For some reason I always think Abysmal Dawn has been around a lot shorter of a time than it actually has been, but 2003 is 13 years ago no matter how much I protest the passage of time. The band is currently functioning as a trio with founding vocalist and guitarist Charles Elliott still at the helm, Imperial Decay bassist Eliseo Garcia holding down the low end since 2011, and now Syrebris drummer James Coppolino behind the kit. No word on if Enfold Darkness guitarist Andy Nelson will be replaced or not, who had been rounding the band out as a quartet.
Coppolino has been touring with the band in place of ex-Havok drummer Scott Fuller, and is now full time. You can watch Coppolino's alcohol-related induction into the band below, and get some sweet deals on merch from the band now that it's in the process of writing it's fifth album!
