Industrial black metal is almost always a train wreck. It’s either the sound of a black metal band with their first drum machine or an industrial band with terrible keyboard parts and even worse vocals. Dawn of Ashes have always been able to avoid those pitfalls, and they’re even better on Theophany. Dawn of Ashes seamlessly meld industrial beats with metallic influence, death/black vocals, electronics, and symphonic portions into a cold, black metal inspired sound that should have been what Samael morphed into after Passage. Excellent industrial groove combined with relentless double bass, powerful vocals, and heavy synth/riff combos.
