“A chill, fist-bangin’ time will be had by all, as »Cosmic Dawn« skilfully blends 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s influence into a sleek heavy metal/hard rock hybrid. The biggest musical references are Blue Öyster Cult, Uriah Heep, Manilla Road, Angel Witch, Tank, and a helpful dose of Death for good measure.” – Decibel
»Cosmic Dawn« will be available on limited edition vinyl LP (250) and CD (500), as well as on digital format.
