Биография
Swallow the Sun is a Finnish extreme metal band whose sound melds classic funeral doom with elements of melodic death and gothic metal, Scandinavian folk melodies and beautifully dark atmospherics. As proven by their debut album, The Morning Never Came (2003), their sound balances often lithe, crystalline piano interludes alongside crushing guitar and bass riffs, nearly tribal low-tuned drums, wafting keyboards and the unearthly vocals. Finnish melodic doom torchbearers have returned from the darkest corners to enchant us once again with brand-new full-length, Moonflowers. The much-anticipated follow-up to the group’s straight-to-#1 (Official Finnish Albums Chart), Emma Gaala-nominated (Finnish Grammys) When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light (2019) supersedes previous lodestars “Firelights,” “Stone Wings,” and “Lumina Aurea.” If Swallow the Sun couldn’t get any heavier emotionally, Moonflowers piles on markedly. Across the 52-minute effort, primary songwriter Juha Raivio spills everything he’s got into songs like “Moonflowers Bloom in Misery,” “Enemy,” “Keep Your Heart Safe from Me,” and riveting album-capper “This House Has No Home.” Likewise, the artwork for Moonflowers is complementary in its tragic heft. Instead of commissioning the album art to an outside party, Raivio used dried flowers he had collected as well as his own blood to paint the moon that adorns the starkly graceful cover. Moonflowers is yet another downhearted triumph for Swallow the Sun.
