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 follows up their celebrated comeback Stormbringers (2023) with a powerful new chapter of Karelian melancholy and crushing metal anthems.
The chemistry within the band – now featuring vocalist Paavo Laapotti and the seasoned lineup of Juho Räihä (guitars) and Pyry Hanski (bass) – has reached an all- time high. Capturing the momentum of their first European tour in 14 years, the band 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 showcases BEFORE THE DAWN’s signature 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 fully- fledged band, delivering some of the most cohesive and anthemic songs of their career.
After 20 albums across his career, Saukkonen is more determined than ever — with Cold Flare Eternal, BEFORE THE DAWN stand ready to conquer new stages and further build on their legacy as one of Finland’s premier melodic death metal exports.
