Swallow The Sun album details

2011-11-09 by Metalstyles | 20 Comments
Swallow The Sun will release their fifth full-length album, titled Emerald Forest And The Blackbird, on February 1st, 2012 via Spinefarm Records. According to the band, the album will feature 10 tracks of the trademark Swallow The Sun sound of gloom, beauty and despair.

Guitarist and songwriter Juha Raivio had this to say: "I found myself listening to an old Finnish lullaby called "Sininen Uni" over and over again, and suddenly images started pouring into my mind of a dad reading a tale to his dying child, trying to explain where the child is going that night, the tale of Emerald Forest And The Blackbird.

Finally this image lead me into a long journey through this night and got me trapped in the limbo between the dusk and the dawn. The place where you face your demons and angels, meet the souls of the ones you loved and lost. Will we walk the night forever, or let the night forgive us and let us say a last goodbye? These are songs from the limbo, notes of sorrow, hate, love, darkness and light. The tale of Emerald Forest And The Blackbird."


Tracklist:
01. Emerald Forest And The Blackbird
02. This Cut Is The Deepest
03. Hate, Lead The Way
04. Cathedral Walls [featuring Anette Olzon]
05. Hearts Wide Shut
06. Silent Towers
07. Labyrinth Of London (Horror Pt. IV)
08. Of Death And Corruption

You call it god, I'll worship the sun
without all her fire there won't be anyone.
