Dawn Of Solace, the brainchild of esteemed musician Tuomas Saukkonen from Wolfheart and Before The Dawn, has set the stage for the imminent launch of its new studio album, Affliction Vortex, scheduled to drop on 14 February 2025 through Noble Demon. Offering a glimpse into this monumental release, the band has lifted the curtain on its first single, "Murder", a track that masterfully embodies the band's signature fusion of Finnish melancholy and relentless intensity. The song was released alongside a music video directed by Winter Notes Production.
Tuomas Saukkonen shared his insight about the single, stating: "'Murder' was the first song that got written and that usually comes my #1 pick for the first single. A majestic beacon that guided the rest of the creative process with its cold and dark light".
Established in 2005 as Saukkonen's side project, Dawn Of Solace embodied a different shade of musical creativity, with its debut album, The Darkness, seeing the light of day in 2006. Despite a decade-long hiatus due to legal entanglements, the band's loyal fan base kept its flame alive, with the debut album gathering momentum on digital platforms.
2019 marked a new beginning when all obstacles to continuing the band were overcome, and a new alliance was forged with Noble Demon. This partnership was one of the primal forces pushing Dawn Of Solace back to the international scene of melancholic metal, producing two full-lengths (Waves in 2020 and Flames Of Perdition in 2022) and an unplugged EP until the band entered the studio at the beginning of 2024 to craft its most versatile album to date. The creation that emerged, Affliction Vortex, encapsulates Nordic melancholy and unadulterated Finnish darkness. Link
