2018 release. There is just no stopping Chris The Professor Black. With High Spirits and Dawnbringer he has created some of the best and most unconventional heavy metal music around today. A quick glance at the cover artwork might lead to the conclusion that Sunrise sounds like Bathory's Hammerheart album. Which is at least partly true as Chris Black explains: "Actually, I wished the album to be more like Hammerheart, but I had to let the songs move in their own way. The guitar is played in a certain way, and so the songs have this continuity. The tempos and rhythms do have some variety, but the atmosphere remains the same for sure."
