Dawn Crosby

Dawn Crosby (born 5 April 1963 in Oxon Hill, Maryland;[1] 15 December 1996 in Los Angeles, California[2]) was the lead singer of the underground act Detente.[3]

Following her exit from Detente, Dawn Crosby together with producer Ross Robinson went on to form Fear of God, which was signed to Warner Bros. Records.

The band went on to record the Within the Veil album in 1991. The band was slotted to become a major band in the Metal music scene, even though the music was dark and dungeon-inspired. The video released from this album was "Betrayed". Following the release of this album Crosby and the band split, and she reformed the band with new members and released a heavy Pantera-esque album called Toxic Voodoo.[4]

Crosby died of liver failure from substance abuse on 15 December 1996.[5]
