Dawn Ray’d release new music video for ‘The Battle Of Sudden Flame’

DAWN RAY’D have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Battle Of Sudden Flame, is taken from the UK black metal band’s upcoming new album, To Know The Light, which is scheduled to be released in March this year. The new music video was directed by JG Visuals.

Speaking about the new single, the band says, “the lyrics to this song feel very relevant to what we have seen the police do in 2023, but has there ever been a year when that wouldn’t be the case? One of the ways working people have been able to tell the stories of their lives is through folk music; documenting labour struggles, the lives of revolutionaries, and all the abuses those in power commit against us. There is no break between the past and the present, this is a true story told in the best way we know how. Folk music isn’t a synonym for ‘accoustic’ or ‘twee’, it is the music of our real lives, we the folk down here struggling.

It isn’t controversial to hate an institution that brutalises women, torments the poor, murders people of colour with impunity, covers for the abusive rich and crushes dissent. We don’t have to justify our opposition to the police, that is the burden of those who choose to support them.”

To Know The Light is set for release on March 24th via Prosthetic Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here. The band will be touring the UK in February/March this year, check out the tour dates here!
