Introducing: US doom/death metal band Dusk from Green Bay, Wisconsin!

Dusk is a doom/death metal band, formed in 1993 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

US based doom-death masters Dusk have released their latest album »Dissolve Into Ash« on December 18th, 2023. It is the band’s first full-length album in 28 years, following on from the debut »…Majestic Thou In Ruin« which was originally released in 1995.

»Dissolve Into Ash« was released in late 2023 via Dark Symphonies / The Crypt Vinyl on CD and vinyl and on tape via Dread Records. The release is distributed through Dark Descent Records. The album was produced by David Pietila at SourceTrack Studio.

With »Dissolve Into Ash«, Dusk tried to stay true to their old-school death-doom roots, since not having recorded a full-length since 1995, and at the same time ushering in a new modern version of the band. Fans of old school and new fans who never heard of Dusk should be pleased with the result.

Regarding the background of the new album, the band commented: “Birthed out of the Covid pandemic, the inspiration of the material for this release was an overall sadness. The purpose of this album is to somehow musically equate the overall demise of mankind; an almost apocalyptic/end days atmosphere. The title »Dissolve Into Ash« was derived from an ancient Latin funeral dirge entitled »Dies Irae«.”

Since reforming in 2015, Dusk has released a compilation »Dusk / …Majestic Thou In Ruin« (2015, Dark Symphonies), an EP »Withdraw« (2018, Dark Symphonies) and a full-length »Dissolve Into Ash« (2023, Dark Symphonies).
