Come the Dawn began in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2012, carving a niche with heavy riffs, melodic atmosphere, and emotionally charged lyrics. In December 2013, the band signed to Sumerian Records, a label known for its roster of forward-thinking metal and core acts. Their 2014 release, Light of the World, showcased a blend of aggressive energy and expansive melodies that resonated with fans across the US. That same year, they released the single Worlds Collide (As It Ends Tonight), which helped broaden their reach within the heavier music community.
In 2014, CTD gained additional exposure through a Sumerian Records compilation project that featured Florence + The Sphinx covers, highlighting the band’s willingness to explore diverse influences while staying true to their core sound. The Cincinnati roots and early touring with other metalcore groups helped CTD/HISTORY with a dedicated following. In 2017, the project underwent a name change to American Sin, marking a new chapter while maintaining the energy and identity fans connected with from Come the Dawn.
Today, American Sin maintains an active social media presence under the band name, keeping supporters informed about music, releases, and any potential live appearances. While there are no publicly announced 2025 tours, fans continue to follow the band’s channels for updates and new material.
