Nashville? Yes. Country music? Not even close. Pure, powerful, and undeniably metallic, DARK HOUND have upped the ante with forthcoming album Dawning, which will be released January 19, 2018. New single "The Ashes of Your Worth" is now streaming at:

Following in the sizable footsteps of their 2014 self-titled debut and 2015 EP Oceans, Tennessee's resident Heavy Metal torchbearers have pulled out all the stops with Dawning. Eschewing genre-blending pablum and trend-hopping futility, the new album finds DARK HOUND proudly display influences from the likes of MEGADETH, IRON MAIDEN, and TESTAMENT without falling victim to uninspired mimicry. Rather, Dawning lands repeated punches to the cranium and leaves memorable marks with its compelling compositions in a way that is familiar, yet refreshing and even unique. Put simply, this is well-written, muscular U.S. Metal in all its fiery glory!
"Like Megadeth? Like King Diamond? Like music that is just pure metal with no unnecessary bull? If you answered yes to all of these questions then you are sure to like Dark Hound."
