EMBERS OF DAWN explore themes of inner conflict, damnation, and the search for identity in the new single release, “Infernal”. This offering features guest musician Adrian Erlandsson (AT THE GATES, CRADLE OF FILTH, PARADISE LOST, THE HAUNTED) on drums. Alongside the track, EMBERS OF DAWN have launched the pre-order for their forthcoming full length album Infernal Culture, scheduled to arrive on September 18, 2026.
On the single’s narrative guitarist Cliff Ross shares, “Its essentially about a young woman who is discontent with life (boredom, depression, etc.) and prays for some type of spiritual companionship to make her feel more ‘fulfilled’ in some way. As she puts out this ‘open call’ for spiritual companionship a demon jumps on the opportunity and possesses her. Things decline from there.”
Infernal Culture‘s core themes of powerlessness and a sense of loss are revealed in “Infernal”. Situated firmly in industrial metal, characteristics from ROB ZOMBIE, MINISTRY and STATIC-X are prevalent across the track. The key components of “Infernal” are “evil disco” beats, heavy, and layered guitars that manifest a dark, forceful mood. The result is a fiery and intense fusion of industrial metal and electronic music.

About EMBERS OF DAWN:
Formed in 2022, EMBERS OF DAWN is a genre-defying metal project born out of Jacksonville, Florida and Santa Barbara, California. The band blends elements of industrial, gothic, melodic death metal, and cyber-metal to create a sound that is both cinematic and punishing. Known for their thematic focus on alienation, modern decay, and emotional detachment, EMBERS OF DAWN delivers music that is as introspective as it is aggressive.
The band’s music features cold, mechanical precision layered with dark melodic textures, drawing influence from acts like PAIN, DARK TRANQUILLITY, MINISTRY, FEAR FACTORY, RAMMSTEIN, STATIC-X, ROB ZOMBIE, ARCH ENEMY, and TYPE O NEGATIVE. With each release, they continue to explore new sonic territory, balancing technicality with atmosphere, brutality with beauty.
Their upcoming debut album Infernal Culture features drums by ADRIAN ERLANDSSON (AT THE GATES, CRADLE OF FILTH, PARADISE LOST, THE HAUNTED), adding an explosive edge to their already dynamic sound.
EMBERS OF DAWN is:
- Graves- vocals
- Cliff Ross – guitars, programming
- Scott Van Horn – bass, programming
- Grover Norton – drums
