Liverpool-based black metal trio, DAWN RAY'D, have today announced a short run of European tour dates. The band released their latest album, Behold Sedition Plainsong, in October via Prosthetic Records - it's available to purchase here.

The band comment:
"After a couple of months off, we are eager to continue touring in support of Behold Sedition Plainsong, back on the road, back in the squats and social centres and back distributing anarchist propaganda. We will have new merch, a big box of records and a surprise planned for this tour too. See you at a show!"

The follow up to 2017's The Unlawful Assembly, Behold Sedition Plainsong is a call to arms and a potential catalyst for positive radical change. The album garnered widespread critical acclaim, with Metal Hammer calling it their "most dynamic, powerful and effective release to date," and Kerrang saying "In sound and fury, Dawn Ray'd simultaneously exemplify and challenge black metal rebellion."

Opening the album with evocative album intro, Raise The Flails, its rallying cry -'It's time for new tales of resistance' - sets the tone of the rest of the album. Behold Sedition Plainsong comprises of 11 tracks of what will surely become their trademark sound: pure black metal, shot through with sonic flecks of traditional folk. Each song is an emotional response to a political struggle, with a clear focus on ecological destruction and anti-capitalism.
