Abysmal Dawn Will Be Recording a New Album This Year, Just Don’t Expect It Anytime Soon

Earlier this week, California death metal outfit Abysmal Dawn announced that they’d be recording their sixth full-length offering this year. It was a welcome reveal for fans, as the band hasn’t put out an album since 2020’s Phylogenesis.

In the announcement made on their social media accounts, Abysmal Dawn revealed that they’d been working on said album for a while now, but that they just needed to enter into the studio and get started committing it to tape… or hard drive… or whatever the saying would be these days.

Rather than paraphrase their announcement, here’s exactly what they said:

“Wishing everyone a Happy New Year as we enter into 2025! We’ve been hard at work on our new album, which we’ll be recording this upcoming year. Depending on how things work out, it should be out either late 2025 or early 2026. We have just a few more songs to complete before we enter the studio.

“We’re very excited about this one; you won’t be disappointed. We do hope to release a little something before that to hold people over though, so look out! A single or two is in the works. 2024 was a year of mostly working on new material, but we plan to be more active on the road next year. Cheers, from the Abysmal Prawns! – Charles, Eliseo, James, Vito”

Bummer that fans are going to have to potentially wait until next year before they get the official release, but hopefully we’ll hear some new tunes well before that. It’s been enough of a long wait for new music from the band.
