The Greek Black Metal scene continues to impress with new releases and additions that maintain its dark and atmospheric character. One of the new names emerging on this scene is IGNOMINOUS from Thessaloniki city, releasing their first single, “Dawn With No Light”, a precursor to their self-titled debut album due for release on October 4, 2024.

The self-titled single, released on September 4, 2024, gave a first taste of the sound that IGNOMINOUS would follow. “Dawn With No Light”, influenced by Norwegian Black Metal bands, combines the dark energy and aggressive riffs of traditional Black Metal with atmospheric elements.

IGNOMINOUS was formed in 2020 and consists of a trio of experienced musicians: bassist Anestis Nekhromancer (TERRORDROME, TWILIGHT, OBSCENE, MEDIEVAL), guitarist and vocalist Chris (ex-REGENT) and drummer Billy Vongaar (TERRORDROME, TWILIGHT, DISEMBOWEL, YOTH IRIA, HEAD CLEANER).

The band comments:

“IGNOMINOUS is the pain in our veins, the scream in our hearts, and the shadowed path in our souls—a journey we embarked on many years ago, even before we met each other. The dawn with no light symbolizes our endless struggle, the bleeding of our symbols, and the long journey we have taken together. We have entered the eternal night, and in embracing the shadows, we find true life as the dawn with no light approaches.”

The band drew inspiration from the isolation and dark times brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, capturing the anguish, anger and melancholy that marked the era. Recording of the album began on February 20, 2023 at Stone Studios, and final mixing and mastering was completed at Suncord Studios in October 2023.
