After two demo tapes and some local shows, they recorded a mini-CD called "Oceans Of Time" in 1995. In addition to that Dark At Dawn played the famous Wacken Open Air for the first time and supported Saxon in a couple of shows. "Oceans Of Time" was sold very well at concerts. Various radio stations in northern Germany picked up the band and added the songs to their airplay lists. In 1998 the band shopped around some new songs and demos to find a record company for the first full-length album "Baneful Skies" and finally inked a deal with Iron Glory Records. The debut album was recorded by Oliver Philipps and Christian Moos in the Spacelab studios and was released in late 1999.
In November 2000 Dark At Dawn recorded the second album "Crimson Frost" in the Stage-One-studio with Andy Classen. Dissatisfaction with their label was the reason to make only one more record with Iron Glory Records. This record was produced and mixed in the band's own MetalSound-studio.
"Of Decay And Desire" is the CD released in 2003. It was recorded in the MetalSound-studio, mixed by Andy Classen and was mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki. AFM also decided to create a new band logo to underline the growing professionalism of the band.
The self-titled album of Dark At Dawn has come with another portion of their talent. Again released by AFM Records the album sounds promising enough to be called 'the next masterpiece of the band'.
They gave their last concert at Harz Rock Open Air on 07.07.2007 and disbanded afterwards.
Dark at Dawn reformed in 2012 and released a new EP "Noneternal" in October 2012.
Luna
Dark At Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To enlighten his way from dusk 'til dawn
The Goddes of all stars
Dressed in her cold black dress
Her rays of light - alike a rose's thorn
Melting her eyes with fire and heat
Goddes of the dark, please shine on me
Let my eyes touch and let them see
What the night can reveal
Still I adore you a lot, from above
Mistress of darkness divine
Whispers "carpe noctem" with a heavenly shine
To see her in a way she is not
...is to love
In Dark at Dawn's song Luna, the lyrics describe a beautifully poetic and mythical image of the moon goddess. The song seems to be praising the goddess of the night and her power to bring light to the darkness. The first verse begins by describing the moon as a "silver sun" that shines bright at night, serving as a guide from dusk till dawn. The moon is personified as a "Goddes of all stars" dressed in a "cold black dress," which paints a haunting yet mesmerizing image.
The second verse describes the power of the moon's rays and how they can both mesmerize and reveal hidden secrets within the night. The lyrics state that the goddess of the dark should "shine on me" so that the singer's eyes can see what the night has to offer. Despite the darkness, the singer seems to feel a strong connection to the moon goddess, and this is reflected in the chorus as they pledge their devotion to her. The final line of the song is particularly powerful, as it suggests that to know the moon goddess in her true form is to love her.
Overall, the lyrics to Luna create a beautiful and evocative picture of the moon goddess and her power to illuminate the darkness.
