Dawn Treader - Post Mortem
Missing in action is usually a good way to put most of my hiatus' from the internet, which is usually between bickering with people on the left on the internet, bong rips, and downloading more music than I could listen to. So due to this drop off, I'm going to come in strong from the hiatus with some new reviews of classics and such throughout today. Starting with a very under appreciated band from my area, Dawn Treader. Dawn Treader during high school for me was the screamo super group that ripped through the shows they would play with velocity of most grimy punk bands in a basement, but with the musical structure I was not used to. Comprising of members of Monument, The Summer We Went West, Pansori, and others, this group packed an immense punch in the Maryland scene since 2001. This band combines the fast waves of noise blasting over you to the serene quite moments of articulated piano parts and quite noodly bits. Unfortunately this band is mainly inactive these days, where even I thought they where pretty much done with up until the snowstorm of 2010 where I saw this album pop up around the internets. Album rips, messy recording though. Definitely check out if you are from the DMV area to get a good history listen of some of the skramz sound before 2009.
