1). Golden Dawn is an Austrian melodic black metal band from Salzburg, Austria, formed in 1992 by Stefan Traunmüller. His main intention was to make the band a one-man band but, due to his unanticipated goal to achieve an experimental sound he progressed into the use of more members. The early work was more evident of Black/Doom style.
The overall sound generally portrays a highly Melodic style of Black Metal and includes Gothic-like pianos however, they will generally strive towards a more Experimental sound and merge a few styles to create an very versatile yet, sticks to the roots of a Melodic Black Metal sound.
Although, Traunmüller's ideas moved along the way, lyrically most of his primary thoughts come from themes such as Fantasies, Sorcery and Mankind. It is apparent that Stefan has done some of his work based off of his own personal experiences through dreams.
Golden Dawn started off with a demo entitled "Lullaby" in 1994. And it was a more Doom Metal oriented album and it isn't remotely as similar as his main plans for Golden Dawn however, one thing that really did stand out from this demo to today is the keyboards, which was a "trademark" of Golden Dawn. The demo has four songs and was self released.
Traunmüller was working on another project of his own but, still tried to keep in touch with his main stuff on Golden Dawn. This caused the twist of fate with Traunmüller cunningly bringing together his Ambient side-project Apeiron with Golden Dawn in a split album. Some of the songs had a huge gap from the previous year of 1994 in summer to Apeiron and back again into Golden Dawn in spring. It was released in 1995 and Impure Creation Records actually got a hold of it. The first seven tracks are from Golden Dawn.
Now that Golden Dawn was more noticeable from Traunmüller's recent sign to Impure Creation Records, two new members immediately joined the band - going by the name of; Raymond Wells on vocals and Martin Schirenc as a session member. Their first tasks were fulfilled through a compilation album called "A.B.M.S." (Austrian Black Metal Syndicate) which features all of the great Austrian Black Metal bands merged into a compilation on a retired label called Dark Matters Records. It was recorded on September of 1995 and was released in the same month.
Golden Dawn's recognition for contributing to the two tracks of A.B.M.S. was furthered by them self-promoting it of their own little demo called "Way of the Sorcerer", which too was one of the songs from the compilation. This was done right at the end of September, immediately after they received their songs. It is possible that two extra tracks were thrown in the demo but, that's unsaid of. Eventually A.B.M.S. was re-issued as "Norici Obscura Pars".
Golden Dawn may have started to really get a lot done in the previous amount of time but, Traunmüller had a period after Way of the Sorcerer where he had "musicians block". He simply could not top what he had thought of before. So, his only hope was to create new demos. A Rehearsal was self-released in 1996 and Golden Dawn was now back on their feet.
In 1996 Golden Dawn released their first full-length album entitled "The Art of Dreaming" but, now a new addition had Stefan Traunmüller' on vocals, keyboards and guitar. Ngol-Jeddar on drums. Draug on rhythm guitar. Ann Ferrier on female vocals. Pazuzu on lead vocals. Bachbakuala-Nuksiwaî on backup vocals. This was also released on Dark Matter Records and they used the same studio they did for their songs on the A.B.M.S. compilation and it was actually produced by the session member; Martin Schirenc. The album received results as an essential for achieving Melodic Black Metal and Napalm Records even re-released the album in 2003. The only major difference was the album cover art. The success of Draug aka Thomas Tannenberger even lead to his formation of Abigor.
Again, Golden Dawn takes a rest from music for a while and in 1997 releases a demo mostly featuring keyboard interludes and it was a very unknown demo. It could even possibly be called a rehearsal. And in 1999 they released another unknown demo featuring six tracks and it was called "Sublimity".
After Golden Dawn's small attempts to provide as much music to the fans as possible they bring in a brand new album called "A Solemn Day" in 2000 - shortly after their demos. This album is mainly about Viking history and mythology. It has eight songs and it is approximately an hour in length.
Golden Dawn's most recent work is off the album "Masquerade" from 2003 however, early 2001, Traunmüller brought two guitarists in and signed with Ars Metalli. But while Masquerade while it was was being recorded but, they left that and had to self release it but, eventually got a deal with Napalm Records. The album has Moritz Neuner on drums along with well several unknown session singers. This album is their most Experimental album but, maintains the characteristics of Golden Dawn. They leave us off with an esoteric Experimental sound for ages to come.
2). Golden Dawn was an Irish progressive folk band that released the single "Ar Bhruach Loch Léin" in 1974.
Evolution
Golden Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stop doubting everything I have to say today
Everything is changing everyday
Listen to the sounds of evolution
As you go into a place where nothing's old
Where you can relax a while and see
That everything relates if you believe
When you see beyond the times
The crashing silence still remains
Helping you to venture through the planes
Listen to the sounds of evolution
As you go into a place where nothing's old
Where you can relax a while and see
That everything relates if you believe
Drifting on, you're satisfied
That you don't have to run and hide
What's inside you cannot be denied
Listen to the sounds of evolution
As you go into a place where nothing's old
Where you can relax a while and see
That everything relates if you believe
The lyrics of Golden Dawn's song Evolution speak about embracing change and the evolution of oneself. The song invites the listener to join the singer on a journey of self-discovery and exploration. The opening line "Please come to me" could be interpreted as an invitation for the listener to open themselves up and to come on this journey with the singer.
The lines "Stop doubting everything I have to say today" and "Everything is changing everyday" suggest that the singer may have faced resistance or resistance from others when it comes to their belief in personal evolution. The chorus, "listen to the sounds of evolution", is a call to the listener to open their ears and their minds to the changes happening around them. The phrase "where nothing's old" is a reminder that change is constant and necessary for growth.
The ending of the song encourages the listener to accept and embrace their true selves. The final lines "What's inside you cannot be denied" reinforce the idea that personal evolution is often an internal process and that acknowledging and accepting one's inner self is a crucial part of the journey.

This one's definitely " in a place where nothing's old " ! Amen to them and their message. Saw them in Portland in 2005, still going at it. Amazing how much that singer sounded like Roky Erickson!
