Finnish melancholy death-doom metal masters Swallow The Sun have released their latest album When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light. The band will be joining Children Of Bodom’s upcoming North American tour that is set to kickoff March 13th in Quebec City. Additional support will come from Wolfheart, Summer’s Circle, Hollow Cry, and Fragmentum as openers for select dates. The tour starts March 13th in Quebec City and wraps on April 19th in New York City. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.
Watch the music video for “Firelights”, directed and produced by Aapo Lahtela, HERE.
When talking about “Firelights” Swallow The Sun states, “From the ultimate depths of Lumina Aurea we rose upon the water. Now it is time to light the first torches in the night. Death might be stronger than life, but Love is always stronger than death. This is Firelights!”
You can listen to the previously released single “Upon The Water” HERE.
The track “Lumina Aurea” was released as a standalone single already in December 2018. You can watch the stunning video HERE and grab the track HERE.
Swallow The Sun is Mikko Kotamaki (vocals), Matti Honkonen (bass), Juuso Raatkainen (drums), Jaani Peuhu (keys and vocals), Juho Raiha (guitar), and Juha Raivio (guitar and keys).
