Swallow The Sun – Ninth Studio Album Detailed

Melodic death doomers Swallow The Sun announce Shining as their next full length instalment, due out October 18 through Century Media Records. It was produced and mixed by Dan Lancaster. Recorded by Juho Räihä and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios. Alongside unveiled details, give a spin to the first single “What I Have Become”.

Guitarist Juha Raivio comments on Shining: “After our last album it soon became clear to me that writing another Moonflowers album will kill me. So, I made a quiet wish to myself that if there ever will be any new music then please have a little bit of mercy on yourself rather than be that infinite black hole that will suck out the rest of your remaining light and soul just for the sake of it. Musically this album shines like a glacier diamond and has that power and punch that feels like a kick in your face! While lyrically the album deals how fearing life will eventually kill you and how melancholy can become your God.

“We want to thank all the support and trust from Century Media, not to mention our insanely talented producer Dan Lancaster having the balls and guts to jump straight in the deep end with this band and get us out from our comfort zone. This album truly feels like a sunrise in the night sky.”
