Since its inception in 2004, Adelaide’s A Red Dawn have been establishing a reputation for their impeccable musicianship and uncompromising live shows throughout the Australian metal scene.
In a musical landscape where bands too easily follow trends; and having tread the boards long enough too see trends come and go, A Red Dawn since day one has always considered originality and musical expression more important than ‘breakdowns, tight pants, haircuts and scene points’ with a sound that incorporates traditional death metal stylings ( Death / Cynic ) fused with elements of free form jazz, to create a brutal soundscape that grabs the attention of any avid metal supporter.
After self producing and financing their demo Ep “ This Urban Conflict, and many interstate shows in support of this, A Red Dawn have played with all the big names in Australian metal ( Psycroptic, Shallow Grave, Pathogen, Double Dragon, Truth Corroded, Terrorust, Lynchmada, Black Like Vengeance, The Jonestown Syndicate, Picture The End, F**k Im Dead, Synthesist, Contrive ) and also appeared twice on Against The Grain festival ( 1 & 3 ) A Red Dawn are now focused on taking their live sound, and music a step forward with their latest release ‘The Need To Defy’, released nationally in 2008 through Truth Inc Records.
Produced by Ian ‘ E-dog’ Miller ( Double Dragon / Cry Murder ) ‘The Need To Defy’ has pushed the envelope one step further with five tracks of sheer brutality, with the bands music twisting and turning through flawless syncopated riffs, insane time signatures and effortless jazz sections, A Red Dawn are now poised and ready to make their mark on an already flourishing Australian Metal Community.
A RED DAWN ARE HERE TO DEFY!
