Los Angeles’ ABYSMAL DAWN have announced Mike Cosio as their new bassist as well as their opening slot for EMPEROR’s show in LA. Here is more from the band:

“We’d like to thank everyone that came out to the Los Angeles Murderfest this past weekend. It was an honor playing for all of you and it was well worth taking the short break from writing.

“As most of you noticed that night we now have a new bass player in our ranks, Mr. Mike Cosio (GRAVE DESECRATION, ex-EXCRETION, etc.)! We’ve been working with him for the past month and after his outstanding performance this weekend it’s finally official.

Now that we’ve gotten playing live out of our system for a while, it’s time to climb back into our shells and continue writing. Our only scheduled performance at the moment is the recently added EMPEROR reunion show, on June 3rd at the Key Club in Hollywood. We feel very privileged to be supporting such a legendary entity and hope you will come out and show your support for some black/death metal art!”
