Ages by Dawnwalker

Dawnwalker return with the true follow-up to 2018's Human Ruins with 'Ages' - a portrait of a mythical world in decline. The seas swell, the forests burn and a cold wind blows for us all.

There are no two Dawnwalker records which sound the same, but each creates its own world. 'Ages' sees the band move deeper into longform, experimental metal compositions which may appeal to fans of Opeth, Wolves In The Throne Room, Kayo Dot and Tool, mixed with a prog/folk sensibility that stems form a love of King Crimson, the Moody Blues and Led Zeppelin, and pays homage to concept albums from the 1970s to the present day.

“…the sound of hope against hopelessness; togetherness and isolation; and a dawning sense that something is wrong. There is a cataclysm on the horizon."
