Archive material and source history
Swallow the Sun formed in Finland in 1999. Their music tends toward somber melodies and introspective lyrics, with songs like 'Moonflowers Bloom In Misery' and 'Stone Wings' showing their blend of melody and gloom. The band's lineup has included vocalist Mikko Kotamäki, guitarist Juha Raivio, and drummer Kai Hahto.
Their debut album 'The Morning Never Came' arrived in 2003, followed by releases like 'Ghosts of Loss' in 2005 and 'Hope' in 2007, which featured Katatonia's Jonas Renkse on guest vocals. Later work includes the 2012 album 'Emerald Forest and the Blackbird' and the trilogy 'Songs from the North' released between 2015 and 2019.
They put out 'Moonflowers Bloom In Misery' in 2021, continuing with their established sound. The band's catalog reflects a consistent approach to melancholic metal over more than two decades.
