We are very pleased to announce the release of our latest EP “Driftwood”. Somewhat of an excursion for Dawn of Elysium in a couple of ways, the idea for releasing Driftwood was born from the acoustic performance we did for Alastair Appleby as covered in our previous article. Of the four tracks performed on that…
It has been a very sombre weekend for us in DOE. Our most loyal fan and beloved friend Alastair Appleby is approaching his final days. Some friends rallied round and put together a private gig for him and we were invited to take part. In these difficult times the band has been out of action…
This year has seen a paradigm shift in the band as we turned the page to a new and exciting chapter. Towards the end of last year, we were feeling somewhat despondent, myself more than anyone probably and we were on the verge of asking ourselves some difficult questions about the future of the band….
Just a few months after recruiting new guitarist Tim Furze, we are delighted to announce that we have expanded our numbers further. On 16th July, Kaz Buxton joined the fold as additional lead vocalist. Kaz had previously joined us on stage a couple of times to sing “Divide and Conquer”, which is a song she…
We are excited to announce a mini tour over the spring bank holiday weekend. Three cities over three days, taking in Leeds, Sheffield and Manchester and all at venues which we have never played before. On Friday 24th May, we play at Temple of Boom as support to US Death Rock legends Christian Death. Although…
We are delighted to announce that we have completed the second album. Entitled “Raven”, it’s a follow-up to 2016’s Time and Tide. Although a much shorter work in comparison, Raven explores more sonic territory, showcasing some of our hardest hitting and also some of our most ambient/atmospheric material yet. We have been working on this…
We are extremely pleased to announce the release of this three track EP for your delight. Divide and Conquer is a song I wrote almost ten years ago for my old project Suicide By Cop. The we recorded back then was a slow and powerful epic, co-written with SBC’s keyboardist Mick Dunn. After…
We are extremely honoured to announce that our track “Drown” has been selected for inclusion on the forthcoming “Rock Off Fibro” double CD. There’s a total of 36 artists on it. It also includes other great bands like Spear of Destiny, Spizzenergi, Sex Gang Children, The Main Grains, The Membranes, 1919, Evil Blizzard, Ferocious Dog…
Our single “Drown” has been included on a very worthwhile fundraiser album entitled “Save The Swan”. The Black Swan is a music pub close to the student area of Bradford which has been instrumental in the story of Dawn of Elysium. We have played some 11 gigs there, including our very first appearance some 5…
We are on the lookout for gig opportunities from February 2018 onwards. 2017 has been very quiet on the live front for us and we are itching to get back out and play. If you would like to book us, have any slots we could fill or would like to assist us in finding dates…
