Synopsis

Product Description
Back in 1999, when Tuomas Saukkonen felt the need to break his routines as a drummer of a local band, he created a new metal project going by the name Before The Dawn. As soon as the studio was booked, the following demo session started a decade of prolific recording that captured 3 demos, 5 full length albums, 1 DVD and 2 mini albums.

Saukkonen and lead guitarist Juho Räihä have been the key members of the band s sound since the Deadlight album through to Decade of Darkness and Deathstar Rising, with Saukkonen delivering the music and production and Räihä working behind the mixing desk in the studio, but Before The Dawn as we had known it, saw its end on June 25th of 2011 at the Nummirock festival where Lars Eikind (bass/clean vocals) and Atte Palokangas (drums) left the band due to mutual personal and musical disagreements.

Current changes were difficult and unfortunate but still inevitable and necessary so that the band could continue and release the 7th album stronger than ever!, explained Saukkonen, leader and sole songwriter for Before The Dawn, Massive changes in the line-up during 2011 ended an era of great frustration and brought back 110% dedication and professionalism into the band. The newfound energy and motivation steered us into a victorious European tour and made it possible to produce the strongest, fastest, heaviest and definitely the most epic Before The Dawn album so far!

After the European Rebirth tour in November 2011 together with Insomnium, Before The Dawn returned to the studio with new members Pyry Hanski on bass and Joonas Kauppinen on drums to record the said 7th album entitled Rise Of The Phoenix considering the circumstances, they couldn t have chosen a more suitable title! The new record will bring the band closer to melodic death metal, while gothic influences will be part of the band s history. One can look forward to the new paths Before The Dawn will be wandering on!
