Abysmal Dawn Premiere New Single & Music Video "Cradle Of Affliction" From Upcoming New Album

Abysmal Dawn have unveiled their new single, “Cradle Of Affliction,” just ahead of their upcoming North American trek with Krisiun, Pyrexia, and Gorgatron. The Californian death metal outfit recently began recording their sixth studio album this past September, with further details on that release still forthcoming. Elliot further emphasized that no artificial intelligence was utilized in the making of either the song or its accompanying music video, which was directed by Robert Graves and can be viewed below:

“The music is written played, recorded and mixed by humans. The artwork was created by a human. The music video was shot and edited by a human. We hope you come out to a show and support four of your favorite semi-humans playing death metal while you still can. Cheers!”

While freshly released, this latest track traces its roots back to ideas first developed during the creation of 2020’s “Phylogenesis.” Frontman Charles Elliot also dedicated the song to the late Tomas “Tompa” Lindberg (At The Gates, etc.), who sadly passed away from cancer last month. Elliot shared:

“‘Cradle of Affliction‘ nods to the sound of our first record and our earlier melodic death metal influences like At The Gates. This one is for Tomas (R.I.P.) and all the fans who have continued to support Abysmal Dawn throughout our journey for more than two decades now.”
