Days Of Betrayal is a quintet hailing from a small city called Eeklo (one hour drive from Brussels) Belgium. They started out late 2004 and like many young bands trying to find a sound and style they all love… They started creating the first couple of songs and after a few months the first series of shows got booked. The reactions on these shows were a lot better than expected, as metal is the main spine in this band. However it became obvious that we needed to make some changes not only musical settings but we needed to make clear what kind of style we wanted to go further in. In September 2006 they entered the Midas Studios with producer Tony De Block ( Liar, Congress, Born from pain, Morning Again,…) to record a debut EP titled ‘’Autumn’s Coldest Embrace’’ it got self released on January 6, 2007. The direction of this debut EP music wise goes from Swedish stuff to German metal in the vein of Heaven Shall Burn, At The Gates, Bolt Thrower,… The reviews written in different E-zines/magazines came out positive, we could say that this release was a good and solid debut record one that has shown potential in this band. To support this mini cd, the band jumped on a 2 week European tour as a direct support for US hardcore legends Pro-Pain. Musicwise something different but it turned out to be a great experience!! The band played numerous shows in Belgium and single shows in Germany, Holland, to get the name spread and present our music this all on DIY basis!! Meanwhile they started working on new material, this time for a first full length album! We could notice a direct change in sound of the new material, new influences came out very clear! The German sound got replaced for a more US type of melodic death-black metalcore! The new material sounds a lot different than what you can hear on our previous release. The band has grown and added a lot more elements, not only song structure wise but a lot more technique comes to it this time. We can say that this album sounds brutal, fast , a metal album in all its layers but with a original flair of sound. DOB recorded this first full length album mid March 2008 this time at the CDS Studios located in Chelmsford ,UK. Days Of Betrayal has released a first full length album September ,2008 on Belgian Metal label Shiver records. Days Of Betrayal shared the stage with bands such as: Born From Pain(Nl), Leng tch’e, Liar, Congress, Blood Red Throne (No) , Dew Scented (Ger), Neaera (Ger), Misery Speaks (Ger) , Deadlock (Ger), First Blood (Us), Pro-Pain (Us)
