Nashville? Yes. Country music? Not even close. Pure, powerful, and undeniably metallic, DARK HOUND have upped the ante with forthcoming album Dawning, which will be released January 19, 2018.
Following in the sizable footsteps of their 2014 self-titled debut and 2015 EP Oceans, Tennessee’s resident Heavy Metal torchbearers have pulled out all the stops with Dawning. Eschewing genre-blending pablum and trend-hopping futility, the new album finds DARK HOUND proudly display influences from the likes of MEGADETH, IRON MAIDEN, and TESTAMENT without falling victim to uninspired mimicry. Rather, Dawning lands repeated punches to the cranium and leaves memorable marks with its compelling compositions in a way that is familiar, yet refreshing and even unique. Put simply, this is well-written, muscular U.S. Metal in all its fiery glory!
New single “The Ashes of Your Worth” is now streaming below:
Since releasing their first album in 2014, Dark Hound has been building a name for themselves in the Nashville metal scene through blistering live performances and uncompromisingly adventurous songcraft. Comprised of ET Brown (vocals/bass), Evan Hensley (guitars), Preston Walls (guitars) and Josh Brown (drums), Dark Hound followed up their full-length debut with the well-received ‘Oceans’ EP in 2015. And now, the group is poised to bring about their finest hour with the release of ‘Dawning’, a new offering containing 11 tracks of the band’s most intense and ambitious material to date. Focused yet unbridled and armed with a new statement, Dark Hound is charging ahead in their pursuit to kick asses, melt faces, and lay waste.
