The head of music for Bafana FM The digital voice of Africa said he loved the new single ‘Tides’ from ‘Armored Dawn’ with it’s infectious metal power, dark rhythmic vibe and melodic powerful vocals, that sound like the soundtrack to an epic movie. It’s now on the playlist and will be played every day + as a special Metal Africa superplay at approx 3 PM SA time for a month.
After a triumphant comeback with “S.O.S.”, Armored Dawn releases their newest single “Tides”, delivering even more heaviness. However, like the previous song, this current record also addresses deeper sentimental themes, such as melancholy. The launch took place on all major streaming platforms on September 30th.
The song was recorded at renowned Dharma Studios and mixed by renowned producer Chris Lord Alge (Muse, Green Day, Nickelback), while mastering was handled by Ted Jensen (Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Metallica).

Armored Dawn
Find a concept, work with the right partners and invest in the potential to pursue your dreams. From this perspective, Armored Dawn was born in 2014 and within a few years became relevant in the Brazilian metal scene. After all, they toured alongside great bands such as Saxon, Megadeth, Scorpions, Whitesnake, Europe, Hammerfall, Rhapsody, Fates Warning, Sabaton, Tarja Turunen, in addition to joining Motörboat, the cruise of the legendary band Motörhead.
The first two albums, Power of Warrior (2016) and Barbarians in Black (2018), were produced by important professionals such as Tommy Hansen (Helloween, Jorn), Bruno Agra (We Are Harlot) and Kato Khandwala (The Pretty Reckless, Papa Roach). The third, Viking Zombie, was produced, mixed and mastered by Rodrigo Oliveira and Heros Trench, who is a veteran producer, with more than 200 bands under his belt and a Latin Grammy winner.
Presenting a sophisticated and versatile metal, the group collects great works in music videos, such as the very special production “Sail Away” and “Beware of the Dragon”, shown in all movie theaters in Brazil during the trailers for the 2018 Aquaman movie. Besides, “Ragnarok” and “Animal Uncaged” (recorded at the Rockfest festival, at Allianz Parque, São Paulo, when they played to around 37,000 people) have millions of views on YouTube.
During the pandemic, they released the single “Stronger Together”, very well accepted by the fans, as well as the most recent, “S.O.S.”, which came out last July.
