New Dawn Fades promo

New Dawn Fades is a heavy rock band from Philadelphia, blending doom, grunge, and metal influences from bands like Soundgarden, Corrosion of Conformity, Down, Black Sabbath, High on Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, and Mercyful Fate. The band features vocalist and guitarist GFA (Ritual Earth, Halo of Snakes), guitarist Corey Pettingill (Blackhand), bassist Algar (Green Meteor), and drummer Steve Roche (Saetia, Off Minor). Together, they deliver music that’s both heavy and dynamic, combining crushing riffs, strong grooves, raw energy, and melodic vocals with memorable hooks.

Their upcoming album, LORES, set for release in March 2026, is a focused collection of eight tracks that showcase the band at their most commanding. “Villains Come to Light” is an explosive opening track, featuring thrash-tinged riffs and relentless momentum, paired with lyrics that confront hidden threats and the challenge of facing betrayal head on. “Meet Me at Sundown” follows with swinging, driving rhythms and layered guitars, while the lyrics explore confrontation and resilience. “True Till Death” leans on heavy grooves and swagger, paired with lyrics about loyalty, defiance, and unwavering commitment. “Souls” is a bit more fuzzed-out and bass heavy, with hypnotic riffs underscoring lyrics that grapple with loss, personal damage, and inner struggle.

“Dead Vultures” is more upbeat and goes straight for the throat, featuring aggressive riffs and tribal drumming, while its lyrics focus on plotted revenge and darker instincts, giving the track an intense, confrontational edge. “Leave My Loneliness Unbroken” is more dynamic musically and introspective lyrically, featuring somber, reflective grooves and lyrics about isolation, and emotional weight. “This Night” blends 80s metal riffage with 90s grunge, creating a layered, tension filled sound that complements lyrics about emotional breaking points and catharsis. The album closes with “New Evil”, pairing ferocious riffs and hypnotic drive with lyrics confronting internal darkness, transformation, and the human spirit.

Across LORES, New Dawn Fades balances musical intensity with meaningful, thematic lyrics, creating a record that hits hard sonically while resonating emotionally. The album will be available on most major streaming platforms and as a 12-inch colored vinyl, with singles and live show announcements leading up to its release. The band also contributed a new track titled “Electric Midnight” to the BE HERE vinyl compilation, a DIY release featuring 12 bands from the Philadelphia and New Jersey area, due out in summer 2026. In March, New Dawn Fades returns to the studio to record four new songs for a future chapter of the best-selling Ripple Music Turned to Stone12" split series, promising even more heavy, hard-hitting music in the near future.

Pre-orders for the LORES vinylare up now, and the band recently appeared on Rich & Turbo's Heavy Half Hourpodcast with Rich Piva of the Doom Charts, for an interview about the new album, the Philly heavy music scene, influences, and more.
