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 Demon, Flames 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:

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. Praised by fans and critics alike as one of the best albums of the year, the release and the band's resurrection raised high hopes that it won't be another 14 long years until a new full-length is out. Today, the composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer announced the release of Flames of Perdition, the third studio album by DAWN OF SOLACE, out on November 12th via German label Noble Demon.

"Past year has dug a hole in the soul when all touring was stopped and the whole music business suddenly stood still" Tuomas Saukkonen states. "As a proper Fin you either dig yourself out of it or aim deeper. Never stand still! I did not and wrote a new Dawn Of Solace album inspired by that void and loss."

On Flames of Perdition DAWN OF SOLACE will take you on a memorable journey full of electrifying melancholy that evokes profound sadness, a musical trip of incomparable emotion and despair. Keep your ears peeled for more news and tunes to follow in the weeks ahead!
