Info:

BEFORE THE DAWN, brought to life in 1999 by mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen, has already released three albums on Locomotive Records, before they got signed to the Finnish Label STAY HEAVY for their fourth effort ‘Deadlight’; licensed from now on to CYCLONE EMPIRE for the European market.

’Deadlight’ got released in June 2007 and manifested the good reputation of the band with its highly hit-quality songs. The reactions, either by the fans or the press, were mostly great or overwhelming.

As an announced Spain-tour got cancelled by the organizers shortly before its kickoff, BEFORE THE DAWN only played some Finnish shows (e.g. at the Finnish Metal Expo) and Open Airs like Tuska and Ruka, as well as finally in Germany at the mighty WACKEN OPEN AIR!
More tours and gigs are planned!

Having recorded ’Deadlight’ mostly on his own, Tuomas and the boys started in 2008 to write and record for the first time together as a band. The result is the fifth album ’Soundscape Of Silence’ which you are about to experience now.
