UMUR
"Procession Of Ghosts" is the fifth full-length studio album by German death metal act Dawn Of Disease. The album was released through Napalm Records in November 2019. It would be the final album in their original run, as Dawn Of Disease disbanded in 2020. "Procession Of Ghosts" the successor to "Ascension Gate" from August 2017. The lineup who recorded the predecessor is intact.

Stylistically the material on "Procession Of Ghosts" is a continuation of the melodic and often epic sounding death metal style of "Ascension Gate". A further confirmation that the stylistic change from death metal to melodic death metal which happened between "Worship The Grave" (2016) and "Ascension Gate" (2017) wasn´t a one-off. These guys are now 100% a melodic death metal band (even utilizing atmosphere enhancing keyboards on this album).

"Procession Of Ghosts" features a well sounding production, which is probably the best sounding production on any of the band´s albums. Dawn Of Disease are a well playing unit too, but their lack of a unique sound and the fact that for all the melodic qualitities of their material, their songs aren´t particularly memorable, aren´t features which leave a positive impression. I have the feeling at all times that they are capable of so much more, but only reveal about 60% of their potential. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
