Dawn Ray'd were a British black metal band.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

In 2008, singer and violinist Simon Barr and guitarist Fabian Devlin formed a band named We Came Out Like Tigers in Liverpool. In the following years, drummer Matthew Broadley would join them, leading to the creation of a black metal band, named Dawn Ray'd. The group was named after a line in Voltairine de Cleyre's 1898 poem Santa Agueda about the assassination of Antonio Cánovas del Castillo.[2] The group was openly anarchist and anti-fascist.[3][4][5]

The band released their first EP, A Thorn, a Blight, in 2015, followed by their first album, The Unlawful Assembly, in 2017.[6][7] In 2017, the group additionally signed with record label Prosthetic Records.[8]

In 2019, the group released their second album, Behold Sedition Plainsong.[9] Kerrang! reviewed the album at 4/5 stars, stating that the band "simultaneously exemplify and challenge black metal rebellion here."[10]

In September 2023, the band announced they had broken up.[11]
