Swallow The Sun Swallow The Sun
a Doomdeath band from Finland   flag

official  myspace  
Last Update: September 30, 2008

info

Standard yet accomplished doomdeath from this Finnish band who formed in 2000. The songs are sprawling, epic, and ponderous, almost reach funeral doom in tempo and atmosphere, though with just enough melody to keep things from becoming too dreary. Doomdeath isn't quite the most popular metal genre these days, so it's good to hear a band do the style right.

Recent album: New Moon, released November 04, 2009.
