Biography
Band was born in Lisbon, in the spring of 2004, formed originally by three Heavy Metal freaks.
Dawnrider frontman F.J. Dias and J. Barrelas teams up with H. Conim and quickly add the rhythm section made up of Samuel Rebelo on bass and Victor "Silver" on drums. All these members have contributed in the past in several underground bands from Portugal some with lesser importance, others with bigger impact.
The next year they took the underground by storm when they made their first live appearance in July 2005, to promote their debut Split EP with Maryland's War Injun out on Blood and Iron Records (also based in Lisbon). Praises have been coming from such influent masters as John Garner (Sir Lord Baltimore), Dick Wagner (Frost, Ursa Major, Alice Cooper) and Clive Jones (Black Widow, Agony Bag).
On June 2007, right before their debut album comes out, bass player Samuel quits the band and joins in Carlos "Sven" who was previously in The No-Counts and Brainwashed by Amalia. On April 2008 right before the start of the recording of the second album, Victor leaves the band and André (Theriomorphic, ex-Shadowsphere, etc.), an experienced drummer of the Death/Thrash scene, joins the band. A new journey takes place.
Embracing a whole culture of 70s Psychedelic Hard Rock and old-school Doom Metal making it sound fresh and modern, Dawnrider is here to stay, bringing a positive message, brought by an imaginary freedom warrior riding unknown roads, battling against evil spirits and destroying oppressive human condition.
