Hope

Swallow the Sun

A monolith of Finnish death-doom. Glacial tempos and crushing distortion meet fragile, snow-dusted melodies in a record that feels like an endless winter night.

February 7, 2007 · Spinefarm Records U.K.

A relentless, crushing weight of sorrow balanced by moments of fragile, icy beauty.

Moments Worth Listening For
The guest vocals from Jonas Renkse on The Justice of Suffering providing a fragile counterpoint to the crushing weight.
The transition into the nine-minute sprawl of Too Cold for Tears where the tempo slows to a near-halt.
The way the title track opens with a deceptive melodic warmth before the first distorted chord hits like a landslide.
