Dawn of Solace have outdone themselves with their new album. Flames of Perdition is dark and doomy metal full of poignant melancholy, beautiful melodies and a perfectly coordinated instrumentation. A wonderful musical start to the new year.

Once again the band made an amazing album! Tuomas is a beast as always and Mikko's vocals are incredible!!! Give it a listen, you won't regret it.
Favorite track: Event Horizon.
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.

When Before The Dawn was preparing to record 3rd album ”The Ghost” Saukkonen realized that he
had over 30 songs
written. First idea was to simply make an double album for BTD but some of the
material written started to sound too slow and dark for BTD style and Saukkonen decided to push that
darker direction a bit further and form a completely new project called Dawn Of Solace....more
