BEFORE THE DAWN as we know it now will see its end at 25.6.2011 in Nummirock festival, re-groups for 1 month and comes back on stages stronger than ever at Tuska Open Air afterparty 24.7.2011.
1999 formed BEFORE THE DAWN has reached a crossroad after 6th full lengths, numerous tours and gigs in over 20 countries and several label changes that lead the band under the mighty wings of Nuclear Blast in the end of 2010. Past few years have been difficult for the band in many ways and in the end there was only 2 ways to go: Bury the band or continue thru big changes in line up and eventually in the music too.
With mutual decision in the band Lars Eikind (bass/clean vocals) and Atte Palokangas (drums) will no longer be members of BTD after the gig at Nummirock festival 25.6. Decision with Lars was mainly personal and with Atte purely musical. The new style will bring the band closer to melodic death metal and the gothic influences will be part of the bands history.
The band leader and the sole songwriter Tuomas Saukkonen and the lead guitarist Juho Räihä have been the key members of the bands sound since the “Deadlight” album with Tuomas delivering the music and production and Juho working behind the mixing desk in the studio with recordings and also mixing the 2 latest releases. (“Decade of Darkness” and “Deathstar Rising”). Their teamwork will be a guarantee of a top quality in music and production in the future also when the band returns to the studio in winter 2011. BTD will also return the stages of europe in winter 2011 and before that the new line-up will release a digital single and music video “Phoenix Rising” from the forthcoming 7th album.
In the words of the band leader Tuomas Saukkonen: “Current changes were difficult and unfortunate but still inevitable and necessary so that the band could continue and release 7th album as stronger than ever”.
