Alaska Dawn - NEW SONGS!

geweun ramme!

About Me


The beginning of 2005. Bent (guitars) and Brent (drums) started jamming together. Influenced by heavy instrumental bands, they began their project, "Scrivener's Palsy". In summer Boris (first guitars but later on switched to bass) came to jam with them and it felt just right. They formed a new pact. Alaska Dawn was born. Only a week or so later Koray joined the band (bringing the sound to a new level, by filling the gaps with his keyboard and soundscapes). By keeping it instrumental but with influences like Isis, Red Sparowes and Godspeed you! black emperor, Alaska Dawn grew out to be not just a project but a real band.
Our first demo is released on 11/08/07' You'll get a well-groomed package which contains an envelope, a red or a green one, printed on both sides. Inside, there's a cloth, stamped with "Alaska Dawn". Also you will find a painted sleeve, containing the demo and a letter with all the information you need! These CDs are available on each Alaska Dawn show...
Thanks for being a part of this.
