German metallers Dawn Of Disease confidently follow the beloved pathway of melodic death metal on the latest full length “Procession of Ghosts” skillfully blending the perfect dosage of opulent harmonies and fierce darkened grooves. 

Since the beginning, the title track unleashes all the key elements of melodic death metal with the somber tonalities of the crispy melodic licks and the absolute fury of the galloping rhythmic patterns accompanied by intense hellish growls and enriched by epic atmospheric accents. 

On “May The Waves Take Me” the increasingly dramatic depth influences the memorable melodic guitar progressions and the sorrowful atmosphere while the relentless rhythmic section meticulously creates impactful grooves. 

“Shrine” revolves around bold guitar driven grooves channeling a full blown primal death metal force yet through the fast hostile segments melodic guitars evoke grave feelings with sophisticated harmonies. 

On “Where The Clouds Reach The Ground” luminous guitar melodies and understated atmospheric arrangements become essential amplifying the melancholic grandeur but there is also a solid mix of faster catchy moments and darker nuances. 

It would be impossible to resist the immense melancholia of “Autumn Days” and once again the elaborate guitar work shines for the enthralling melodic phrases which steal the spotlight even if there are enough scattered powerful death metal style grooves to trigger a moshpit. 

“Hypnosis” continues to maintain a grand gloomy melodic essence with loads of tasteful guitar progressions and dazzling darkened soloing in contrast with the savage death metal force fully expressed by the aggressive riffage & drumming as well as the cavernous growls. 

Undoubtedly melodic death metal has become a favorite sub-genre and staying true to such thriving sonic formula on “Procession Of Ghosts” Dawn Of Disease successfully and passionately balance elegant melancholic melodies and furious rhythmic blasts.
