Finnish melodic death metal outfit Before the Dawn will release their new album Cold Flare Eternal, on September 5 via Reaper Entertainment. The band has unveiled a video for their latest single, “Stellar Effect.” Following 2023’s Stormbringers, the new album continues the band’s resurgence, recorded at guitarist Juho Räihä’s studio. Before the Dawn will support the release with a European tour alongside Wolfheart this fall. Tickets are available at this location.
Tuomas Saukkonen comments:
“‘Stellar Effect’ is a perfect combination of oldschool BEFORE THE DAWN and the band we are in 2025: somber gothic metal influences colliding with melodic death metal grandeur. Also, this song truly underlines the massive range that [vocalist] Paavo [Laapotti] has with his vocals.”
