Sacred Dawn burst onto the Chicago metal scene in 2005 with an innovative mix of progressive metal and old-school hard rock. The band’s unique blend of vocal harmonies delivered by frontman and lead guitarist Lothar Keller set the band apart and launched numerous live appearances across the Midwest in support of international acts such as Symphony X, Cage, Firewind, Kamelot, Epica, Loudness, and Testament just to name a few.
In 2023, after writing, recording, and performing songs from their 2019 EP, Contradiction, which included a video release of “Sympathy,” the band had more to say. Fueled by the lockdowns of the Pandemic beginning in March 2020 and for the next three years, Lothar Keller and John Vitale got together weekly to begin writing what would become their most prolific work to date.
The album and the band’s first full-length recording since 2011 is entitled Dismal Swamp and was released last September under the direction and distribution of Lothar Keller’s record label Qumran Records.
