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

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."

Listen to "Dream" below:

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

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."

DAWN OF SOLACE (feat. Wolfheart mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen): New Music Video for "White Noise"! "Flames of Perdition" to be

On January 24th 2020, more than a decade after its predecessor The Darkness, Finnish death and gothic doom metal icon Tuomas Saukkonen returned with Waves, his sophomore solo-album under the flag of DAWN OF SOLACE. Grey, heavy and dark, but still sorrow carrying certain beauty and strength - the long-awaited record turned out to be an honest picture of the current times for its writer and delivered exactly that kind of atmosphere everyone had hoped for.

Already while recording the album it was clear that DAWN OF SOLACE was brought back to life and this time without the passing of another 14 years! To be released on November 12th via Noble DemonFlames of Perdition picks up where DAWN OF SOLACE left off with Waves, creating a world full of electrifying melancholy that evokes profound sadness. Like life itself, the darkness of DAWN OF SOLACE has evolved and made a few steps towards the void. This time with an extra amount of solitude that we all have gotten to know during the past 1.5 years.

Watch the music video for "White Noise", featuring Mikko Heikkilä of Kaunis Kuolematon on vocals, right here:

"'White Noise' was the first song that I wrote for 'Flames Of Perdition' and it was like floodgates were opened and rest of the album just followed like a dark stream. 'White Noise' carries and reflects the mood of the entire album and gives a meaning to terms melancholic, sombre and heavy and the lyrical concept of solitude and loneliness has been given a stronger meaning during the past 1.5 years." Tuomas Saukkonenstates.

Flames of Perdition is now available for pre-order digitally, in different vinyl colors, as digipak CD or in various merch bundles here:
