“Numb”

On January 24th, Wolfheart / Before the Dawn mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen released his critically acclaimed, sophomore solo-album, titled “Waves”, under the flag of DAWN OF SOLACE. Being a true master of his craft, “Waves” is taking the listener on a dark trip of melodic doom soundscapes, being an unchained and exciting affair feeding off of melancholy and progressive rock majesty. Today the Death and Melancholic Doom Metal icon released a brand new and acoustic live performance video for the track “Numb”. Together with friend but also label mate Mikko Heikkilä from Kaunis Kuolematon, who are set to release their brand new full length record via Noble Demon in the not so distant future, DAWN OF SOLACE delivers some top notch Finnish melancholy, crawling directly under your skin.

Tuomas Saukkonen says about the song:
“Since the entire show business went into deep freeze and live shows/concerts/tours were either cancelled or rescheduled into 2021 the relationship with my own music grew a bit more personal and intimate and the best way to reflect that is to strip the arrangements to the core and with less notes, less people (most remote cabin we could find in the Finnish woods) create more melancholy and emotion“

Hungary’s METEORA have released a lockdown video covering LINKIN PARK’s “Numb”.

Stated the band:
“We are proud to let you know, that the bonus track from our fresh LP ‘Tragedy of Delusion’, a cover of Linkin Park’s ‘Numb’ is released as a lockdown video. Thank you for your efforts supporting music, and hope to share more news with you soon! Let me tell you a few thoughts about the release: After we finished writing songs for our second album, we thought squeezing in one more track as a bonus was possible with the time we had left. ’Tragedy of Delusion’ was 10 songs long already, so we weren’t really forced to do it, we just had been toying with the idea of doing a cover for quite some time, and this seemed to be the ideal time. We threw music at eachother in our facebook group, had a few really strong contenders, but in the end Numb won.”

“With the name Meteora we were thought to be a Linkin Park tribute a few times, especially in the beginning, so it was just fitting to do a song of theirs from their second album, ’Meteora’. When giving the name we didn’t have that record in mind to be honest, but the Meteora temples in Greece. Máté was studying architecture at university, and he presented this idea for us some weeks before our first live show. By now it grew on us, and it represents a quiet place above everything, where you can draw back to, and calmly observ the world beneath.”

“We were planning to do a different kind of video for this song, but along with the concerts these ideas were made impossible as well. We didn’t want to keep people hanging though for an undefinite amount of time, so we joined the ’lockdown video movement’. We really hope that people will be open minded about the music, and like the minimalist approach of the video.”
