Something inside of me won’t let me walk away
I'm weighed down by promises left unfulfilled and strained
And when you left me for the reaper
I bow my head and pray
Go forth take my soul from this world in my last agony
I’m waiting to repent
For sins only I can mend
Wearing my crimson mask
Because I’m true till death
When she speaks, her words come out in flames
Spit on you, the darkness turns to venom on your face
An anger born from decades past
Erupt my consciousness
Born again, dagger in hand
The veil left torn to shreds
I’m waiting to repent
For sins only I can mend
Wearing my crimson mask
Because I’m true till death
Something inside me just won’t die
And it is a love that was never mine
I’m waiting to repent
For sins only I can mend
Wearing my crimson mask
Because I’m true till death
I’m in trouble, no I can’t lie
I've got one foot in the grave and a hand on a knife
And there’s no one that can stop me now
Overwhelmed with guilt and left in doubt
You’ve got to run, you’ve got to hide, cus what's left is gone
And if you think you’re going to change
My emotions or my mind
There is nothing that you can say
And this night has closed my eyes
I've got nothing left to regain
What was my cross to bear, you threw away
And I've struggled, yeah and I denied
But it's time to make a choice, it's you or I
You’ve got to run and you’ve got to hide, cus what's left is gone
And if you think you’re going to change
My emotions or my mind
There is nothing that you can say
And this night has closed my eyes
This is the charm, and this is my pain
There’s no tomorrow
You took it away
This is the charm, and I gave you my life
There’s no tomorrow
This night has closed my eyes
Fires burning light up the night sky
Hallucinations of the true divine
Dark night alone
Forever my soul is torn
A new moon reclaims
Now let us go and light the flame
You wear the skin to hide your alibi
The beast will show its teeth when it is time
Dark night alone
Forever my soul is torn
A new moon reclaims
Now let us go and light the flame
Now let us go and light the flame
Go and light the flame
Dark night
New moon
I feel this change irrupting inside of me
I feel the power of my offerings
I feel this change irrupting my soul
The darkness in my veins makes me feel whole
about
NEW DAWN FADES is the musical brainchild of George Chamberlin aka GFA, a concept originally brought to life as a solo studio affair back in mid-2022. Starting with the first 3 songs, George took to the studio in between other projects, singing and recording all the instruments himself except the drums, resulting in the 2023 release of their debut EP, Forever.
Expanding the lineup since their inception with the addition of former Blackhand guitarist Corey Pettingill, former Boy Sets Fire bassist Rob Avery, and Trunk drummer Luis Hernandez, New Dawn Fades has continued to refine their sonic identity. Their self-described heavy psych riff rock signature sound — which puts a contemporary spin on influences from across the stoner, doom, hard rock, and grunge canon including Kyuss, Soundgarden, Danzig, and Black Flag — has earned them a diverse and growing fanbase as well as accolades from Doom Charts, Aversion Online, and Musipedia of Metal, who predicted their future as being ‘everyone’s favorite band very, very soon.’
With momentum at an all-time high, New Dawn Fades are prepping for a busy year ahead, distilling a treasure trove of tracks into their debut LP, slated for release towards the end of 2024, as well as commissioning a vinyl release for their existing EP. To bring their music to the people, a spree of live shows and tour dates is also in the works — which will be announced in due time.
“The vocals are wickedly entertaining with GFA reveling in frontman persona. I expect this band to make a name for themselves within the Stoner Metal Underground Scene with perhaps a more substantial release. Excellent and Highly Recommended.” – Outlaws of the Sun
“There’s this undercurrent of punk, grunge and sludge, but it’s the stonerized hardrock and blues that prevails and grooves the most. Riff heavy and heavy in their nods towards the good stuff from the eighties and nineties. Seriously, you could listen to this Forever…” - Doom Charts.
"...the three tracks on the Forever EP are way more stoner grunge, and I am not sure there is an EP in recent memory I am more excited for a full length follow up because these three songs are next level great. Talk about leaving you wanting more, Forever is a tease of the highest order." - Musipedia Of Metal
"The songs have a lot of swing to them, which is a bluesy doom style I particularly like. Although based in Philly, there is a bit of the Carolinas style making me feel some influence from COC and the like. All the performances are top notch and so is the production. George's vocals are a stand out, perfect voice for New Dawn Fades. If you like doom slash hard rock, you're going to like New Dawn Fades. It is 2023, I look forward to their future and literally can't wait for the very next release!" - Tommy Stewart, Black Doomba Records
"While the band name and cover art might have you conjuring visions of Joy Division-influenced post-punk of some sort, in fact you'll be greeted by a brand of sludgy-yet-propulsive "stoner rock" that very much brings to mind Deliverance era C.O.C. I mean, if you can't imagine Pepper Keenan belting out the chorus of "True Till Death," I don't know what the hell you're listening to! Very strong writing all around: great riffs, forceful builds into memorable choruses, and relatively straightforward and to-the-point without being overly simplistic. I had been following this undertaking on Instagram and was curious, but I have to confess this is even better than I might have anticipated." - Aversion Online

If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back...

I've been a fan of Demonio since their first album, and this one is even better! The music has a lot more blues and psychedelic influence this time around, and it pays off big time.
The guitar has a lot of distortion and reverb which makes the riffs feel like you are traveling through time and space. And the bass holds down a solid groove in the background to keep the music moving forward.
This is some great fuzzy music and if you are into underground heavy psych, definitely pick this one up. revengebymagick
What I like about Draken too is that the music is fierce but not too macho, aggressive but not dumb. The most important feature is masterfull riffage though, and writing songs that stick in your brain and make you yearn for the time you can bang your head along in front of the stage. I seriously can’t wait to see this live. Weirdo Shrine
