I bid you all a good evening, folks. I have returned to the Steemit world with some big news regarding my metal band, Dawn of End. I apologize for the elongated absence from here, but I have been hard at work on behalf of the band, relentlessly practicing with them and spending days at a time calling and emailing around to every event venue I could find in my home state of New Hampshire to land us any gigs we could do. I vowed to myself and to the band that 2017 was going to be OUR year. And now, after days, weeks even, of this seemingly endless pursuit, I am excited to announce that my band has officially been booked for two gigs in the month of May! We are finally where we need to be! This is really happening for us, and the time has come to show this state what we're about. So, if there are any of you on here who are from New England in general, feel free to look us up, check our music out, catch a show even, in support of keeping the local metal scene alive!
And for those of you who live too far away, please enjoy this post regardless, as I am about to bring some exciting news to you all, near and far! I have not only been hard at work promoting the hell out of us, but I have also been hard at work reintroducing us back into the local scene in different forms. For starters, we now have a brand new official website that just became live to the public as of yesterday. Within it we will provide fans with news, music info, a brief band bio, upcoming shows, contact info and links that will allow fans a bit into the world of the band and their goings-on. The following is the address for said website, so please feel free to visit and let me know what you think of it thus far!

Secondly, I have taken the liberty of finally signing us up onto Bandcamp. You would be amazed at how much good that site can do for bands, especially local ones. It gives them the power of the internet to really mass publicize their craft to those who at one point in the past would have likely never had the pleasure to hear them. And we as a band, in this case, are no different! Therefore, I opened us a Bandcamp account, uploaded our debut album, "Battles of Illumination", onto the database, and now our debut self-released album is available for purchase to more than just the local scene! Individual tracks can be purchased at 50 cents apiece, or a full album download can be had for a measly $5!!!! For any of those interested, please feel free to check out the link below.

And finally, in support of all the new happenings within the band's timeline, I have started a merchandise campaign courtesy of Teespring to give potential fans the opportunity to show their support for us. The Teespring page offers a few apparel options such as t-shirts, hoodies and tank tops with our band logo on the front, and a little something extra on the back! What, may you ask? Well, the text on the back reads as follows: "Pure Fucking New England Metal". For those of you whose attention I have grabbed thus far with this exciting news, if you wish to show support for a not-so-well-known band and keep the local music scene alive in all corners of the world, you can grab a shirt or hoodie (or otherwise) at the following address! The band and I appreciate your support!

Come to expect many more posts on here about my band, as we are really picking up speed when it comes to our progress in getting back out there and playing to the public! We are very excited that we have this opportunity in front of us and we are going to keep pushing until we are back out there among the metal scene we love so much. In the meantime, you all may also feel free to visit us on our Facebook page. The link can be found below.
