PHANTOM is the fifth album by The Sonic Dawn, unfolding as a journey through 10 acid rock tracks that absorb the impressions of a world gone mad. Reflecting on the album s themes, singer and guitarist Emil Bureau notes, When we sing about killing machines in the sky and the 21st century blues, I think many will be able to relate. We re here to say that mankind has a future on this planet if we want one. Diverging from the band s earlier work, The Sonic Dawn embraces a more raw and heavy sound on several tracks, complementing the dark themes. Simultaneously, the band s signature melodic psychedelia weaves moments of sonic grace into the tapestry. Phantom, true to its name, oscillates between horror and reassuring beauty, akin to a fever dream where reality is clung to by a single thread. Every song, line, and solo is delivered with intention and intensity. I hope people will receive it as we intend it. That is, as real acid rock from a band with a message, states Emil Bureau. Phantom is released worldwide on LP CD digital via Heavy Psych Sounds on May 10th, 2024. Pre order your copy on https, thesonicdawn. bandcamp. com.
