Sydney quartet Fifth Dawn are set to bring their explosive brand of melodic metal across Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne for their ‘Closer’ February 2024 East Coast tour. Featuring exhilarating fretwork, vibrant synths, cinematic orchestral arrangements, and a groove-oriented rhythm section bolstering Sam Faul’s powerhouse vocals, the group delivers infectious melodies akin to Evanescence and Flyleaf.
The Everblack Podcast spoke to Sam Faul of Fifth Dawn to talk about their latest single ‘The Day Brings’, upcoming Australian Tour with Aurateque, new album on the way and her love and respect for Jimmy Eat World.
