Nucleus

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 500 copies! Chicago's Dawnbringer could very well be the most under-appreciated underground metal band in the U.S. Formed more than fifteen years ago by prolific multi-instrumentalist Chris Black (also of Nachtmystium and a number of other projects), the group put out an EP and two killer and highly praised full-lengths in the late nineties and early two-thousands. After a brief hiatus, Black resurrected Dawnbringer in 2006 as a one-man act to release In Sickness and in Dreams, a dense, 25-minute record packed with myriad classic metal influences. The album caught the attention of Profound Lore Records, who contacted Black about the status of his band, and just like that, a deal with struck to release a follow-up. With a new concept for Dawnbringer, Black gathered a few trusted collaborators and entered Semaphore Studios to record his latest collection of songs with Sanford Parker (Yob, Zoroaster, Unearthly Trance) at the controls. Nucleus is Dawnbringer's strongest work to date, once again proving Black to be one of the most creative and talented musicians in the underground. Incorporating elements from new wave of British heavy metal, progressive, traditional and melodic death metal, it has all the ingredients of a true classic heavy metal album.
