Back in September, we announced that we were incredibly excited to work with Amberian Dawn on two of their hit tracks, “River of Tuoni” and “He Sleeps in a Grove”.

The RBN preview clips for “River of Tuoni”, the title track from their debut album, and “He Sleeps in a Grove” from their second album, The Clouds of Northland Thunder, have each eclipsed the 2,000 view mark! The “River of Tuoni” preview alone has gathered 3,780 as of today and has only been up for a few months. If our forums and preview comments are any measure of Amberian Dawn’s future in RBN, then their popularity is undisputed. Excited RGS and RBN fans have already vowed to buy their tracks when RBN launches.

As a response to your overwhelming support for Amberian Dawn’s tracks, we are ecstatic to announce that they have signed on to publish 5 more songs with RockGamer Studios. Amberian Dawn’s new tracks on RBN will be “Valkyries”, “Lullaby”, “The Curse”, “Fate of the Maiden” and “Evil Inside Me”, all from their original album River of Tuoni.

“Valkyries” a fan favorite, has already managed to rope in 35,000 hits on YouTube. Lead siren Heidi Parviainen’s lyrics and irrepressibly catchy chorus for “Valkyries” are absolutely entrancing. “The Curse” is an epic journey through technical virtuosity and Tuomas Seppälä’s guitar solo is a guaranteed challenge. We can’t wait to see FCs on this when it comes out! The wave of complication and technicality builds in “Lullaby” with growling background vocals flanking Parvianinen’s cathedral raising sound.

Since RockGamer Studios last checked in with Amberian Dawn, they have successfully toured and have been nominated for a big award. According to their MySpace blog, Amberian Dawn’s sophomore effort, The Clouds of Northland Thunder, has been nominated for a prestigious Metalstorm award for best Atmospheric/Symphonic Band. The Finnish group has also been nominated for the Femma Gaala competition. They are also in the studio working on their third album, which is yet to be titled. Their web site adds that the new album is going to be “more diverse, faster and darker” than their previous albums.
