Before The Dawn share third single ‘Stellar Effect’

With “Stellar Effect”, Finnish melodic death metal masters BEFORE THE DAWN unveil the next chapter from their upcoming studio album Cold Flare Eternal, due out September 5th, 2025 via Reaper Entertainment.

The single is now available on all major streaming platforms: https://lnk.to/StellarEffect

“Stellar Effect” marks a perfect symbiosis of BEFORE THE DAWN’s legacy and their evolution in 2025 – melancholic, atmospheric, yet razor-sharp and powerful. The track weaves together dark gothic influences with the fierce elegance of melodic death metal, highlighting the band’s refined sense for dynamics and emotion.

Tuomas Saukkonen comments:

“Stellar Effect is a perfect combination of the old-school BTD and the band we are in 2025. Sombre gothic metal influences colliding with melodic death metal grandeur. Also, this song truly underlines the massive range that Paavo has with his vocals.”

Following the acclaimed comeback album Stormbringers, numerous festival appearances, and a successful European tour in 2024, BEFORE THE DAWN are entering a new era. Backed by Reaper Entertainment, the band is set to deliver one of their most ambitious and diverse records to date.

“Stellar Effect” is more than just a single – it’s a haunting anthem for those who walk the line between darkness and light. A sonic journey through sorrow, strength, and self-reflection.

In September, the band will go on tour with WOLFHEART:
