INFORMATIONS
COUNTRY : France
STYLE : Death Metal
For fans of Children Of Bodom-style Guitar, Dimmu Borgir and Gojira
The Dawn Razor is a solo Death Metal project created in Paris in 2017 by Sylvain Spanu, vocalist and lead guitarist.
The concept comes from ideas and paintings from the Sublime Movement, a sub-branch of romanticism created in the 18th century.
What we call sublime is unbounded, powerful, difficult to apprehend and understand. It is not necessarily beautiful, and gives a feeling of awe and respect because it escapes human control. In sublime presence, one experiences a pleasure mixed with fear.
Does this definition sound familiar to you ?
For me it’s exactly the feeling that Metal provokes when I listen to it. This music is so violent with screaming voices, saturated bass sounds, brutal drumming, yet when Ithink about it,Ifind this music very beautiful, Frighteningly beautiful, how is that possible? That’s it, Metal is sublime.
The name « The Dawn Razor » evokes the line of light on the horizon just before the sun rise. This image is a good representation of the music while contrasting light and dark. We find a deep voice and non melodic riffs in opposition to luminous guitar solos. Among the musical influences we can mention : Children of Bodom, Gojira, Dimmu Borgir and classical music without falling into clichés.
Since the first album, The Dawn Razor has played about ten concerts in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Tunisia.
