Cold Flare Eternal - CD

Tuomas Saukkonen, Finland's most prolific musician in the field of Nordic metal, follows the motto “If you want to create, you have to destroy”. Over the past 20 years, he has created and disbanded numerous projects that have shaped the Finnish metal scene. In 2023, he brought the band Before The Dawn back after an eleven-year break with the album Stormbringers, which was celebrated as a musical comeback. Now the follow-up is already in the starting blocks, a work characterized by strong band chemistry and musical brilliance.

In the new album, Saukkonen reunites the band in its best line-up and creates a hard-hitting work that shines with aggressive yet melodic sounds. The album captures the energy and atmosphere of the band's performances and combines it with the deep, mystical beauty of Finnish nature. Saukkonen, who is also known as a solo artist with projects such as Wolfheart and Dawn Of Solace, has released several albums since 2022 and continues to perform with passion and creative energy.

Despite his intense workload, Saukkonen emphasizes that he also has more time for his hobbies such as fishing. The new album not only shows his continued passion for music, but also a tremendous energy that is reflected in both the lyrics and the music. Saukkonen remains a passionate musician who continues to focus on creating new music even after more than 20 years in the scene.
