DAWN OF SOLACE Release New Album & Lyric Video for New Track "Dream"; 'Affliction Vortex' out now !

February 16, 2025

DAWN OF SOLACE, the Finnish masters of melancholic metal, have unleashed their latest creation, Affliction Vortex. Released through Noble Demon on Vinyl and Digipak CD, the album promises to solidify the band's place at the forefront of the genre.

Formed in 2005 as Tuomas Saukkonen's (WOLFHEART, BEFORE THE DAWN) creative outlet, DAWN OF SOLACE quickly established itself with their debut album, "The Darkness" (2006). Despite a hiatus due to legal complications, the band's loyal fanbase remained unwavering, keeping the flame alive. A triumphant return came in 2019 with the signing to Noble Demon. This partnership revitalized DAWN OF SOLACE, leading to two successful full-length albums - "Waves" (2020) and "Flames of Perdition" (2022) - alongside an unplugged EP. In early 2024, the band entered the studio, determined to craft their most versatile album yet.

Affliction Vortex represents the culmination of this artistic evolution. The album promises a dark and immersive experience, delving deep into the heart of Finnish melancholy. It's a sonic journey that will resonate with fans of atmospheric and emotionally charged metal.

To celebrate the album's release, DAWN OF SOLACE have unveiled a lyric video for the track "Dream". Regarding the choice of "Dream" as a single, mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen comments: "Dream might not be the most typical DoS single song but the forward pushing pulse and the steady groove of the song made it impossible to ignore it as one of the obvious single choices. Like a train rushing through the night and full moon illuminating the view."

DAWN OF SOLACE Unleash Crushing New Single "Invitation" From Upcoming Album "Affliction Vortex"!

January 17, 2025

Finnish melancholic metal heavyweights DAWN OF SOLACE have dropped their crushing new track, "Invitation", taken from the forthcoming full-length album, "Affliction Vortex". Due for release on February 14th via Noble Demon, "Affliction Vortex" promises to be a dark and captivating journey straight into the depths of Nordic melancholy.

Following the first two singles "Murder" and "Fortress", "Invitation" is another powerful statement that showcases the band's signature blend of heavy riffs and haunting melodies.

Mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen (WOLFHEART, BEFORE THE DAWN) comments on the track: "Invitation is a crushingly heavy and beautiful song at least from the writers point of view. Sometimes a song and lyrics are born like a stream of thought and with effortless creation but once all is done and you hear the song as a complete piece of art it ties a knot inside you that you struggle to open even after dozens of times of listening and even speaking certain parts of lyrics remains unpleasant."
