Abysmal Dawn is an American death metal band hailing from Los Angeles, California. After his departure from long running local blackened/death act Rise, Charles Elliott (vocals/guitars) and former Inhuman Visions bandmate Jamie Boulanger (guitars) formed Abysmal Dawn. The pair then recruited drummer Terry Barajas. The newly formed trio then began writing material and released their first three song demo in October of 2004. It garnered the band critical praise within the underground metal press circuit, as well as earning them some high profile gigs. 2005 saw the band playing alongside some of metal's most elite acts such as Exodus, 3 Inches of Blood, Krisiun, Incantation, Hate Eternal, Into Eternity, Exhumed, Aborted, Disgorge, Impaled, Crisis and Decrepit Birth, to name a few. Metal audiences clamored to see the bands energetic stage shows, and demand for a proper recording soon became overwhelming.
In November of 2005, the band entered Shiva Industries in Santa Ana to start work on their debut release entitled From Ashes. For the recording, the band enlisted the help of longtime friend and live bassist, Mike Bear (Ex-Prototype, Artisan) to fill in bass duties.
