AMBERIAN DAWN: More Details Revealed About Upcoming Album

Finnish female-fronted metal band AMBERIAN DAWN has returned to Rockstar Productions studio in Hyvinkää, Finland to begin recording its sophomore album for a 2009 release. The CD will feature 12 songs plus a bonus track for the Japanese edition.

Comented guitarist Tuomas Seppälä: "Guitarist Kasperi [Heikkinen] has grown perfectly into the band and the music of AMBERIAN DAWN has evolved one step further and continues the path of the debut album."

AMBERIAN DAWN has been confirmed for the Dames of Darkness festival, set to take place September 27 at The Asylum in Birmingham, England. The band will also perform at the Underworld in Camden, England on Friday, September 26.

"River of Tuoni", the new video from AMBERIAN DAWN, can be viewed below. The clip was directed by Matti Kuusniemi in Jyväskylä and features animated 3D graphics in the spirit of the lyrics in addition to the powerful band performance in a studio environment.

AMBERIAN DAWN had its debut album, "River of Tuoni", released in European territories outside of Finland on June 16 via Ascendance Records. Tracks from the CD can currently be streamed on the group's MySpace page.

The band previously stated: "Our [Finnish] label, Suomen Musiikki, has defined AMBERIAN DAWN's music as fantasy metal, but as always, the genre borders are very thin and hard to define. Our music has definitely fantasy in its lyrics... but melody and rhythm are the key components."

Heidi Parviainen - Vocals
Tuomas Seppälä - Guitar and Keyboards
Kasperi Heikkinen - Rhythm Guitar
Tommi Kuri - Bass
Tom Sagar - Keyboards
