To answer everyones questions regarding what Dawn of Ashes is moving towards. Please find all answers listed below.
Q: Is Dawn of Ashes going fully Metal and less away from the Industrial scene?
A: For all hardcore Industrial fans, unfortunately the band is moving more towards the Metal market and less away from the Industrial market. The music is still going to be 100% horror based, discussing the same topics that they always have. Their image is going to be even more graphic then before. So, even though the music is going to be different, it is still going to be Dawn of Ashes. Just way more violent and brutal.
Q: Is Dawn of Ashes still going to perform their older material?
A: Yes, the band still plans to perform all older materal, just with guitars and drums.

Q: Is Dawn of Ashes going to be signed to their current record labels?
A: Unfortunately, we can not disclose this information.
Q: Why are you going Metal, we like the older sound more?
A: Unfortunately, The band has always been more into Metal. There is a way bigger market in the Metal scene, than the Industrial scene. The band always looks at what benefits their career and what direction is going to further their career. The Industrial scene isn't doing much for them and the record labels only provide minimum support for their bands. Thousands and thousands of fans contact Dawn of Ashes daily asking about future tours. Well, if there is no financial support than there is no tour. They are tired of making dance music and feel they have way more talent on the table to show their fans. One factor that the band always needs is brutality and Metal has always been more brutal than electronic music. Industrial concerts are tame compared to Metal events. Basically, there is more to offer for Dawn of Ashes with this new direction instead of hoping that the Industrial scene would get bigger.
Q: Is Dawn of Ashes going to sound like this band**insert band here**?

A: Well, Unfortunately the band doesn't hate Metal.
Q: Why are you keeping the name "Dawn of Ashes", if you are changing your sound?

Q: Is K. Bathory going to use effects to alter his voice on the album and live?
A. Absolutely not. K. Bathory in the past, before Dawn of Ashes was a vocalist for many Death Metal, Black Metal and Hardcore acts.

He decided it's not necessary to use effects when you have talent as a singer.
