Promotion[edit]
To promote the album, Cult of Luna released the song "The Silent Man" prior to the release
of A Dawn to Fear.[3][4] In support of A Dawn to Fear, Cult of Luna embarked on a 2020 tour
through North America, co-headlined with Emma Ruth Rundle and Intronaut.[5]

Reception[edit]
The album was generally well received critically. At Exclaim!, Mark Tremblay wrote an
unrated review for this album saying, "A Dawn to Fear rewards its patient listeners with
that they want, bringing enough familiarity but offering enough new ideas sonically that
there's no risk of falling into pure nostalgia — and satisfying longtime fans of the band at
the same time."[6]
