Autumn’s Dawn is an Australian metal band formed in 2014 by two seasoned musicians, Tim Yatras (known as Sorrow, founding member of Austere, Germ and many other bands) and Matthew Bell (known as Anguish, member of Tjaktjadálvve, Skuggor among the many). Both artists were already recognized in the Australian metal scene for their involvement in various other projects before coming together to create a band that would blend elements of black metal, depressive rock, and atmospheric music.
The inception of Autumn’s Dawn marked a departure from the traditional black metal sound that both members were known for, aiming instead to craft music that captured a broader emotional spectrum. Their debut album, Gone, was released in 2014 via Eisenwald Tonschmiede. The album was well-received, praised for its melancholic melodies, emotive lyrics, and the seamless integration of various metal subgenres. 2020 saw the release of sophomore record Dying Ember, following which the band spent a quiet few years, before coming back with their third record, We Lost Our Hope Along The Way, scheduled for spring 2025. A first single, “Far From Home”, can now be streamed via YouTube.
Autumn’s Dawn‘s music is characterized by its atmospheric and emotional depth, combining the raw intensity of black metal with the melancholic and introspective elements of depressive rock. Their sound often features haunting melodies, somber guitar riffs, and poignant lyrics, exploring themes of loss, despair, and introspection. Influences range from traditional black metal bands to more contemporary atmospheric and post-metal acts.
The Australian duo will release their third studio album, We Lost Our Hope Along The Way, on March 28th, 2025 on CD, LP and digital via Avantgarde Music.
