Blackened death metal band hailing fromLos Angeles, California . Their latest album, "Programmed To Consume " was released in 2008.Band History
After his departure from long running local blackened/death act "Rise", Charles Elliott (vocals/guitars) and former "Inhuman Visions" bandmate Jamie Boulanger (guitars) formed Abysmal Dawn. The pair then recruited drummer Terry Barajas. The newly formed trio then began writing material and released their first three song demo in October 2004. It garnered the band critical praise within the underground metal press circuit, as well as earning them some high profile gigs. 2005 saw the band playing alongside some of metal's most elite acts such as Exodus,
3 Inches of Blood ,Krisiun , Incantation,Hate Eternal ,Into Eternity , Exhumed,Aborted ,Disgorge , Impaled, Crisis and Decrepit Birth, to name a few. Metal audiences clamored to see the bands energetic stage shows, and demand for a proper recording soon became overwhelming.In November 2005, the band entered Shiva Industries in Santa Ana to start work on their debut release entitled
From Ashes . For the recording, the band enlisted the help of longtime friend and live bassist, Mike Bear (Ex-Prototype, Artisan) to fill in bass duties.Band members
