Before the Bleeding Sun is the fifth studio album released by the Finnish melodic death metal band Eternal Tears of Sorrow. The album counts guest performances from Marco Hietala (Tarot and Nightwish), Jarmo Kylmänen (who joined the band in 2008), Sfinx (Ram-Zet) and Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica).

Production

The recording was started in 2005, after the band came back together and reforged their line-up. During the writing and recording processes for this album, the band kept a blog "Studio Diary Blog - The Making of the Fifth Album". It is the band's first album recorded in two different studios (excluding some random recordings on previous albums). Keyboards were recorded by member Janne Tolsa, at his Note On Studios - the rest of the instruments were recorded at Tico-Tico Studios.

It is also the band's third album to include material from two recording sessions. Sinner's Serenade was recorded in July 1996 but also included material from their Bard's Burial demo tape (recorded in October 1994). A Virgin and a Whore was recorded in May 2001 but one of its songs ("Last One for Life") was recorded in December 2000. Before the Bleeding Sun was recorded in two sessions, in spring 2005 and in December 2005-January 2006.
