The Between

“Some bands are simply brimming with ideas. It feels like it was just last year I last reviewed the UK’s Dawnwalker—because it was just last year, and Mark Norgate apparently has a lot on his mind. It’s been fewer than five years since I first reviewed Dawnwalker, and this is my fourth time penning their reviews. The albums, however, could not be more different. From Ages to The Unknowing, Dawnwalker have tread genres, influences, styles, and ideas. Musicians have come and gone and come back again. But Norgate’s vision is the constant, alongside a healthy respect for progressive metal—and boundary-pushing.” New dawn, same walk?
