Dawn (Current 93 album)

Dawn is an album by Current 93, released in 1987. It is generally considered part of the band's early, experimental phase, often categorized as industrial or post-industrial music. The album features a sound characterized by distorted vocals, tape loops, found sounds, and a generally unsettling atmosphere. Lyrically, Dawn explores themes typical of Current 93’s work, including apocalyptic visions, Gnostic concepts, and occult symbolism. David Tibet (also known as David Michael Tibet), the central figure in Current 93, is the primary vocalist and songwriter. The album features contributions from other musicians associated with the early Current 93 line-up and related projects. While not as widely known as some of their later, more folk-influenced works, Dawn is considered a key release for understanding the evolution of Current 93’s distinct sound and thematic preoccupations.
