Swallow the Sun

[Dauden]

Anyone like this doom/death band? Absolutely magnificent, I've been meaning to check them out for a while, finally did, and I love it. I have all three of their albums, and they're great, the new one "Hope", is wonderful. They aren't the most original band, but they play with a lot of passion, and the death vocals are so low and delicious. Any fans, favourite songs? "The Justice of Suffering" is probably my favourite song so far.

I love Swallow The Sun, seen them live twice. I like the first album the most, favourite songs being Swallow and Silence of the Womb. Also the Candlemass cover with Albert from Reverend Bizarre singing is really beautiful.

I actually have had the album "Ghosts Of Loss" on my playlist for a least the past week, I really renjoy them.

They've played stuff from Hope on the radio (not commerciali radio hehe) here in Melbourne, and I've really enjoyed it

awesome band.was listening to "Hope" for a week after i got it.
"Morning never came" is a fucking awesome album.

I have Hope on the way in the mail as we speak!

I heard them, they were ok, nothing special. I thought they sounded a little plain.

"Hope" is a pretty damn versatile album. I played it back to back some four times in a row. At the store, mind you. 8) Haven't sold one yet though... Maybe I should play it more when the store is actually open. Haha!
Seriously though, I'll be trying to see them in a couple of weeks when they play a gig with Moonsorrow.

Another fave recent album is Funeral "From these Wounds", by the way. Absolutely amazing doom with which they do their reputation justice. The title track blows me away time after time.

Hah! In the last two weeks or so, I've started getting into two more doom albums. Hope and From These Wounds. How odd...

I really like 'Red Moon', that one's all I've really listened to yet hehe
