Dawn of Relic


Dawn of Relic is a Finnish black metal band.

Biography

The band was formed by Jukka Juntunen in 1993 in Oulu, Finland. They released their first full-length album, One Night in Carcosa, in 1999, on Wicked World Records. This album had two session vocalists on it; Nazgul and Mika Tönning.
The next album, Lovecraftian Dark, was not released until 2003 by their new record company Season of Mist. "Lovecraftian" in the title refers to the horror writer H. P. Lovecraft whose writing influenced the subject matter of many of their songs. This influence is also present on One Night in Carcosa.
Their latest release was in 2005 with Night on Earth. Vocals on this album were performed by Kai "K.J. Khaos" Jaakkola.
The drummer, Jukka Juntunen, wrote most of the songs and all of the lyrics for Dawn of Relic.

Present

The band did not perform after November 2005 because of line-up problems. The headman Jukka Juntunen concentrated on his other band, Valucian, which consists of some of the old members of Dawn of Relic.
The band became active again in 2009 to performa at the Jalometalli festival that summer. The new line-up included Rami Keränen, Sampo Heikkinen and Ville Lind.
