Sydney quartet Fifth Dawn are set to bring their explosive brand of melodic metal across Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne for their ‘Closer’ February 2024 East Coast tour. Featuring exhilarating fretwork, vibrant synths, cinematic orchestral arrangements, and a groove-oriented rhythm section bolstering Sam Faul’s powerhouse vocals, the group delivers infectious melodies akin to Evanescence and Flyleaf.
Renowned for their introspective and emotionally charged compositions, Fifth Dawn have continued to captivate audiences globally since the release of their debut album ‘Duality’ (2018). The band’s resurgent popularity is undeniable, as evidenced by their recent single launch at the Oxford Art Factory, Sydney and their appearance at Thrashville Festival alongside Australian veterans COG and Mammal. Additionally, Fifth Dawn‘s music has found its place in editorial playlists on major streaming platforms such as Spotify with over 11 million+ streams, Apple Music, Amazon, and AWA.
Their latest offering ‘The Day Brings’ has been featured on Spotify’s All New Metal, Apple Music’s, The Riff, Breaking Hard Rock, New Music Daily, and Deezer’s Metal Radar, Heavy League, Metalcore editorial playlists and more. Gearing up to unleash their high energy performances with drop tuned riffs rooted in heavy metal, evocative vocals and chant along choruses, Fifth Dawn’s upcoming shows are not to be missed.
“We’re all so excited for this tour” says Faul, “With an inspiring lineup, and our new songs to showcase to our home and interstate fans, I’ve no doubt these shows will be magical.”
Qona Creative on the upcoming tour: “Australia is bursting with diverse talent on the local level. We’re passionate about fostering not only diversity but great music in a safe environment that is personally and professionally important for these bands’ performances.”
Accompanying Fifth Dawn are Sydney nu-punk outfit Aurateque.
