Blind Before Dawn is primarily a dark electronic act who are underground veterans of the gothic / metal industrial/EBM scene and doesn't care about genre boundaries in this brave new world.
Having drawn influences from both the musical likes of Apoptygma Berzerk,Nine Inch Nails,Clan Of Xymox,AFI, Orgy, Deadstar Assembly ( plus the influence of living in the oppressive city of Manchester -taking off from the heyday of Factory Records ).
Blind Before Dawn are out to create something new,something refreshing ,to do away with the cliched ubiquitous sounds of the music scene.
In 2006,after the previous incarnation of BBD dissovled.Founder member and sole survivor of the original lineup of BBD - Davi "Xtian" Lovatt - was propelled on by a barrage of new darker and heavier material in the wake of the learning curve album "Distance" , BBD recruited a backing singer and guitarist in David Novan.
During mid 2007 the band begun recording their follow up single "Breaking The Haloes" featuring the title track, plus a re-vamping of the song "Disintegrity" (originally penned for the Distance album but ultimately was dropped from that release because the band no longer liked the original studio recording).Plus remixes from several established bands. The single received good reviews,but minimal exposure, it was always seen as a pre-cursor teaser for bigger and better things.
Having endured a long and strenuous battle in the face of being overlooked and underrated - the band have worked their way up to a well respected level both in the studio and their growing amount of live acts. often hailed as one of the hardest working underground bands on the UK alternative scene - they have fought tooth and nail to get where they are,never backed down .. and never will.
They were hailed as being one of the most interesting,hardworking,melodically crafted, underground British playing within the UK gothic scene in 2008.
To the end of 2008 , the band began talks with Rebco Records on signing the band to Rebco's sister label called Mandrax Industries ( as the other side of the coin for Rebco - Mandrax will expand upon the gothic and alternative rock end of the spectrum in the goth scene) ,which had been very hush hush until recently.BBD are the flagship of Mandrax- and released the thoroughly unpretentious "Regress / Progress" album in early 2009 after being joined by Mat Lahan on keyboards. Mat being the singer and songwriter for Halifax UK's industrial act Machine Wraith.Mat has since moved to become BBD's new rhythm guitarist
Regress.... chronicles the best 10 years of BBD from outtakes and revamped old songs, carefully selected songs from the now deleted "Distance" album. Plus several remixes and 3 brand new songs showing diversity,and depth going straight for the jugular.
The band's new EP shall be released in time for the end of October - featuring new tracks ,a surprise cover song, plus remixes of their songs by Stacy 16 , 19 Ninety Nine, Schwarzes Fragment , James Perry , Schultz , and the internationally respected DJ LedManville.

You'll be pleased to know that the enchanting Dr Dread of 'The Shanklin Freak Show' has fully recovered from the gash on his head. I read your blog about the Gig and am sorry to hear that you didn't get the chance to really chat with them - sure they'll be other times. I also noticed that you've got my good mates Jagged on your Top Friends. I think this is their old profile and you might want to up-date to their new one. Have a great weekend.
