Early in the year 2003, somewhere at the far end of a valley lost in the Swiss Alps, Dawnless takes shape in the silence of an icy cold January month. The band's name's meaning is related to the area where the members come from which is forsaken by the sun throughout the long winter months.

This second record, more powerful, mature and trimmed than "A Way of Escape" represents a first real achievement for the musicians who will definitely not slow down the machine at this point...
