Dawn of Ashes is an melodic black metal band with horror based lyrical themes. They first began in 2001 in the genres of Harsh EBM/Aggrotech, and in 2005 released a demo album Sacred Fever. Soon after its release they were signed to NoiTekk and then to COP International and Russia's Gravitator Records. Since then, they have made two full length albums, In the Acts of Violence and The Crypt Injection. They have also made a music video for their song "Torture Device", the first single from The Crypt Injection, and for their song "Transformation Within Fictional Mutation" off their new album Genocide Chapters.

In May 2009, the band released a blog stating that they are moving more into the metal scene and away from the industrial scene. The band are currently recording their third album, tentatively titled Genocide Chapters, with the song "Harvest the Impaled" scheduled to be released around summer 2009. According to their MySpace page, it says, "With this new line up and sound, the next installment from Dawn of Ashes will summon new sights and sounds among the world with a 'black/melodic death metal' sound."

Recently, the band has announced the release date and tracklist of Genocide Chapters. The album features 11 completely new tracks. The band has gone into a new direction with the new album.

Dawn of Ashes are now touring North America on the Darkness Reborn Tour to support Genocide Chapters with Dimmu Borgir, Enslaved and Blood Red Throne.
