Swallow The Sun Album Details

2009-07-23 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 24 Comments
Finnish death/doom metal group Swallow The Sun will release their fifth studio album New Moon on November 9 via Spinefarm UK.

Guitarist and chief songwriter Juha Raivo commented: "This new record is the most progressive, sorrowful, beautiful and evil one we have done so far. This time around, you can never be sure where the songs are going to take you. The depths of hell and heaven are carved deep into these songs.”

Drummer Kai Hinto of compatriots Wintersun appears on the album, filling the void left by departed band member Pasi Pasanen.

Tracklist:

1. These Woods Breathe Evil
2. Falling World
3. Sleepless Swans
4. And Heavens Cried Blood
5. New Moon
6. Lights on the Lake (Horror pt. III)
7. Servant of Sorrow
8. Weight of the Dead

I can't wait to hear "Lights on the lake (horror pt. III)". They are always my favorites.

First Plague Of Butterflies than Twilight adaption. This band progressively gets gayer and gayer.

The Morning Neevr Came was good though, after that...

This new record is the most progressive, sorrowful, beautiful and evil one we have done so far.
Most progressive album so far? They'd have to release a punk album to become less progressive. Oh, and it's the most beautiful AND evil they've ever done. Why does that sound familiar - that's right, because every metal bands says this shit and it's never fucking true.

Coincidence or clever marketing scheme for the titling of New Moon?

I wish bands told the truth. They could just say, yeah it's a re-hash of our last album cuz it sold a kajillion copies and made us all rich.

Word of advice: Dont. Listen to Daylight Dies instead.

If you're looking for good doom and not purple emotive avoid STS unless you get their first album which is cool. Otherwise go to last fm and preview them there.

Daylight Dies is nowhere near as good as Swallow The Sun. Or were. Swallow The Sun have just kept going downhill because they don't know how to write new tunes.

Maybe this one will have some new stuff, or maybe it's just another rehash of The Morning Never Came. We'll have to see.

I like Daylight Dies, but swallow the sun is better imo. Probably just because they were my intro to Doom.
