Before The Dawn sign to Napalm Records

BEFORE THE DAWN have signed to Napalm Records!

Formed in 1999 by WOLFHEART‘s Tuomas Saukkonen, the Finnish melodic death metal band enjoyed an initial and fruitful career through the release of seven full-length studio records before disbanding in 2013.

Now, the band are back and have signed with Napalm Records! They are currently back in the studio with their new lineup (previous guitarist and vocalist Saukkonen has moved behind the drums, and talented Voice Of Finland 2022 finalist Paavo Laapotti has taken on all vocalist duties) recording the long-awaited follow-up to 2012’s Rise Of The Phoenix.

Speaking about the band joining the Napalm roster, Sebastian Münch, A&R, says, “Tuomas Saukkonen and I have been working together with WOLFHEART for a couple years now and from time to time we talked about bringing BEFORE THE DAWN back. Last year, when the band released the single The Final Storm, I was absolutely amazed by how good the new song turned out. Now being part of releasing a new full length studio album, and it being the first one in over a decade, is a great honor!”

Tuomas Saukkonen adds, “one cornerstone of the BEFORE THE DAWN comeback plan and fundamental criteria was that we needed to find strong enough partners, in addition to our long time Fin label Stay Heavy Records, that will raise the band to a whole new level after a decade of slumber. We could not be happier about the newly signed contract with the mighty Napalm Records and we are absolutely ecstatic for the fact that the new BEFORE THE DAWN album will be in the best possible hands when it sees the light of the day worldwide in 2023.”
