The melancholy death/doom masters ‘Swallow The Sun’ will bring
us a bold, adventurous and characteristically dark triple full-length album
entitled "Songs from the North” due out 13th November 2015 via Century Media
Records.
Incorporating dark menace and gradations of death, black and
funeral doom, each of the three albums of embodies the band's unofficial band
motto, "Gloom, Beauty & Despair."
Main songwriter and guitarist Juha Raivio comments on the
triple album concept:
"Making a triple album in this godforsaken digital and modern
day and age... Many will say it's madness. I say it is to bring worth, heart
and respect back into the music and to the album format where it belongs. This
should never turn into a shallow fast food industry where music is only
downloaded one song at a time. These albums hold life, death, gloom, beauty
and despair in their deepest levels and forms. The three chapters are
different but connected, one long journey through these songs written up here
in the North. Music is holy, albums are holy. See you on the other side
friends."
