Before The Dawn - Cold Flare Eternal CD

Before The Dawn - Cold Flare Eternal CD

With Cold Flare Eternal, Before The Dawn deliver a defining statement in modern Finnish melodic death metal. Following the highly praised comeback album Stormbringers (2023), the band return with their strongest, darkest and most focused material to date. A record shaped by renewed chemistry, live energy and Karelian melancholy.

Led by Tuomas Saukkonen (Wolfheart, Dawn Of Solace), Cold Flare Eternal captures a band fully reawakened. The addition of vocalist Paavo Laapotti, alongside longtime members Juho Räihä (guitar) and Pyry Hanski (bass), has elevated the band’s sound to new heights. Their first European tour in 14 years injected the album with urgency and intensity, resulting in songs that feel powerful, immediate and emotionally charged.

Recorded at SoundSpiral Studios and produced by guitarist Juho Räihä, with mixing and mastering handled by Jacob Hansen, the album balances crushing heaviness with sweeping melodies and a distinctly Nordic atmosphere. The sound is dense yet clear, allowing every riff, lead and vocal line to hit with maximum impact.

The lead single “As Above, So Below” sets the tone with its hermetic themes, dynamic songwriting and epic scope. Across the album, Before The Dawn refine their signature blend of melancholic melody and aggressive metal into some of the most anthemic and cohesive songs of their long career.

This CD edition is perfect for fans who want the full album experience in a classic format, ideal for repeated listening and deep immersion into Before The Dawn’s dark, melodic world.
