It was released on May 13, 2008 in the [[United States]]. It is their first album with [[Relapse Records]]. ==Critical reception== The album received a score of 3 out of 6 from Norway's ''[[Scream (Norwegian magazine)\|Scream]]''. The reviewer joked that the album might as well "be called 'Programmed To Play Standard Death Metal'" because it sounded so "average" and was "predictable and lacking in ideas". While they praised the musicianship and production, they stated "the band showcases zero intent to create an identity".<ref>{{cite magazine\|title=ABYSMAL DAWN "Programmed to Consume"\|last=Aaslie\|first=André\|year=2008\|magazine=Scream\|issue=127\|page=36\|language=no\|type=review}}</ref> ''[[AllMusic]]'' wrote: "If you were to make a 'death metal checklist,' all of the genre's prerequisites are met on [...] Programmed to Consume."<ref name="AllMusic"/> ''[[About.com]]'' said the band expanded and perfected their sound on the record, using elements from [[Thrash metal\|thrash]] and [[black metal]].<ref name="About.com"/> ''[[Blabbermouth.net]]'' wrote: "[...] what impresses me most about 'Programmed to Consume' is how expertly the band balances tunefulness with merciless force."<ref name="Blabbermouth"/> ''[[Ox-Fanzine]]'' called the album a disappointment that doesn't contain any weaknesses but not any highlights either.<ref name="Ox-Fanzine">{{cite web \|title=Review - ABYSMAL DAWN - Programmed To Consume \|url=https://www.ox-fanzine.de/review/abysmal-dawn-programmed-to-consume-63269 \|website=[[Ox-Fanzine]] \|access-date=29 August 2025 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250829165948/https://www.ox-fanzine.de/review/abysmal-dawn-programmed-to-consume-63269 \|archive-date=29 August 2025 \|language=German \|date=August 2008 \|quote=Ausgabe #79 August/September 2008 \|url-status=live}}</ref> ==Track listing== {{track listing ~~{{tracklist~~ \| all_lyrics = Charles Elliott \| all_music = Abysmal Dawn, except where noted Line 47 ⟶ 68: ==Personnel== * Charles Elliott - ~~vocals~~guitars, ~~guitars~~vocals * Jaime Boulanger - guitars * Michael Cosio - bass▼ * Terry Barajas - drums ▲* Michael Cosio - bass * Mick Mullin - mastering Line 57 ⟶ 78: {{Abysmal Dawn}} {{Authority control}} [[Category:2008 albums]]
