Abysmal Dawn is an American death metal band. Characterized by their heavily Tampa Bay-influenced old-school-meets-new-school sound, the band has slowly but surely worked their way into being a small but growing name in American death metal.Formed in Los Angeles, California in 2003 by Charles Elliott (guitars, vocals), Jamie Boulanger (guitars), and Terry Barajas (drums), the band started off as a mostly studio-bound project due to their lack of a bassist and quickly released a demo the following year. Surprisingly, the demo proved to be fairly successful, and the band started to land opening gigs with various national acts. Full-length recording began late the following year, and the band drafted their old Inhuman Visions bandmate Mike Bear to play bass on the album, though he chose not to stick around. These sessions resulted in From Ashes, which dropped in 2006 to positive reviews and led to multiple supporting slots with national acts, and acquiring Carlos Arriola as a full-time bassist certainly helped even more. Arriola did not last long, however, and was later replaced with Mike Cosio in 2007. Work began on a second full-length that same year; shortly after it was completed, the band inked a deal with Relapse Records and released Programmed to Consume as their major-label debut, leading to even more touring. Boulanger left that same year, however, and was quickly replaced by Ian Jekelis; in addition, Barajas left shortly after and was replaced by Ken Bedene for a short while as a live drummer until they could find a new full-timer, who they eventually found in 2010 in the form of Scott Fuller, which incidentally was the year that Jekelis left to focus on Abigail Williams. Undeterred, the band began work as a three-piece on a new album and eventually released Leveling the Plane of Existence in 2011. Cosio left shortly after, with Eliseo Garcia taking his place, while Andy Nelson was recruited as their new live guitarist and was eventually inducted as a full-time member. Tours with Origin and Cannibal Corpse followed, though the band settled down in late 2012 to write another full-length. That album, Obsolescence, will hit in October of 2014. After several more scattered tours, Scott Fuller and Andy Nelson left at some point between 2015 and 2016; James Coppolino and Allan Marcus were drafted as live fill-ins. Coppolino has since been made full-time, but it remains to be seen whether the same will be true for Marcus or not. As of September 2017, the band has signed to Season of Mist, and after several years of delay and false starts, Phylogenesis was announced for a spring 2020 release.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Bookends: Programmed to Consume opens with a creepy spoken word piece (courtesy of Sacha Dunable from Intronaut) over a noise backdrop that leads into the title track; if you listen to the end of "Walk the Path of Fire" closely, you'll realize that the noise passage that ends the song leads back into the beginning of the album.

Apocalypse How: A common lyrical theme, with "The Inevitable Return to Darkness" being one of the more in-depth explorations of the subject.

Black Metal: Certainly influenced by it, and elements of it have been popping up since Leveling the Plane of Existence.
