In an area where no one ever expected it, all hell broke loose as PANDORA’S DAWN was founded in 2005. Stef, Mike, Dave, Norbi and Basti, 5 guys coming from Knittelfeld, decided to share their passion in doing what they love and what they can do best – making rousing, epic and blasting music. In 2007 they recorded and released their first EP “You Should Not Wound What Can’t Be Killed” and gained a lot of fans in Austria and on “Myspace”. After playing a lot of great shows in 2007 Basti decided to leave the band due to personal reasons and Jan, former singer of “Mondocane” took over the mic. In early 2008 the guys started to record the “Promo CD 2008” for promotional purposes, but after a while Norbi decided to part ways with the band, as he didn’t want to keep on making music anymore. In the same month Stef, Mike and Dave made the decision to replace Jan as well. In summer 2008 the band found their new members, when Matthias, former singer of “Give ‘em Blood”, and Ben, former Drummer of “Six Days Left” joined the band. With this perfect line up they have put the songwriting to a higher level and in 2009 they recorded their first full – length in Vienna together with Mike Kornstorfer from “Before The Fall”. The title of the album is “Fractures In Existence” and deals with what the world has become in the age of exploitation and isolation and where this will lead mankind to.
