One of my favorite bands from Finland is going to be spreading their overwhelming depressing and crushing way through North America this fall, and will be bringing a new album with them! This is the type of death / doom metal that makes you want to crawl inside a tree in a frozen forest and remain forever. Dates Inside!
Today Finnish death/doom collective SWALLOW THE SUN are pleased to announce a North American tour this fall supporting German metal legends Kreator and Accept! The North American Teutonic Terror Attack will commence on September 5, 2012 in Washington D.C. and annihilate 23 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada. Additional support will come from Canadian death metallers Blackguard. Exclusive internet pre-sale tickets are available online at EnterTheVault.com through May 26. General tickets go on sale May 27 through all regular ticketing outlets.
On their fifth stateside tour, SWALLOW THE SUN will bring the fruits of their latest offering, Emerald Forest and the Blackbird, set for North American release through Spinefarm Records U.S. later this year. Noted by Global Domination for its juggling of “disparate elements such as beautiful melody, lumbering, doomy riffs, black/death-growling, and a mood of gothy melancholy in such a way that no one aspect ever comes to overshadow the others,” the 10-track recording entered the official chart in Finland at position No. 2 upon its European release. Emerald Forest and the Blackbird was recorded during September and October 2011 by Mikko Karmila (Nightwish, Amorphis, Children Of Bodom) at Drumforest Studios in Viitasaari and Sonic Pump 2 in Helsinki by Hannu Honkonen at Noisework Studios, also in Helsinki. The effort was mixed by Hiili Hiilesmaa (Him, Apocalyptica, Amorphis, Moonspell) and mastered by Mika Jussila (Nightwish, Amorphis, Sentenced) at Finnvox Studios.
