Finnish melancholic/gothic metal act Dawn Of Solace, a project by Wolfheart/Before The Dawn's mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen, is gearing up for the release of the fourth studio album, Affliction Vortex, set to arrive on 14 February 2025, via Noble Demon. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Flames Of Perdition (2022) promises to be the band's most diverse and powerful offering yet.
Following the release of the first single "Murder" (you can check it out over HERE), the band has given further insight into their forthcoming album with the track "Fortress". The song is accompanied by a brand-new music video.
Mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen: "'Fortress' shows a new kind of energy and progression in Dawn Of Solace music. Definitely the most intensive song on the new album and first Dawn Of Solace song ever with a joined effort on lyrics. I teamed up with an Australian poet and his extremely powerful words were like a wind in the sails on the chorus."
The upcoming album, Affliction Vortex, is the culmination of this creative evolution. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Saku Moilanen at DeepNoise Studios, the album promises to be a dark and captivating journey through the depths of Finnish melancholy. Link
