Hey Peeps! I just want to promote and rant about my band Sadauk a bit. Some info may be totally uninteresting for most of you but what the hell. The band formed back in 1996 and from that era we have 2 members left, vocalist Joppe and on Bass Dice. Before I joined the band Dice used to be the main composer/guitarist, but since he joined Starblind on Bass he wanted to continue on that path. In 2016 he came back to Sadauk after a 3 year absence when we asked him if he could record the bass for A New Dawn. Many of the songs on the album were his old songs that I had put my touch on based on old demos from the 90´s + some newer songs like Battle a God, Sage and Jester and Saling Away. As for me (Mats/Guitars) I joined the band back in January 2014 when it was more or less revived "for real" again after a long hiatus. The band was well known for me as I had met Joppe back in 2001 and got the first demo Theatre of War on cassette (released 1997). In the almost 6 years that we have been working on the future with Sadauk we have done a few but very successful gigs, the latest one at House of Metal festival in the north of sweden. Our debut album is not the typical album you can just listen to and get caught directly, it need time before it grows on you but it´s worth it (hopefully). I love reading reviews where they actually did listen to the album a few times and mention this. Right now we are working on A New Dawn Part II and the pre-production stage is almost done. I hope some of you will take the time to give our debut album a few spins, maybe you´ll like it, or hate it. As long as you give it a chance I´ll be more than happy. Sadauk @ Facebook Sadauk on Youtube: Sailing Away (Lyric Video) Battle a God (Lyric Video) Hourglass (Live 2018) On Tears of the Sun we have lead guest vocals from Mats - Ereb Altor / Isole. On As they Sleep behind the Horizon we have a guestsolo from Jesper Johansson (ex-Morifade) who also composed all the keys/fx on the album.

Some of our lyrics are in black speech, as is the name of the band. "Sadauk" means Charge!/Attack!. The drums on A New Dawn is recorded by none other than Henrik Åberg (Mörk Gryning, ex-Battlelust, ex-Cyanide, ex-Leprechaun, ex-Hellmasker, ex-Satariel, ex-Wombbath, ex-Overtorture (live), ex-Sectu (live), ex-Gates of Ishtar, ex-Incinerator, ex-Necromicon, ex-Slowgate) (links to Metal Archives). All the art for this album was made by Peter Bergting. The booklet is a 24 page version with art made for every song. It´s a common mistake for media to get the line-up wrong. Since Sadauk was a project when we entered the studio and converted more into a band after it was all finished it got a bit confusing.

Sage and Jester 06:58 Show lyrics Total running time: 59:29 Songs 1-6 is part of the "A New Dawn" story and the rest is just mixed standalone songs. The story will continue with the same principle on the next album. For those confused regarding what Vikingagillets Kväde, it is an intro for Sailing Away. Title in English: The Viking Feasts Poem An ode to Odin Translated Lyrics: To our fathers and to beer In the moonlight the wolves howl And the raven fly over father´s stone Before our journey, a feast for Greybeard We raise our horn for the good of Æsir If I would give a short note on each song it would look something like this: 1, Ancient Lithdor: Intro made by our old keyboardist Lennie Spetze (check out his band Havamal..!!), I guess the intro builds up one to believe they are up for a epic power metal journey. Well, you couldn´t be more wrong haha. Even if it can be epic at times the first song gives you a punch straight in the guts all the way up until Therése starts singing. 2, Melhínis Death: I always thought this song was a bit too heavy and "slow" to have as the first song on the record, but it seems to have been liked by many and after all it is the first song in the story (and also the first song Sadauk ever wrote back in 1996) This song has some Black Speech that can confuse people since it goes back and forth between that and English. 3, Cursed Land: An old favourite and one of the few songs with no female vocals. Lots of fun riffs to play and some elements where Joppe talks instead of screaming. 4, Battle a God: While recording this song I really went all in with the guitars during some parts. Details most people won´t probably even hear but it was great fun to record. In this song Therése has a bigger role. 5, Funeral Among Roses: For the recording of this little epitaph we went to a beautiful church where they had a big organ, and the guy playing it is a freemason. No clicktrack was used and we did this in just a few takes. Theréses vocals are completely improvised, we just gave her the words and asked her to mess around a bit. 6, Eleanna´s Prophecy: This was a song that I had made a few months before we went in to the studio and I was uncertain if it would fit Sadauk, but when Joppe heard the demo he was blown away so there was no chance of it not being on the record. This is also one of the songs where only Joppe handles the vocals. 7, Vikingagillets Kväde: This is the intro to Sailing Away, we actually recorded this live in the studio while celebrating Sadauks 20th birthday in April 2016. So we were like 10-15 people drinking and yelling in the studio while Joppe spoke his lines. One guy was to drunk and missed the recording session since he was puking outside the facility at that moment. 8, Sailing Away: This has always been a favourite song for me, a bit folkish in the sound. We first had the intention of having Johan Hegg on vocals but unfortunately he did not have the time to do this so Joppe did it himself, and if you listen closely you will hear a clean voice dubbing Joppes voice, this is Daniel (our bassplayer). On this song our old bassplayer Stefan Östlund jumped in on session, he´s a great bassplayer so you can hear some cool stuff in it. 9, As they sleep behind the Horizon: I never liked this song much at all and was one of the opposers of it being on the record. It´s a song from the 90s and I just thought it sounded like crap. But as the other ones did not agree with me I had to first learn and interpret it and during that process I came to like it a lot. I made the outro-thing I just for shitz and giggles to mess with the others but it turned out that they liked it and wanted to keep it like that. Another fun thing is that while Jesper was arranging the keys for this song he told me there were a perfect place in the song for a guitarsolo, and my response was of course "Great, record a solo then". That´s how and why he came to play the solo. 10, Tears of the Sun: Back in 1998 Sadauk recorded a demo (unreleased) called "Tears of the Sun" and the title track I really, really liked. This was a song that no one else in the band really wanted to have on the new album but that was out of the question for me so I got them to record it anyway and it turned out great. When I sent the song to Mats (Ereb Altor / Isole) for him to record the vocals it was stripped down to only drums and guitars. I also did not give him the original demo to listen to since I wanted him to do something different with it and the outcome was in my ears amazing and so different from the original. 11, Who is King in Paradise: This was the first song I wrote to Sadauk and I still think it´s one of the best songs I´ve ever written. The chaos in the ending is orchestrated by our singer Joppe with guests like Mike (Stormburner) and no other than myself on vocals. If I remember correctly it should be (in order) Therése, Rodde, Mike, Mats (me), Jesper/Daniel, Snickars, Emil, Joppes kids, Joppe. 12, Hourglass: Starts like a nice ballad and change gears to the darker side. Really fun song to play live. 13, Sage and Jester: This song was the one I thought would be liked the most by our audience, but it seems it´s often overlooked. Vocals are handled by Therése, Daniel and Joppe. The outro is a fun thing we did in the studio just to close the album. Thats all I can think of right now, I might update this post frequently.
