Today marks the release of “As Above, So Below,” the first single from the upcoming, yet-to-be-titled album by Finnish melodic death metal titans Before The Dawn. Accompanied by a striking music video produced by Winter Notes Production, the track sets the stage for what promises to be the band’s most intense and powerful offering to date. Watch the video here:
Before officially dropping today, “As Above, So Below” already made its mark with an exclusive radio premiere on Wednesday via Finland’s leading rock station, Radio Rock. The song, written by band mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen, is inspired by the Hermetic principles and the duality of all things within us, embodying the essence of Finnish melodic death metal at its most dynamic and evocative.
Things just kept getting better and better after the release of the comeback album ‘Stormbringers’, and the chemistry in the band is at an all-time high.

After a triumphant return in 2023 following an eleven-year hiatus, Before The Dawn wasted no time and channeled the momentum from their first European tour in over a decade and a stellar festival season straight into the studio. Recorded once again at guitarist Juho Räihä’s studio, the single captures the raw energy and dark melodic beauty that fans have come to love and expect.
We are beyond stoked and extremely excited to have new music out, shortly after that jumping on the buss with legendary Swallow The Sun to support them on their EU tour and overall kickstart a new era for the band with our new partners of Reaper Entertainment
With “As Above, So Below,” Before The Dawn delivers a masterclass in modern melodic death metal—blending aggression with haunting melodies, relentless intensity with moments of Nordic serenity. And this is only the beginning. Stay tuned for more details on the full album release coming soon.
Before then, the band will hit the road in April as part of an epic tour with Swallow The Sun.
