River of Tuoni is the first full-length studio album by Finnish symphonic power metal band Amberian Dawn.

The songs "River of Tuoni" and "My Only Star" from the album were the first Amberian Dawn tracks to have a music video recorded, in May of 2008 and January of 2009 respectively.^[1][2]

The bonus track "Dreamchaser" is an instrumental version of a song by Atheme One, a band which featured founding Amberian Dawn members Tuomas Seppälä, Tommi Kuri, Heikki Saari and Tom Sagar. The song appeared on the band's demo, which had a limited release in 2006 and was later sold through Amberian Dawn's forum and Facebook group in December of 2010.^[3]

"River Of Tuoni", "My Wings Are My Eyes", "Lullaby", "Valkyries", "Fate Of The Maiden", "My Only Star", "The Curse", "Passing Bells", "Sunrise", "Evil Inside Me", and "Dreamchaser" are featured as downloadable songs on the Rock Band Network.
