Finnish melodic death metal powerhouse BEFORE THE DAWN are pleased to unveil their newest single, “Shockwave.” The fierce track comes off the band’s new studio album, Cold Flare Eternal, set for release on September 5th via Reaper Entertainment.
A crushing storm of groove, aggression, and raw power, “Shockwave” reveals a new, heavier facet of the band while still carrying their signature blend of melody and melancholy. Thundering riffs, pounding drums, and an explosive vocal performance mark this song as a future live favorite.
The band comments, “‘Shockwave’ is the heaviest single we have ever released with BEFORE THE DAWN and contains the fire of a thousand suns and the weight of a dying star. A grand embodiment of the energy inside the band! Can’t wait to get to play this banger on the Fall tour.”
“To create, one must destroy.” This has long been the guiding mantra of Tuomas Saukkonen, one of Finland’s most prolific and influential metal musicians. Over the past two decades, he has shaped the scene through projects like Wolfheart, Dawn Of Solace, and of course, BEFORE THE DAWN.
Following their critically acclaimed Stormbringers full-length in 2023, Cold Flare Eternal captures the momentum of a band reborn. Recorded once again at guitarist Juho Räihä’s studio, the album brings together crushing heaviness, soaring melodies, and the atmospheric beauty of Finland’s dark landscapes.
With Cold Flare Eternal, BEFORE THE DAWN delivers a masterclass in modern melodic death metal – raw, refined, and deeply resonant; an intense, emotional, and atmospheric journey into the depths of Nordic metal.
Cold Flare Eternal features core art by Gogo Melone (Wolfheart, Insomnium, Xandria, Omnium Gatherum) and will be available on CD, LP, and digital formats.
