The beginning... it all started in a small town called Finspеng in Sweden around the year of 2000 when Patrik Johansson (guitar), Mats Johansson (guitar) and Torbjorn Edqvist (drums) met in school and became very good friends. The common interest for Heavy Metal and in particular Iron Maiden made them start a band. The trio hired a rehearsal room and started to practice, only Iron Maiden songs were included in the repertoire at this time. After a while the "band" got bored of playing covers, so they started to write their own songs. At this time Mats’ younger brother Pelle joined for the bass position and Patrik also started to sing, and Dawn of Silence was born!

The first demo "Eternity" was recorded in a local studio in 2002. Thereafter 4 more demos have been recorded: World of lies (2003), Follow your heart (2003), Fear of life (2004) and Lost all hope (2005). These demos have brought forth a lot of good reviews in magazines, webzines and more. Songs have been played over the radio in various of countries and Dawn of Silence have so begun to create a name, especially in their hometown with their notorious live performances. The only thing missing was a record deal to be able to spread the music world-wide. In 2006 the band got tired of waiting for a label to pick them up. Therefore they decided to go into the "Black Lounge studio" with Jonas Kjellgren (Scar Symmetry, Centinex) as producer/engineer and record their first professional full-length album in May 2006.

The recording paid off, with the same line-up since the start and heart and soul of melodic Heavy Metal, Dawn of Silence will release their long time eagerly awaited debut album. From here, the future looks really exciting.
