“Alberta’s Until Dawn have unleashed their impressive sophomore melodic death metal album Horizon. Containing thirteen tracks of driving tempos, diverse vocals and melodic guitar riffs, the band has grown and taken a huge step in progressing. This is a tight affair where the songwriting has been analyzed and every riff and melody is utilized to its full effect.
At times the band adds metalcore influences into their sound like on single “This Fallen Fortress,” but their execution is infallible. The brilliance of adding the aggressive vocals behind the melodic lead vocal during the chorus is a nice touch. The guitar players add excellent melodic riffs that blend perfectly with the driving riffing. The arpeggiated guitar picking and clean vocals of “DNR” is a nice change of pace from the ongoing battering.” – About.com: Heavy Metal – Drago’s Dungeon: July 2013 – The Month’s Best Unsigned Metal Bands
“”With brutal riffs, breakdowns as they should be done, excellent vocal work and impeccable instrumentation, “Horizon” is one of the best albums I’ve heard all year”. ” – Goetia Metal
“The track does an excellent job of capturing the raw energy of Until Dawn’s refined modern metal. With a wicked bass line and a bouncing chug-chug rhythm, “This Fallen Fortress” is essentially about finding strength to overcome any life challenge. It’s melodic and heavy, but it does teeter more on the hard rock, active radio side of the metal spectrum than the death metal side… but it’s still more real than metalcore.” – Yell! Magazine
“Very similar in sound and style to KILLSWITCH ENGAGE or ALL THAT REMAINS and the whole bit, those guys from Alberta, Canada are promising indeed, the abilities to inject some infectious melodies into their Metalcore with much success is obvious and thrilling, each track reveal a little jewel hook and as always some great Headbanging riffage and furious breakdowns… ” – Metal Temple
“Thirteen tracks in total, all highly listenable, with a few standout tracks that made a real impact on me. One of these tracks, ‘This Fallen Fortress’, was released prior to the album as a single and expresses what it was like for the band trying to break out and showcase their music to a larger audience and of gaining strength through confronting life’s obstacles.
It’s a track that sat well with me from the offset, it has a fabulous bass opener and it’s powerful, as are a lot of the tracks on the album and was one of a couple that inexplicably made the hair stand up on the back of my neck, as did ‘A Conjurer Of Cheap Tricks’, which is awash with powerful riffs and carries a strong message.
Other noteworthy tracks are ‘Roamers And Lurkers’, exciting, with a catchy memorable riff, ‘Strings Of The Dammed’ with a slower tempo, a bit of a groove and great picking elements, ‘DNR’, a gutsy and powerful ballad that is lyrically harrowing, about the lonely and confused end of someone’s life and finally ‘Horizon’, the title track which has a slower tempo to the greater part that is balanced against quickly delivered vocals with an up-tempo chorus and a reflective quality.” Metal Talk
“Heavier than a CFL team, Until Dawn forges metal and classic rock in an unrelenting sonic assault.” – New Canadian Music
“If there’s one album that you need to fit into your budget this summer, ‘Horizon’ is it. We guarantee that you won’t be disappointed and you’ll be listening to the album for the rest of the year.” – Nuclear Fallout Radio
“While flowing through the tracks of ‘Horizon,’ there are plenty of mosh pit moments early in the album with tracks such as ‘Roamers and Lurkers’ and ‘The Red Sea Rises.’ There are even ones where you can slow down and throw your lighters in the air as well. The track ‘DNR’ being a prime example of the ability to sit back and enjoy the moment and the artistry that Until Dawn is capable of, while at the same time giving you a break half-way through the album before punishing you with their ability to be LOUD once again with the track ‘Time Tested Fortune.’ Our personal favorite tracks off of the album had to be ‘The Trial’ followed up by ‘The Fallen Fortress,’ and ‘Polar Parellels.’ Let us be clear though, there is not a single track on ‘Horizon’ that is not good quality music. This is probably one of the most complete albums we’ve had a chance to listen to all year and that says a lot.” – Nuclear Fallout Radio
“Track after track the formula sticks to what I consider a successful metal template. Heavy guitars, heart stopping drums and bass, with vocals that are melodic, fierce, and definitely metal. If this band doesn’t reach the pinnacle of Canadian Metal I have to think that the system is broken.” – We Love Metal
“Until Dawn is a nifty metal band who are distinctly reminiscent of groups like Trivium or even Avenged Sevenfold. Their burnished modern metal sound is a lot of fun to listen too and brooks no posers. This is mainstream metal at its finest, accessible yet still brutal with a minimum of good cop bad cop vocals. The transitions between cleans and growls is actually very well handled and I think it will call up many a comparison to Trivium.” – Two Guys Metal Reviews
