Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captain Beyond's 'Dawn Explosion' was the band's third and final studio album, recorded after major lineup changes from their early-1970s peak. The album retains hard rock and progressive elements but presents a more straightforward late-1970s sound than the group's debut.
