The band was devastated – all the pieces had seemed right but it looked like fate had other plans. Not knowing what would happen next, the remaining members stood together and set out to find a new guitarist. Several auditions were held but, it did not take long to find the perfect match. Enter Kash: his powerful, unique guitar sound was the answer to all their needs. Without contest, Kash was granted the position. Rejuvenated, the group worked to create new material, as well as rethink their entire musical structure. After hard work and determination, the band finally recorded an EP entitled Genesis which they released in mid-October 2001.

During their song-writing and studio time together, the members quickly recognized a strong bond and chemistry that they had together. When they played – they sounded as one unit. Celestial Dawn had undergone a rebirth. The shows that followed only enforced that feeling as the band began promoting the EP in more cities, venues, and audiences than ever before. They burnt up the stage wherever they played and it now seems that their journey down the highway of Heavy Metal is well under way.

Now, Celestial Dawn has teamed up with Insanity Records of Germany. The band will be working closely with the label with one goal in mind: to bring audiences Celestial Dawn’s brand of metal.
