Unyielding darkness and brutality emerge from the deep south of the United States. Atlanta based quartet Cloak blend the sounds of black metal, rock n' roll, and homegrown Southern sludge to create their own unique and menacing sound. The Burning Dawn,' a riff-heavy and groove-laden offering that takes the gothic nuances of its predecessor with added urgency in a more aggressive, vehement spirit. Conceptually, the record comes from a place below the surface where the sleepless and sinister dwell, and is absorbed by the darkest of dreams and the most primal desires.

While rippers like "On Poisoned Ground" and "Into the Storm" deliver a fury of soulful aggression, songs like "Lifeless Silence" and "The Fire, The Faith, The Void" offer a darker, gothic essence, ultimately displaying Cloak's multi-faceted and dynamic musical diversity. So, raise your fists and set fire to the world; this is 'The Burning Dawn'.
