SWALLOW THE SUN-HOPE

[Illnath]

I saw the Hope album today at the record store, I'm gonna buy it next month.:Smug:

Methinks Jonas should've sung on every song, 'cause The Justice of Suffering owns immensely

 

[LifeDepraved]

agreed.

I got the new album sent to me by a friend in Finland and man the album rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has a touch of old Amorphis in it, thats nice. But its good album to listen to when you want heavy but not speed and with a good dose of feeling. I really am so exited that this band is breaking through from Finland.

Favorite track: The Hours of Despair

 

[Jesse Pohjalainen]

I think it's a really, really good album. But not as good as the previous ones, because the previous two are masterpieces

thank you for this thread doom death. I had never heard of Swallow the Sun until now. I checked out their myspace and boy do they own! the live video performance of Descending Winter is fuckin rad!

I just finished the review of this album for metalunderground.com..
I see some of you asking for Jonas' lyric part in Justice of Suffering, here are the lyrics for this song, Jonas part is bolded.

~The Justice of Suffering~

I curse the love for you
And the pale souls you have tasted
The sings of filthy passion
Will soon turn to cries of pain
When I claim what is mine
Through the justice of suffering

When the paying of her sins come closer
The night will end in tears
And the moment you dirt her skin with your fingers
You will be sentenced the same
Every second with her I count
And for every second you will suffer too

No light will save them now
When the words of hope have all been spoken
And I wash the blood from my hands
And let them lie silent and cold on the flowers

For my anger is greater
Than the hand that once swept your cheek
And my anger is greater
Than the human I was
I will claim that is mine
Through the justice of suffering

No light will save them now
When the words of hope have all been spoken
And I wash the blood from my hands
And let them lie silent and cold on the flowers

Is this poison in your womb
Worth of the burning flesh
In this pyre of ghost lovers

But every second with her I count
And for every second you will suffer too
The night will end…
It will end in tears soon

If you enjoyed the feel of this song, I recommend checking out "These Low Lands" which is regrettably a b-side of "Don't Fall Asleep" single, but one of the best StS songs ever in my opinion.

Swallow the Sun is an amazing band, Hope is one of the greatest albums so far this year.
