Upon This Dawning are an Italian band from Brescia, founded in 2006. They have released one EP and three studio albums, with their latest album We Are All Sinners released in April 2014.

History

The group was founded in Brescia, Italy in 2007. They released their debut EP, Count the Seconds Before Your Last Breath, through Slake-less Heart Records. They also published their debut album, On Your Glory We Build Our Empire, in August 2009.

Due to their rapid success and a steadily growing fan base -not only because of concerts with bands like Asking Alexandria, Underoath, Motionless in White, Blessthefall, Pierce the Veil, More Than A Thousand, Adam Kills Eve, Dance Gavin Dance, and In Fear and Faith - the American marketing company The Artery Foundation (including Chelsea Grin, Whitechapel, Woe, Is Me, Impending Doom, Breathe Carolina) was attentive and took them under contract. [2]

The group toured several times in Italy[2] (29 January 2011 to 28 May 2011: UPTHD Italian tour, March 7, 2009 to 30 May 2009: Sober Society tour) and played on other concerts with The Electric Diorama, Romantic Emily, Hope, The Burden, One Morning Left, From Dying Skies, Ms. White, Shadows Chasing Ghosts and While She Sleeps. With Adam Kills Eve, the group played their first concert outside Italy. This took place in the Swiss town of Bellinzona. [2] In 2010, Matteo Bertizzolo and Nicola Giachellich both left Upon This Dawning, and were replaced with Giani Molinari and Carlo Todeschini.

Meanwhile, toured the group in Munich, Germany with His Statue Falls.

The second album came out in Autumn 2012, and was released through Fearless Records. [3] It is called To Keep Us Safe and came out on October 23, 2012. The album included Chris Motionless, and a cover of Call Me Maybe, originally recorded by Carly Rae Jepsen. [4] The group tours increased since its Singning with Fearless Records, and were the opening act for For the Fallen Dreams, Alesana, The Color Morale and Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!. In 2013, Unclean vocalist, Giani Molinari left Upon This Dawning, along with Luca Orio, Carlo Todeschini, and Andrea Moserle. Giani was replaced by Dani Nelli, and Luca was replaced by Gabriele Magrini, who was then replaced by Chris Deets in 2014.

Between 22 November 2013 and 11 December 2013, the group toured together with Shoot the Girl First as the opening act for The Browning throughout Europe. They toured throughout the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Austria and Hungary. [5] On February 11, 2014, Upon This Dawning stated that they had left Fearless Records and instead, signed to Artery Recordings. The band announced their second studio album, We Are All Sinners, and was released on April 29, 2014. [6] We Are All Sinners had more influences of doom metal, death metal, and black metal, featuring tremolo picking, harmonic key writing, and themes of sin and hell.
