Before The Dawn’s new album “Cold Flare Eternal” out now – official music video online

“Cold Flare Eternal” emerges from the shadows – the new album by Finnish melodic death metal veterans Before The Dawn is out now via Reaper Entertainment.

A work of stark contrasts and emotional depth, “Cold Flare Eternal” blends crushing heaviness with soaring melancholy, delivering a sound both devastating and deeply human. It’s an album shaped by clarity of vision, cinematic atmosphere, and the unmistakable Scandinavian sense of darkness and beauty.

Released alongside the album is the powerful new track “Stronghold”, which the band describes as:

Like a punch in the face delivered with love and powered with anvil heavy guitars, profoundly massive growls, hammering drums and beyond epic melody. That is Stronghold. Musical embodiment of straightforward bone bounding metal.

Watch the official video clip here:

Where previous the single “Shockwave” channeled aggression and fire, “Cold Flare Eternal” widens the scope – weaving together massive riffs, introspective melodies, and a haunting emotional weight that lingers long after the final note fades.

After their celebrated return with “Stormbringers” and a year of intense touring, “Cold Flare Eternal” is more than a follow-up – it’s a statement of purpose. A record that doesn’t just demand to be heard, but felt.
