Welcome to Gaia! ::

I just noticed that there's no thread here for Dawn, and as they sit beside Immortal at the top of my personal favorite black metal bands, I figured I'd go ahead and start one.

Anyway, they've been around since 1990 and released their first demo in 1992 and their first EP and LP both in 1994. They broke up for a long time, but have been back together for a couple years now. It's hard to find their stuff, and it's expensive when you do, so I doubt anybody will be rushing out to buy their albums. Still, I'd certainly give them a listen if Swedish melodic black metal appeals to you at all.

I downloaded Nær Sólen Gar Niþer For Evogher awhile ago, its pretty good. They are definitely in my top five favorite BM acts.

Oh, I already did that. It's more of a "collector's obsession" thing for me.
