[MUSIC INTERVIEW] DEIMOS’ DAWN – Anthem Of The Lost Interview
When Germany’s flagship-growler Marc Grewe (ex-Morgoth, Insidious Disease) gets ready to step behind a microphone, you can be sure to be bombarded with pure Death Metal … until now! Because with Deimos’ Dawn the scene veteran stands for the first time in front of a THRASH METAL band of pure and classical coinage and puts the inclined fan these days the first album “Anthem Of The Lost” in the shelves! Bands like Kreator, Slayer, Sodom and Sepultura have obviously left deep marks on the band’s founders Andy DoĆ© (guitar), Matthias Lange (bass) and Mathias Schmidt (drums), so that the three men in their mid-forties, who have known each other since early childhood, didn’t have to spend a long time looking for ideas when they launched Deimos Dawn in 2017 and soon recruited the perfect frontman in Marc.
12 songs, on which Grewe with the full vocal range of his skills and the most diverse vocal performance of his career puts the black-golden crown of a poison and bile-spewing king of the underworld, are waiting to blow a fresh wind of devastation through your brain. The band’s great joy in playing makes it unmistakably clear that Deimos’ Dawn are something special. So special, in fact, that former Sodom guitarist and jack-of-all-trades Andy Brings had to write (nearly) all lyrics and produce Grewe’s vocals out of sheer enthusiasm for the concept and songs. Yes, had to!
In order not to let anything go wrong with the overall sound, Deimos’ Dawn went into the experienced hands of Corny Rambadt (Sodom, Disbelief, Darkness). With “Anthem Of The Lost” Deimos’ Dawn undoubtedly write a new, strong chapter in the big book of Thrash Metal!
