Dawn Ray'd is a black metal band hailing from the United Kingdom, known for their unique blend of extreme music with an anarchist, anti-fascist message. The band was formed in 2015, bursting onto the scene with their compelling blend of searing riffs and politically charged lyricism. They quickly carved out a niche for themselves within the black metal community for their unapologetic promotion of social justice themes, a stark contrast to the genre's more controversial elements.

Their debut EP, "A Thorn, A Blight," was released in 2015, showcasing the band's raw energy and commitment to delivering incisive socio-political commentary wrapped in a shroud of melodic yet aggressive black metal. Dawn Ray'd further refined their sound and message with their first full-length album, "The Unlawful Assembly," in 2017, which garnered attention for its bold statements and refined musicianship. With subsequent releases like "Behold Sedition Plainsong" and "To All, To All, To All!" the band continued to push the boundaries of the genre, integrating elements of folk and atmospheric black metal while reinforcing their revolutionary ethos. As of their latest releases such as "Wild Fire" and "To Know the Light," Dawn Ray'd has solidified their status as torchbearers for a brand of metal that is as ideologically potent as it is musically compelling.
