Abysmal Dawn: 'Leveling the Plane of Existence'

Los Angeles, CA's Abysmal Dawn have announced the title of their forthcoming album as 'Leveling the Plane of Existence'. The new album, the follow-up 2008's 'Programmed to Consume', has been set for a February 1st North American release date (February 7th – UK, February 11th – Germany, Benelux, February 14th – rest of EU), through Relapse Records.

Abysmal Dawn began recording 'Leveling the Plane of Existence' in May 2010. The drums were recorded at Trench Studios in Corona, CA 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, CA. Leveling The Plane of Existence is being mixed and mastered by Erik Rutan (Cannibal Corpse, Goatwhore, Hate Eternal) at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, FL.

Abysmal Dawn guitarist/vocalist Charles Elliott recently commented on the album; "After a series of set backs, illness, and going through a world of shit in our personal lives, we had no choice but to make this record our revenge and the defining moment for Abysmal Dawn. We've had the finished mixes for about a week now and everyone that has heard it has been just blown away. We can already tell that this will be the record that the band will become known for. It's a very varied, extreme, technical, and melodic record and I can promise you that no one will be disappointed."
