Front man Charles Elliot on the new song and upcoming tour:
"Here's another new song for you guys right before we head out on our North American tour! It's the fast and epic closer to our new album 'Obsolescence", and it even features some vocal trade-offs with our bass player Eliseo for a change. We hope you all enjoy the brutality and beauty in this one. See you the road soon!"
The first song off of Obsolescence, "Inanimate" can be heard on Sound Cloudand YouTube.
Throughout the recording of Obsolescence, ABYSMAL DAWN shot a series of videos documenting the process. The first video in the series can be viewed HERE and the second episode can be seen HERE.

ABYSMAL DAWN strikes the perfect balance between extreme songwriting and exceptional skill with an infectious blend of technical yet memorable riffs, throat shredding vocals, and crushing rhythms delivered with machine gun precision.
