UK underground progressive champions Dawnwalker unveil their latest opus »The Unknowing«. Helmed by mastermind and songwriter Mark Norgate, »The Unknowing« features an exciting new cast of players including Luke Fabian (ex-Pupil Slicer), Sofia Sourianou (Deathbloom, Lure In), Chris J Allan (ex-Malefice) and flautist Bella Band. Conceived across three studio albums, »The Unknowing« promises a sharply tuned focus on songwriting, harmony and sonic finesse through a new found foray into heavy, art-rock flavoured songs.

Main songwriter Mark Norgate hints that “The album deals with grand themes that we’ve been reaching for throughout our whole discography; a conscious move away from post-metal towards something spacier and more progressive; and probably more pop too.” »The Unknowing« promises to challenge fans and listeners as a concept album meditating on grand themes concerning our shared search for belonging, and our desire to know our place in this vast, hostile and unknowable universe.

Following their widely acclaimed fifth album »House Of Sand«, Dawnwalker continue to build their legacy independently and will self-release »The Unknowing« on October 18th in-house on classic black Vinyl, plus a limited blue marbled vinyl variant, making »The Unknowing« is a relic for record collectors. In late 2023, Dawnwalker completed a short double-headlining UK tour with HealthyLiving, initiating some of this new recording line-up ahead of the album writing and studio process. The band have also shared stages with the likes of <Bruit, Sacred Son, Bodies On Everest, Sugar Horse, Novere, and more.
