Abysmal Dawn finally broke out the seven strings on their new song "Soul-Sick Nation," and boy is heavy. The song also features some guitar solos from Fredrik Folkare (Unleashed, Firespawn) as an added bonus!
"This is a super heavy and groovy one. It's the first time we've used 7 string guitars and the first time we've tuned to A standard," said vocalist and guitarist Charles Elliott. "Lyrically the song deals with inner demons and the mental health epidemic. Something that has touched so many people in my life, including myself."
"On a more uplifting note, the song features three ripping solos. One from our very own Vito Petroni (solo #2), and two from Fredrik Folkare (solos #1 and #2) of Unleashed and Firespawn! It was a great honor to have Fredrik play on our record; he's an absolute beast of player. We played some shows in South America in late 2018, and asked him to play on our record after a night of drinking probably too much Pisco. So happy it worked out because he laid down something truly special. Enjoy!"
Abysmal Dawn will also soon drop a cover of Candlemass' track "Bewitched" as a part of New Noise magazine's coming issue.In the meantime, go pre-order Phylogenesis before it comes out on April 17.
