Behold the end of man We buried our hate in the earth Now it is time to reap as we've sown Unable to undo what's been done The flames of war rage on Steel rains from the sky Deafening cries As gas fills our lungs awaiting our time to die Extinction Is eminent Pain penance fucking death This pain is our penance And death will be the price This pain is our penance It is through our ignorance And it is our greed that's brought us here A display of the very worst in man is his willingness to kill one another This pain will be our penance and death will be the price

about

Following up on the 2022 Demo, Vile Light returns to offer up their second assault. The Black Dawn takes their established blueprint and recasts it in a bleaker, blackened, more violent conception.

The grinding chaos of songs “Pain Penance Death” and “Bled of All Hope” pay homage to Canadian War Metal masters, while incorporating the barbarity of USBM legends Black Witchery and Profanatica. Built upon that same infernal foundation, “Shadow of Sorrow” begins as a foggy blackened screed, before descending into a frenzied climax of blast beats and feverish Slayer-esque leads. “The Lie,” like a hammer blow to the skull, utilizes the raw intensity of Nails, reminding us that in war, simplicity is often the best weapon. Despite pulling influences across many genre’s, Vile Light’s end goal remains: sonic barbarism.

The Black Dawn is 12 minutes of razor-sharp nuclear fury aimed straight at the feeble heart of man.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
