Description: New CD SWALLOW THE SUN MOONFLOWERS from Japan Description Description Finland's Swallow the Sun has released their eighth new album! This album is so dark that guitarist Juha said, "I hate this album," and it is extraordinarily dark, heavy, and abnormally beautiful. A must-listen for fans of epic doom metal, gothic metal, and Nordic metal! Swallow the Sun is a Finnish melodic death metal band. Formed in 2000, they released their debut album The Morning Never Came in 2003. The song Forgive Her from their second album Ghosts of Loss, released in 2005, reached number 4 on the Finnish singles chart. As a result, they signed with Spinefarm Records and became a popular band. After releasing three albums from Spinefarm, Hope (2007), New Moon (2009), and Emerald Forest and the Blackbird (2012), they moved to Century Media, a major label. In 2019, When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light reached number one on the Finnish charts. And now, the release of their eighth album, Moonflowers, two years after their last album, is here. At the beginning, Swallow the Sun was described as a melodic death metal band, but their style is different from the so-called melodic death metal. It is more epic doom metal and gothic than death metal, and is extremely heavy and filled with the gloominess of Scandinavia. Naturally, this album is also disgustingly dark. The thorough and abnormal melancholic nature of the album made guitarist Juha Ravio say, "I hate to say this, but I hate this album. I hate the emotions this album evokes and what this album means." Just listen to it and you'll understand what he's trying to say. This album is condensed with the darkness in his heart. If you are swallowed up by this worldview, you'll think your heart will be broken. On the other hand, there are also many parts where he sings in a sullen voice. The string and piano arrangements are so beautiful that they give you goosebumps. The Finnish lyricism strikes a deep chord in the hearts of Japanese people. This is a must-listen album for fans of epic doom metal, gothic metal, and Scandinavian metal.
