Sorathian Dawn are a band from Australia that plays a very melodic and occult form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2023 album "Radiant Terror".

Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album along with some thunder sounds before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams.

Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the Swedish style while the solos and leads also add in a lot of melody. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some of the tracks being long and epic in length along with one track also introducing clean playing onto the album, death metal growls can also be heard at times as well as one track also being an instrumental.

Sorathian Dawn plays a style of occult black metal that is very melodic and aggressive sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover the Wild Hunt, Kalki The Destroyer, Eastern/Western Mythologies, Sinister Occult Practices and Doctrines.

In my opinion Sorathian Dawn are a very great sounding melodic occult black metal b and and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Arsonist Of Creation" "Tyrant Wolf Cult Attacks" and "Sons of Sulphur". 8 out of 10.

Release Date: 10th of October 2023

FFO: Dissection, Marduk, Watain

Location: Sydney, Australia

Sorathian Dawn is a melodic black metal band from Sydney, Australia. Since emerging from their nocturnal catacombs in 2012 to release a self-titled debut they have been a mainstay in Australia’s underground black metal scene, culminating in their most recent performance to support Watain in 2019.

In 2014 Sorathian Dawn released a single demo ‘Lawless One’ while continuing to perform locally and in 2019 they released a 5 track EP entitled ‘Sun of the Deep’. This album was steeped in occult mysticism and sinister black magic themes that wound their way through technical and melodic guitars and intense virtuosic drums.

In 2020 Sorathian Dawn returned to their crypt and began work on their latest release, ‘Radiant Terror’. They spent three years crafting a dark and majestic offering that embodies their style of sinister black metal magic and on October 10 of 2023 ‘Radiant Terror’ was unleashed from its dark tomb to blaze a new path for Sorathian Dawn.
