Golden Dawn

Golden Dawn is an Austrian band formed by Stefan Traunmüller as a one-man black metal project in 1992. It attracted the attention of Ray Wells of Pazuzu and Martin Schirenc of Pungent Stench and Hollenthon, which led to a compilation appearance and a contract with Dark Matter Records.

Traunmüller recorded his debut album, The Art of Dreaming, as a one-man band with session musicians Thomas Tannenberger of Abigor and Martin Schirenc.

Dark Matter folded. Seven years later recorded Masquerade for Napalm Records.

In January 2012, Return To Provenance was released on Non Serviam Records. In 2018, the band released a split with The Negative Bias via Casus Belli Musica and Beverina Productions.
