Dawn Of Demise from was formed in 2004 by Bjørn Jensen and Martin Sørensen with the sole purpose of playing heavy and catchy Death Metal. Bjørn’s brother Scott from the 90's Deathgrind band Infernal Torment, came out of retirement to do vocals once again. Dawn of Demise is by far the least "scandinavian-sounding” band from Denmark and can be best described as a blend of US Death Metal and New York Slam Death Metal. The band has always emphasized on heaviness and catchiness rather than speed and technicality. Their recipe for Death Metal has basically remained the same since day one and they have proven this on 2 full-lengths and 1 E.P, all released through Massachusetts based label, Deepsend Records.

Numerous press outlets have picked up the strong and impassioned message in the wake of this massive hit to the Heavy Metal community.
To be very honest, I was never a fan of this band, and as hard as I try, I can never actually be a fan of this band. They have never produced any album that would lead me to say, "awesome stuff". Their last good work would be Death Ritual back in 2008. I did not have very high expectation from Undead as well, and to be honest, it actually lived upto my low expectation only!

This French quintet probably gave us their best production till now, with their latest offering. Gorod, a Death Metal/Grindcore band, came up with some of the very best new Death Metal tracks in the year 2012, with their latest album to offering A Perfect Absolution. Their last two full length album Leading Vision and Process Of A New Decline also served us with some nice tracks, and nonetheless, they were very nicely crafted as well. The band draws shows heavy latin, bebop influences mixed with tremolo picking and double bass drumming. They draw heavy influences from bands like Death, Cynic, Martyr etc. Adding to that, the songwriting is catchy and meaningful as well!
