Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 39: Simon Barr of Dawn Ray’d (Liverpool, England)

Lingua Brutallica

This episode presents our interview with Simon Barr of Dawn Ray'd - the anti-fascist black metal project looking to strike back against far right provocation in the scene. Though his lyrics engage with fantasy and escapism, Simon's work is also overtly anarchist in the way it explores common struggles of the current time. At the same time, Dawn Ray'd's lyrics remain a sincere representation of his own thoughts and feelings. In this way, Simon aims to inject authenticity that has been lacking in black metal. Ultimately, the central goal of Dawn Ray'd's music is to give anarchism to those who need it most, and remind listeners that the world is worth saving because it is so very beautiful.
