Biography

The beginning..
It all started in a small town called Finspång in Sweden, around the year of 2000 when Patrik Johansson (guitar), Mats Johansson (guitar) and Torbjörn Edqvist (drums) met in school and became very good friends. The common interest for Heavy Metal and in particular Iron Maiden did that we wanted to start a band. So we hired a rehearsalroom and started to practice, only Iron Maiden songs were included in the repertoire at this time. After a while the "band" got bored of playing covers, so we started to write our own songs. At this time Mats younger brother Pelle joined for the bass position and Patrik also started to sing, and Dawn of Silence was born!

The first demo "Eternity" was recorded in a local studio in 2002, thereafter 4 more demos have been recorded, all in local studios, World of lies (2003), Follow your heart (2003), Fear of life (2004) and Lost all hope (2005). These demos have brought forth alot of good reviews in magazines, netzines and more. Songs have been played over the radio in a various of contries, and Dawn of Silence have so begun to create a name, especially in the hometown after their notorious live performances. The only thing missing was a record deal, to spread the music world wide.

In 2006 the band got tired of waiting for a recorddeal, therefore we decided to go into "Black Lounge studio" with Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Centinex) as producer/engineer and record our first professional fullength album. The recording paid off, with the same linup and heart and soul of melodic heavymetal, Dawn of Silence will release the long time eagerly awaited debut album.

From here we're moving on..
