Influenced by the likes of Saint Vitus, Candlemass, Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Trouble and (old) Black Sabbath, the roots of Dawn Of Winter stretch back to the very early '90s, and their dream of playing pure and honest doom metal has not waned or changed in the slightest since then. A string of demo releases and an EP eventually led to the debut album 'In The Valley Of Tears' in 1998. This long out of print album is now re-released by I Hate Records as a deluxe 2CD digipak. Disc 1 features the full-length while disc 2 consists of recordings never before released on CD including the pre-album demo tape 'In Servitude To Destiny' (1996), and the two 12" EPs, 'Slow Is The Suffering' (2001) and 'The Skull Of The Sorcerer' (2012).
