Hailing from Thessaloniki, Greece, black metal trio Ignominous emerge from the shadows with the release of their first single from the upcoming debut album Dawn With No Light. Formed in 2020, the band features Anestis Nekhromancer (Terrordrome, Twilight, Obscence, Medivial) on bass, Chris (ex-Regent) on guitar and vocals, and Billy Vongaar (Terrordrome, Twilight, Disembowel, Yoth Iria, Head Cleaner) on drums.
The path to Dawn With No Light hasn’t been without its challenges. The pandemic halted progress in March 2021, with Anestis severely affected by COVID-19. Despite these setbacks, Ignominous found new determination in 2022, completing eight tracks that would become Dawn With No Light.
Of the album, the band says, “Ignominous is the pain in our veins, the scream in our hearts, and the shadowed path in our souls—a journey we embarked on many years ago, even before we met each other. The Dawn With No Light symbolizes our endless struggle, the bleeding of our symbols, and the long journey we have taken together. We have entered the eternal night, and in embracing the shadows, we find true life as the dawn with no light approaches.”Of the song itself, “Dawn With No Light” is the title track of our debut album, blending Scandinavian old-school black metal with epic elements, a raw sound, ferocious blast beats, and an atmosphere steeped in ancient aesthetics. The song tells the story of a man imprisoned in his own darkness, struggling to glimpse the dawn one last time before his time runs out.”
Recorded at Stone Studios and mixed and mastered at Suncord Studios, the album reflects the darkness of the period during which it was created. The first single, which is also the album’s title track, captures the raw, unfiltered sound that defines Ignominous—a blend of speed, intensity, and atmospheric bleakness. With its straightforward approach and powerful execution, it’s a strong introduction to the band’s sound and vision.
