New
CD Release! "The
Dark After Dawn"
Powerful and true to life, "The Dark After Dawn" is a haunting journey into the mind of one man caught in a world of war, environmental destruction and financial ruin. The year is 2009.
The follow up to Joel Steven's second release "Fathomless", "The Dark After Dawn" was conceived and written in the troubled years of 2008 and 2009, a time when fear and uncertainty became the fabric of everyday life across our faltering world.
A conceptual collection of songs comparable in scope to great albums like Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' and Sting's ' Ten Summoner's Tales', "The Dark After Dawn" pulls the listener through deepening tunnels of hope and despair, where each song adds a new element to the tale, yet can still stand amazingly strong alone.
True to his form, Joel Steven's "The Dark After Dawn" is remarkably diverse. From the crushing and sinister 'Time to Bleed,' to the soaring acoustic guitar driven 'Listen', and on to the tongue-in-cheek sarcasm of 'Assisted Suicide,' Steven's songs reflect the winding pathways of human emotion and the twisting moods of its narrator.

Truly moved "WOW!
This is a fantastic album! Rich and raw in feelings and words, intricate and accessible in musicality, open and enveloping in overall sound. Don't miss this album, whatever you do! Each song is a testament to the passion Joel has for music, and each song fits together like a puzzle to create an overall story, a tale woven from the fabric of his life. I AM indeed a fan of Joel's music and this album he has really taken the art of music and story telling to the next level. Fantastic, 5 stars for you, mister!"
Dark After Dawn "By far The Dark After Dawn is an indie rock album to remember. His most impressive recording to date! With songs like Assisted Suicide and Time To Bleed, Joel has laid down the new modern indie rock sound. I highly recommend it! Joel has nailed it!"
