Meridian Dawn


History

The band was conceived by vocalist Antony Hämäläinen, drummer Johan Nunez, guitarist Brandon Johnson, bassist/guitarist Nicholas Ziros, and guitarist Christopher "CJ" Cussell. Songs were written after about a year of file exchange as the majority of the band lived in different parts of the world. On March 25, 2014 the band released its first ever EP titled The Mixtape. It is a collection of five songs that were created in different studios, with different producers from both Sweden and America respectively.
After some changes in line-up, on June 1, 2020, it was announced the band is ready to unleash its first full length The Fever Syndrome. Longtime drummer Johan Nunez the only familiar face from the band's debut EP, provides a stellar and versatile drum performance that compliments the varied, yet cohesive, song writing.
Engineered and mixed by Meridian Dawn and mastered once again by Jeff Cloyes, Lauryn Hill, Plies, “The Fever Syndrome” was released July 10th, 2020 in both digital streaming and limited deluxe digipack edition via Seeing Red Records.

Musical style

Meridian Dawn's music is generally considered a mixture of European death metal and melodic death metal., The Age Of Metal observes "vocal contrasts between clean and guttural vocals are impressive, and the production value goes beyond expectation for an EP release". VarietyOfDeathZine commented the band "has a modern and melodic approach to metal while also being very heavily influenced by death metal which shows up mostly in the vocals."
