New Dawn Fades is a heavy rock band from Philadelphia, blending doom, grunge, and metal influences from bands like Soundgarden, Corrosion of Conformity, Down, Black Sabbath, High on Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, and Mercyful Fate. The band features vocalist and guitarist GFA (Ritual Earth, Halo of Snakes), guitarist Corey Pettingill (Blackhand), bassist Algar (Green Meteor), and drummer Steve Roche (Saetia, Off Minor). Together, they deliver music that’s both heavy and dynamic, combining crushing riffs, strong grooves, raw energy, and melodic vocals with memorable hooks.
Their upcoming album, LORES, set for release in March 2026, is a focused collection of eight tracks that showcase the band at their most commanding. “Villains Come to Light” is an explosive opening track, featuring thrash-tinged riffs and relentless momentum, paired with lyrics that confront hidden threats and the challenge of facing betrayal head on. “Meet Me at Sundown” follows with swinging, driving rhythms and layered guitars, while the lyrics explore confrontation and resilience. “True Till Death” leans on heavy grooves and swagger, paired with lyrics about loyalty, defiance, and unwavering commitment. “Souls” is a bit more fuzzed-out and bass heavy, with hypnotic riffs underscoring lyrics that grapple with loss, personal damage, and inner struggle.
