Finnish death doom metallers SWALLOW THE SUN have just launched a lyric video for their brand new song “Heartstrings Shattering”, taken from the first part of their upcoming triple album. Check it out below.

“Songs from the North I, II & III” will be released on November 13, 2015 via Century Media Records!

Incorporating dark menace and gradations of death, black and funeral doom, each of the three albums of “Songs from the North I, II & III” embodies the band’s unofficial band motto, “Gloom, Beauty & Despair”:

“Songs from the North I” continues in the vein of the albums before it – first-rate death-doom in the typical style of SWALLOW THE SUN.

“Songs from the North II” is a beautiful, acoustic foray representing the group’s ability to unplug and revel in the darkness.

“Songs from the North III” is the most extreme album, a complete ride into SWALLOW THE SUN’s most horrific abyss of finely-crafted, conscience-crushing funeral doom.

In order to present the new album(s), melancholy death-doom masters SWALLOW THE SUN have announced a European headline tour for November/December 2015! They will be accompanied by fellow countrymen Wolfheart and further support bands that will be announced soon. See below for the exact dates!
