After more than two decades, Abysmal Dawn remain one of death metal’s most consistently crushing creative forces. While the Los Angeles natives are working on their upcoming fifth album, next month, the band are hitting the road with Obscura, Thulcandra and Orion Rise on their first-ever tour of Mexico. During this 8-day trek, Abysmal Dawn will perform songs from across their critically-acclaimed discography, including their latest single “Cradle of Affliction”.

As Abysmal Dawn gears up for next month’s Mexico tour, today, drummer James Coppolino is releasing an official playthrough video of “Cradle of Affliction”. With its bone-crushing groove, blinding fills and steady pounding of double bass, the band’s latest single proves why they have such unholy staying power.

During the height of the worldwide apocalyptic dystopia of 2020, Abysmal Dawnpersevered and released one of the greatest albums of their career, Phylogenesis.

In 2022, the technical death metal icons picked up where they left off and unleashed the harrowing four-song Nightmare Frontier. The EP includes an original track, a newly re-recorded version of the 2006 demo “Blacken the Sky”, and two epic cover songs that showcase the band’s musical versatility and limitless talent.

As the completion of their fifth full-length draws near, in October 2026, Abysmal Dawn are embarking on their first tour of Mexico. During this 8-date run with Obscura, Thulcandra and Orion Rise, the band will perform their latest single, “Cradle of Affliction”, live in all its accursed glory.

While they hail from the City of Angels, Abysmal Dawn remain one of death metal's most consistently crushing creative forces. Two decades removed from their very first tour, next month, the L.A. mainstays are hitting the road hard once again with the mighty Krisiun. Only this time, they'll be raising hell with their first new song since 2022.

Today, Abysmal Dawn are releasing "Cradle of Affliction". Even though its various mutations have been banging around in their heads since Phylogenesis, the band's new single proves timely. "'Cradle of Affliction' nods to the sound of our first record and our earlier melodic death metal influences like At The Gates", explains vocalist, guitarist and founding member Charles Elliott. "This one is for Tomas (R.I.P.) and all the fans who have continued to support Abysmal Dawn throughout our journey for more than two decades now".

"The music is written played, recorded and mixed by humans", Elliott continues. "The artwork was created by a human. The music video was shot and edited by a human. We hope you come out to a show and support four of your favorite semi-humans playing death metal while you still can. Cheers!"

The video for "Cradle of Affliction" was directed by Robert Graves (Defiant Digital Productions)

"Cradle of Affliction" bears the bloodied markings of Abysmal Dawn. The production is crisp but thick with heavy double bass and bone-crunching riffs. Back-to-back guitar solos twist like two spires up the same darkened tower, circling back to a killer chorus that begs to be screamed with horns raised to the rafters. "Cursed in name / Blessed in death". Indeed, few bands have ever possessed such unholy staying power.

Abysmal Dawn's latest album Phylogenesis and their most-recent EP Nightmare Frontier are both now available through Season of Mist.
