Founded in Salzburg, Austria in 1992 by Stefan Traunmüller as a one-man project, Golden Dawn emerged from the same fertile scene as Abigor and Summoning, with whom they shared membership in the Austrian Black Metal Syndicate.

Masquerade appeared on Napalm Records seven years later, and the band has continued intermittently with albums including Return to Provenance in 2012.
