Lores is the debut full-length album for Pennsylvanian stoner/doomers NEW DAWN FADES and is their first release as a quartet. Instrumentally, this album vacillates among murky grunge, the weighty trudge of doom, a heavy metal crunch, fuzzy stoner, and a bluesy groove. This is topped with soaring, clean vocals that have a way of making the band’s catchy hooks even more infectious. Even with all of these stylistic influences at play, I was pleasantly surprised at just how smooth the album’s flow is, quickly finding myself lost in a hypnotic ride that’s as steady as it is dynamic. Whether your musical preferences land closer to metal or more on the grunge/alternative side of the spectrum, it’s hard to deny that with Lores, NEW DAWN FADES has given us the perfect heavy groove for summer.
~ Stephanie Zalta (DoomCakes, Screaming From The Heavy Underground)

"... for an act on such solid footing stylistically and who so clearly have that early-to-mid-1990s era of heavy music so ingrained, the songs on Lores seem to herald a revelry that’s not retro but that knows where it’s coming from and where it’s headed. Given the strength of craft throughout, the listener is all the more inclined to trust and follow along, and for establishing the band thusly in the mind of its audience, it’s hard to see the mission of Lores as anything but successful."

The new album Lores comes out on March 25th! But today, right here, right now, we are truly honored to present to you the new single of said album. It’s called Leave My Loneliness Unbroken and it’s all you could ever wish to hear from the amazing four-piece from Philadelphia  called New Dawn Fades! 

On any given night in Philly, the walls start to shake before you even see the band. This hard-hitting quartet storms the stage like they’ve got something to prove, pouring out a thick brew of stoner grit, bluesy muscle, grunge snarl, and swirling psych haze. The riffs land heavy and satisfying, the grooves roll in deep, and the hooks stick like your favorite dive-bar jukebox anthem. You might hear echoes from some of your favorite bands, but the fire is all their own. And it’s big! The entire Lores album barrels from start to finish, tight, thunderous and leaving you begging for more! Leave My Loneliness Unbroken is therefore the perfect second calling card for all that New Dawn Fades energy, for it slows it all a bit down, instills a touch of doom and scours through their grunge roots even more. Showing you that the band can do it all! New Dawn Fades is loud, defiant, and bleeding honesty! Better not leave this single alone! Break it down like New Dawn Fades does!
