Dawn Fades - Dawn Fades (2019) EN

Combining the best traditions of the Californian shoegaze with the crushing sound of post-metal, Dawn Fades hail from the West Coast. Their new album entitled simply Dawn Fades, shows how to  successfully merge the two, not quite compatible, genres. 

Their work is somehow like post-hardcore made airy: the crazily fast pace of metal music is considerably slowed down, the growl more melancholic and the genre's characteristic kitschy, a bit boyband-like vocal substituted with a gentle, shoegaze/progressive one. Sometimes the guitars, like in Ashes, turn more aggressive, but, at least in this track, they are balanced with extremely dreamy backing vocals. The exact moment when the metal soul is replaced with love for sadness, in this moment Dawn Fades are the best. Just like in my favourite track here Freeze - a ballad on very loud electric guitars and growls.
