'''''Programmed to Consume''''' is the second full-length album by [[Abysmal Dawn]]. 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 album might as well "be called 'Programmed To Play Standard Death Metal'", wrote the reviewer, because it sounded so "average", was "predictable and lacking in ideas". The musicianship and production were good, though, but "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. The album was said to contain 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>
