GHOSTS OF DAWN -  r e v i e w s

The following reviews are not pure representable for GHOSTS OF DAWN's point of view, especially we want to mention, that the style of music the GHOSTS OF DAWN play is Indi-WaveCore often  political Punk and Dark, with the new songs of the coming album sometimes Ska and in the past sometimes a melange between DarkWaveIndi - especially the first album-CD  Absolutely Independent - and Metal especially the second album-CD Corona & The Sundevil, the reason why GHOSTS OF DAWN played at Wacken Open Air , this 76 minutes-song melanges DarkWaveIndi and Metal which today is defined as Gothic..GHOSTS OF DAWN is NO-METAL(!)-Band ! Perhaps you can say that they have played some songs which are Progressive or Avantgarde Indi Metal... ...progressive, avantgarde, you know? Beer drinking is not the centre-message of the lyrics and the soundlandscape of their music is describing the energy of change, the symbolic-essence of the end most of the time is bad, the nature of the beginning symbolises the good. Consume the things which change your way of watching what's going on on the planet while thinking, thinking and not only consumeing or getting lost in pathetical or current phrases. GHOSTS OF DAWN sing about what is wrong - with the world, with qualities of themes like passion and love and what has to be changed, what can be changed, by you and me.It's not enough to zap through the stations and lament about the bad, bad world. You can embrace a human. And on the other side you can say: <No Mr. and Mrs Yankee, I don't want you here only protecting your interests that your industry in the states is working and making the world slaves of this neocapitalism industrial fascism,while the cops getting money from the industry payed polititians to save the system in itsself, with its weapons, animal-slavery, chemical-and nature-desasters and soziophobia supporting philosophy. No! I want me and the ones I like most not to be slaved by the circumstances the mighties want to dictate us ! No!>

But watch out what people have written about GHOSTS OF DAWN:

MEANS & DELUSIONS - GHOSTS OF DAWN:

The Ghosts Of Dawn are an interesting German alternative metal band. When I say "alternative metal" I do not mean some NU metal guys with oversize trousers, black t-shirts, tattoos and videoclips on MTV. Ghosts Of Dawn play with a distinctive style that blends progressive metal, pre-'90s Metallica and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their songs are complex yet accessible, powerful, with a subtle menacing tone. The musicianship is notable, and the singer knows the difference between "powerful singing" and "screaming". And he alway chooses singing. Lots of powerful riffs and numerous guitar solos make the music exceptionally effective. In this album innovation rhymes with tradition. Highly recommended.

CORONA & THE SUNDEVIL - GHOSTS OF DAWN:

Worldrecord! The monster-song "Corona & the sundevil" composed by the Bad Segebergian Band GHOSTS OF DAWN is running 76 minutes and 44 seconds. What is pendeling half an eternity between Metal and Feedbacks has only one disatvantage: The CD-player strictly refuses to skip. (mw)

Weltrekord! Der Monster-Song "Corona & the sundevil", komponiert von der Bad Segeberger Band GHOSTS OF DAWN, läuft 76 Minuten und 44 Sekunden. Was da eine halbe Ewigkeit zwischen Metal und Feedbacks pendelt, hat nur einen Nachteil: der CD-Player verweigert halsstarrig jedes Skippen. (mw)

if, the man is named S.xxxx. But the correct name of the label is Transmusic Records. Gothic Metal is a little confusing, I rather would call it Independent Progressive Metal.

Goettschmann 30.03.2006-21:26

wenn, dann heisst der gute mann S.xxxx. Richtig ist aber Transmusic Records als Label. Gothic Metal ist ein wenig irreführend, ich wûrds eher Independent Progressive Metal nennen.
