Dawn of Solace

Dawn of Solace is a melodic death metal side-project from Finland, started in 2005 by Tuomas Saukkonen (Before the Dawn, Wolfheart). While in the writing process for the third Before the Dawn album, The Ghost, Saukkonen ended up with over 30 written songs. The first plan was to make a double album for Before the Dawn, but some of the material was slower, more melodic and darker than the songs chosen for The Ghost and Saukkonen wanted to take things further without any limitations that Before the Dawn might create.
