{"product_id":"before-the-dawn-deathstar-rising-lp-coloured","title":"Before The Dawn - Deathstar Rising - LP COLOURED","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Deathstar Rising” stands as one of the defining chapters in BEFORE THE DAWN’s catalogue — a record shaped by renewed energy, growing confidence, and a strong sense of forward motion within the band. At the time of writing, the group was becoming increasingly active as a touring force across Finland and Europe, which fed directly into the motivation and momentum behind the album.\u003cbr\u003eA key factor in the creative leap of “Deathstar Rising” was the introduction of drummer Atte Palokangas (later known for his work with Beast In Black), whose powerful and precise performance elevated the band’s sound significantly and helped shape the identity of the record.\u003cbr\u003eThe writing and recording process itself was notably smooth and positive. With upcoming touring plans across Europe and Asia already in place and a licensing deal with Nuclear Blast confirmed for Europe, the band entered the studio with strong confidence and an optimistic outlook. Rather than pressure, there was a clear sense of excitement and collective drive.\u003cbr\u003eMusically and emotionally, “Deathstar Rising” marked a clear step forward compared to previous BEFORE THE DAWN releases. It captured a band growing into its identity with greater strength, clarity, and ambition — both in songwriting and execution.\u003cbr\u003eMore than a decade later, the album still resonates strongly with fans and remains an important part of the band’s live legacy during the current “second coming” of BEFORE THE DAWN, with selected songs still featured in the setlist. At the same time, the album has long been unavailable on vinyl and the original CD edition has been sold out for years, making this first-ever vinyl release on 22.08.2026 via Reaper Entertainment a highly anticipated moment.\u003cbr\u003eFor Tuomas Saukkonen, revisiting this era feels both exciting and rewarding — a reminder of a time when everything was moving forward with clarity and momentum, and a record that continues to stand tall within the band’s history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003eSide A:\u003cbr\u003e1 The First Snow\u003cbr\u003e2 Winter Within\u003cbr\u003e3 Deathstar\u003cbr\u003e4 Rememberance\u003cbr\u003e5 Unbroken\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B:\u003cbr\u003e6 Judgement\u003cbr\u003e7 The Wake\u003cbr\u003e8 Sanctuary\u003cbr\u003e9 Butterfly Effect\u003cbr\u003e10 Wreith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hidden\"\u003eThis item is available for pre-order.
