Before The Dawn – Cold Flare Eternal

With "Cold Flare Eternal", Finnish melodic death metal masters Before the Dawn deliver their strongest and heaviest album to date. Led by Tuomas Saukkonen (Wolfheart, Dawn Of Solace), the band follow up their acclaimed comeback "Stormbringers" (2023) with a powerful new chapter of Karelian melancholy and crashing metal anthems.

The chemistry within the band - with new vocalist Paavo Laapotti and seasoned members Juho Räihä (guitar) and Pyry Hanski (bass) - has reached new heights. With the momentum of their first European tour in 14 years, the band has recorded "Cold Flare Eternal" with intense live energy and emotional depth.

Produced at SoundSpiral Studios by guitarist Juho Räihä, mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen, the album Before the Dawns showcases the band's characteristic blend of furious heaviness, soaring melodies and Nordic atmosphere.

The lead single "As Above, So Below" sets the tone with its hermetic themes and sweeping dynamics. "Cold Flare Eternal" cements Before the Dawn's rebirth as a full-fledged band and delivers some of the most cohesive and anthemic songs of their career.

Twenty albums into his career, Saukkonen is more determined than ever - with "Cold Flare Eternal", Before the Dawn are ready to conquer new stages and continue building their legacy as one of Finland's leading exports of melodic death metal.
