ABYSMAL DAWN: New Song Available For Streaming

December 28, 2010

"In Service Of Time", a brand new song from Los Angeles, California's ABYSMAL DAWN, can be streamed on the band's MySpace page. The track comes off the group's new album, "Leveling The Plane Of Existence", which will be released in North America on February 1 via Relapse Records (February 7 in the U.K.; February 11 in Germany, Benelux; and February 14 in the rest of Europe).

Commented guitarist/vocalist Charles Elliott: "Lyrically, the song is about trying not to repeat your same mistakes, and trying to find purpose in life in the time that you're given.

"When I was writing the lyrics, I was very inspired by the infectious mechanized rhythm of the song. I could visualize the gears of clocks ticking away and it got me thinking about my own mortality.

"I'm really proud of this song and the fact that it was the first collaborative effort between myself, Mike and Scott.

"This new record is definitely our best and we can't wait for everyone to hear it!"

The drums for the follow-up 2008's "Programmed To Consume" were recorded at Trench Studios in Corona, California with John Haddad (PHOBIA, INTRONAUT, HIRAX),with the rest of the instrumentation being produced and recorded by Mike Bear (ARTISAN, ex-PROTOTYPE) at Artisan Road Studios in Encino, California. The CD is being mixed and mastered by Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, GOATWHORE, HATE ETERNAL) at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida.
