Dawn Of Ashes


Dawn Of Ashes
Anatomy Of Suffering
Metropolis Records
Release: 20 March 2026

With a group name that suggests ‘the beginning of the end’, Dawn Of Ashes (DOA) was founded in Los Angeles by Kristof Bathory at the turn of the millennium. Emerging from the industrial and aggrotech genres before expanding into the blackened metal and extreme industrial scenes, they have been a relentless force ever since, evolving and redefining the boundaries of extreme music.

Bathory relocated to Denmark shortly before writing and recording DOA’s 2025 album, ‘Infecting The Scars’. It was a record that marked a rebirth for the band, fusing the raw, unfiltered aggression of the past with a refined and evolved sound.

‘Anatomy Of Suffering’ maintains momentum, with its singles ‘Penumbra’ (a collaboration with

Suicide Commando) and the just released ‘Viral Decay’ signalling Bathory’s intent, fully embracing the classic DOA sound – harsh synths, aggressive rhythms and oppressive atmospheres – and paying homage to their genre’s old-school brutality.

A darker, heavier, and more focused chapter in the group’s evolution, ‘Anatomy Of Suffering’  brings together raw atmosphere with precision production and also features some notable collaborations.
