Anyone else dig Swallow The Sun?

I will say that they seemed like an odd pick to open up for Kreator and Accept the last time I saw them live, but they fucking ROCKED. So effing heavy; I was already a fan, but their live performance solidified it for me.
 
I like them, particularly their earlier death/doom stuff. Their debut is one of my fav death/doom albums, for me they've never really been able come close to that one. I really haven't been as crazy about their more recent efforts.

A triple album is certainly brave, I am intrigued by each disc being a different style particularly the one they are saying is going to be funeral doom. I can't wait to hear that disc in particular, hope they can pull it off.
 
Their first two were real good but I never saw the need to get their later ones so this triple one will find the same fate...
 
I've only heard "The Morning Never Came" and I thought that was some really good Death Doom. Nice and slow, oozing despair.

Best of the new material so far, I have high hopes for the funeral doom portion of the new album.
 
Still digesting all 3 discs. They are all very different but equally incredible. This is going to take a few listens to really grasp all that's going on here. Amazing stuff!!
 
6 year bump...
