Before the Dawn is a melodic Dark Metal band from Finland which started in 1999 as a solo project of Tuomas Saukkonen. During the years, there were some more official members added and some have gone as well. Now Before the Dawn released their 5th album \u201cSoundscape of Silence\u201d the line up consists of three man, as during the recordings their drummer dropped out.
\n
\n\u201cSoundscape of Silence\u201d (isn\u2019t that a great title for a James Bond movie?) is a melodic album with a lot of up tempo songs.
\nMost mentionable point here is the balance between the drums and the melodic parts. From the melodic riffs on the foreground to the drums stepping forward is smoothly arranged. The total sound of Before the Dawn might be compared to what their compatriots Amorphis is doing lately. Often they choose to go for that dark, cold atmosphere that makes you remember to a cold winter as you will get them in Finland.
\nSongs like \u201cDying Sun\u201d and \u201cSavior\u201d are songs that stick in mind. You remember them first as being from the \u201cSoundscape to Silence\u201d album.<\/p>\n

For those who also own the \u201cDeadlight\u201d album, I can only advise to get this album as well, since the album is a logical new step and while \u201cDeadlight\u201d was quite a good one as well, \u201cSoundscape to Silence\u201d tops it! For those who got their earlier albums like \u201c4:17 am\u201d and \u201cThe Ghost\u201d you might be aware that the band has gone quite harder. The vocals are deeper than ever before and the sound has got a vicious edge. Don\u2019t cut yourself while plucking this thorny rose, even though it is the most beautiful one to have in your vase.<\/p>\n\n\n
