Tracedawn is a Finnish melodic death metal band created in 2005 by guitarist/vocalist Tuomas Yli-Jaskari.

He started by creating the instrumental version of a song that would eventually become Without Walls (from their self-titled debut album).

He then found five other members and together they recorded a well-received demo album entitled Path of Reality.

In late 2007, they signed a contract with Redhouse Finland Music Publishing, after which they released a four-song EP.

The new album was supported with a tour across Europe with several famous Finnish metal bands, including Ensiferum and Stratovarius.
