The … Read Full Bio ↴Dawn of Disease was a Death Metal band from Osnabrück, Germany.
The band was originally founded in 2003. One year later they released the MCD “Through Bloodstained Eyes”, which was sold out within a short time. Despite several performances with popular bands, 2007 marked the end of the band. After numerous line-up problems Dawn of Disease finally dissolved. But the resurrection with a new line-up didn't take a long time...
In spring 2009 co-founder and singer Tomasz decided to bring Dawn of Disease back into being with a nearly completely new line-up. Beside drummer Mathias, who had already been a member of the last known line-up, Lukas (guitars) and Olli (guitars) joined the band. A little later bass player Michael completed Dawn of Disease shortly before the recording of the first 4-track-promo in November 2009.
In June 2010 the band recorded their first full-length album “Legends of Brutality” together with Jörg Uken at Soundlodge Studio (God Dethroned, Dew-Scented, Sinister...). About a half year later a record-deal with NoiseArt Records and a booking-contract with Rock the Nation was signed.
Swedish Death Metal is a huge influence on the quintet. In their songs a big number of typical swedish elements can be found, but Dawn of Disease are able to add an own style beyond these bounds. Their sound is determined by hardness and melody, subliminal harmonies and killer riffs are accompanied by rapid blastbeats and pounding doublebasses. The vocals, that are between dark growlings, aggressive screams and in-your-face shoutings complete the songs.
Dawn of Disease disbanded in 2020, following the departure of singer Tomasz Wisniewski who began to fully focus on Nyktophobia. The rest of Dawn of Disease bandmates then teamed up with singer Britta Görtz (ex-Critical Mess, ex-Cripper) under the name Hiraes.

Shrine
Dawn of Disease Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unbeknownst is the secret that they keep
Invisible revelation of all holiness
Cast thy spell to give them order
Open the shrine
The offering transcends everything
Which thy material creation ever spawned
Temple of the ancient knowledge
Thy secret inconceivable for the ignorant
Open the shrine
The key to your mind
Cast thy spell to give us order!
Open the shrine
Ancient is the knowledge that we bear
Unbeknownst is the secret that we keep
Thy holiness shall revelate itself to us
Our sacrifice materializes thou
sands of years
The lyrics of Dawn of Disease's song Shrine seem to be referring to a secret knowledge or wisdom that is ancient and powerful. The first two lines suggest that this knowledge is possessed by some mysterious group of people, who guard its secret closely. The next two lines speak to the power of this knowledge, implying that it is a divine revelation that can bring order to chaos. The repeated refrain of "Open the shrine" seems to be an appeal to the secret keepers to reveal their knowledge and let it be shared with the world.
The offering mentioned in the third verse is likely a sacrifice made to the secret keepers in exchange for access to their knowledge. The temple mentioned is likely the location where the secret knowledge is housed, and the "key to your mind" mentioned in the last verse suggests that the knowledge itself unlocks some kind of mental or spiritual power. The final line, "Our sacrifice materializes thou sands of years," implies that the offering made to the secret keepers is so great that it has the power to manifest something that has not existed for thousands of years.
Overall, the lyrics of Shrine paint a picture of a powerful and ancient secret wisdom that has the power to bring order to chaos and unlock great mental and spiritual power. The repeated refrain of "Open the shrine" suggests a desire to gain access to this knowledge and experience its transformative power.

German death metal for the morning. I like the melodic, classical elements fused with the blast beats. Hails from the USA.
@vadomarmeddugnatoswidukind
The "singer" (growler) is Polish I suppose, judging from his name.
