With “Shockwave”, Finnish melodic death metal powerhouse Before The Dawn present the fourth and fiercest single from their upcoming album Cold Flare Eternal, due out on September 5th, 2025 via Reaper Entertainment.
A crushing storm of groove, aggression, and raw power, “Shockwave” reveals a new, heavier facet of the band – while still carrying their signature blend of melody and melancholy. Thundering riffs, pounding drums and an explosive vocal performance mark this song as a future live favorite.
The band comments:
“Shockwave is the heaviest single we have ever released with Before The Dawn and contains the fire of a thousand suns and the weight of a dying star. A grand embodiment of the energy inside the band! Can’t wait to get to play this banger on the fall tour.”

After their triumphant comeback with “Stormbringers” and a busy 2024 full of festivals and headline shows, “Cold Flare Eternal” promises to push the band’s sound into new extremes – emotionally and sonically.
