| Omega Dawn is here to make an impact.
Hailing from Napier, New Zealand, Omega Dawn is a powerful rock entity made up of 5 core members: Damien Gouder (25) Lead vocals / acoustic guitar - Jon Farquharson (24) Bass architecture / backing vox - Ben Molnar (26) Lead & rhythm guitars / backing vox - Khan Ratima (23) Lead & rhythm guitars and Phill Burton (25) Drums and percussion.
Drawing on a wide and varied range of musical influences, Omega Dawns' sound is hard to categorise. The music and its messages live by their maxim ’Music for the future ~ Music for the people’. -It’s a rock-solid foundation of intelligent song structures fused together by powerful hook melodies & catchy rhythms that reproduce the commercial integrity of many successful bands before them. While reminiscent of the great rock supergroups, Omega Dawn have built on this base and expanded it to include a new strain of hit music: fusing hook driven pop style choruses with edgy rock guitar riffs, either bouncing along with the energetic rhythms of funk or swimming through the watery moodiness of the more emotive side of our souls. Many people long for more emotional substance to their music than your average everyday throw away lines provide – music that can make you really ‘feel’ something inside.
Heavy Rock and pop are two words not usually associated with each other, but with Omega dawn these two sounds fuse together to produce a hypnotic and seductive sound destined for chart success. Rock has never been heard this way... pop has never been heard this way… This development has furthered the creation of a whole new generation of originality, innovation and entertainment that displays them as a truly unique, technically impressive and sonically superior class of band altogether. It is music for the future ~ music for the people.
Omega Dawn knew the key to their success would lay within being able to strike the listener's core emotions and send them on a rocketing journey higher and higher until the world they normally stood solid footed in is lost and forgotten to the new world of sound and drama that the songs they hear engulf them in.
Formed in November 2003, Omega Dawn's rapid rise up the ranks of popularity amongst rock and entertainment enthusiasts has happened for a very good reason. It has happened because of the continuing huge work ethic, the attitude and dedication of striving through blood, sweat and tears together. -To reach the goal of being one of the worlds premier commercial rock acts in live and recorded form and broad media acknowledgment. The bands pay off so far has been the eager reception to their hook laden songs and explosive live shows by the ever-demanding fans and associated press.
October 2004 saw Omega Dawn being asked to perform at their local tertiary institute to support visiting Eagles’ lead guitarist, the legendary Joe Walsh. Mr. Walsh had taken time off from his world tour to visit New Zealand and being asked to perform for him was yet another step up the ladder for Omega Dawn's reputation to gain even more media and public exposure and applauds.
The outlook to the future is confident - the focus is now set on establishing its presence on the international music scene. Catering to an ever-expanding fanbase, Omega Dawn has seen the issue of highly demanded recordings, demo DVD, commercial radio play, and being the focus of media attention in many feature stories, reviews and press releases.
Omega Dawns' own brand of soaring vocals, flowing rhythms and incredible dual lead guitars leave a firm impression that this is a talented band on the rise, with no limit to its potential. |
