Please Swallow The Sun, don't ever stop making music. There is no other band like you!

This song is maybe the best Mikko has ever sounded. Also Aleah's necklace at the end

Mikko's voice is unbelievably good.

When the nazgul formed a band

The successful band for the pure hearts...how beautiful melodic voice have mikko!! The best singer ever!!! Respect sir!

I've just realised it's Aleah's necklace in the ring of torches at the end of the video... this just killed me. Patiently waiting for my copy to arrive now so that I can cry some more.

The dynamic and emotional range of this song is immense. I really love it.

Dark lyrics and magical music , long live swallow the sun

LYRICS Opciones I'm drowning In this black stream Of sunken dreams Under the water I'm breathing in I'm breathing (The phantoms, the nightmares) And the firelights Upon the waters burning On the aisle of time Where golden torches burning bright Touch the raven eyes now All tides of dark are turning Trust in the night now Inside the fires burning bright I'm floating Upon this black stream Of broken dreams Upon the water I'm bleeding I'm bleeding (The phantoms, the nightmares) And the firelights Upon the waters burning On the aisle of time Where golden torches burning bright Touch the raven eyes now All tides of dark are turning Trust in the night now Inside the fires burning bright Pull me under Under these black waves Fill my lungs with your fire Their poison ropes cut into my hands Drown me down to your abyss Blind my eyes with your blades I drag you with me into these flames And all that remains Are ashes Of phantoms Of fears And the firelights Upon the waters burning On the aisle of time Where golden torches burning bright Touch the raven eyes now All tides of dark are turning Trust in the night now Inside the fires burning bright

Mikko Kotamaki... What CAN'T this man sing? Srsly, he does every kind of vocals so good! Amazing voice.

dark hoodie force.

This band is phenomenally good, I’ve been a fan since the very very beginning, and I’ve actually had the pleasure of meeting all the guys and getting their signatures. This album has me super excited

R.I.P. Aleah... such a remembrance! *Awe*

Another amazing song from these guys. This album is going to be fantastic. I love the new direction and what the new guys are bringing to the table. This is a wonderful tribute to Aleah.

I love this band and have been looking forward to this record for a long time. Simply amazing music. Rest In Peace Aleah.

I found these guys on accident a few months ago on Spotify on a random metal playlist that I was just browsing because I was bored. And I'm glad I did. They are an amazing band that needs more recognition as well as When A Shadow Is Forced Into the Light is a masterpiece.

Beautiful. They've made my day, yet again.

holy shit, the mix and production on this is amazing

Just found this song and it describes my life in 2019. I started to live again during the first half of the pandemic year again. STS and the Music of Aleah helped me through the struggle I felt inside myself. I started with healing myself again and the peaces of my heart sticked slowly together. Never underestimate the power of music 💗.

Jaani Peuhu added so much to the band. I absolutely love his solo works and Iconcrash, and never thought he'd fit so well with Sawllow The Sun.

This is already a contender for album of the year. Seriously.

What a beautiful track... The second I have money in my account again I'm buying this album on vinyl!

BEAUTIFUL! It's all that I can say! R.I.P. Aleah

[Verse 1] I'm drowning In this black stream Of sunken dreams Under the water I'm breathing in I'm breathing (The phantoms, the nightmares) [Chorus] And the firelights Upon the waters burning On the isle of time Where golden torches burning bright Touch to realize now All tides of dark are turning Trust in the night now Inside the fires burning bright [Verse 2] I'm floating Upon this black stream Of broken dreams Upon the water I'm bleeding I'm bleeding (The phantoms, the nightmares) [Chorus] And the firelights Upon the waters burning On the isle of time Where golden torches burning bright Touch to realize now All tides of dark are turning Trust in the night now Inside the fires burning bright [Post-Chorus] Pull me under Under these black waves Fill my lungs with your fire Their poison ropes cut into my hands [Bridge] Drown me down to your abyss Blind my eyes with your blades I drag you with me into these flames And all that remains Are ashes Of phantoms Of fears

I'm new to this band, but this is ABSOLUTELY MASTERFULLY DONE. Definitely checking more into their work.

Best Art Album ever !!!! THis is a spezial Musik from Man of the North My Heart and my Soul is with you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Greetings from Germany

I *LOVE* how _both_ Aleah and Mikk can sing songs that help me grasp Immortality and the endless nature of our deepest core. I hope they have their own guides helping them navigate the stars and immaterial, as empowering for their journey as they have been for mine... 💖🖤💖

No words can describe how beautiful this song ...and the soul of aleah was here in this song the end of the video killed me We Love You Aleah ...You Will Be Always Alive In Our Hearts I'm Bleeding From Inside I Can't Believe Yet You Left Us May Your Angelic Soul Rest In Peace Wharever You Are 🖤💔🖤

Amazing song from an amazing album.

This is so beautifully dark. I freaking love it.

One of their bests songs ever, an absolute HIT!!!

Man this is good... Pre-ordered the Album for sure and can't wait to have it! Hails from Germany

Appena leggo "Swallow The Sun..." metto "mi piace" senza nemmeno ascoltare...sono una garanzia! Indiscutibilmente una delle migliori band in circolazione al momento.

I bought a ticket to the CoB tour JUST to see this band. So worth every penny.

I know I'm late to this party but I've just come across this band, these boys are outstanding this song got so much heavier when I found out the meaning

Back to the their best stellar sound, perfect mix of heaviness and melody!

That’s what you expect from the finnish giants 👌🏻

Wow, their lyrics remind me so much of my writing poetry style. Great band.

Century media has made an excellent move by signing these guys. I used to be a huge fan of Century Media back in Mitch Lucker days. They had all the bands I loved hearing. And now it is happening again. Swallow the Sun is going to be huge.

I seriously wept almost the whole time listening to this album tonight. So many references to the nightingale. May she live on in our memories and hearts for eternity.

This is so good I'm speechless. A real work of art.

This will be one of the best albums of this year

Their performance at the concert I went to was so good!!! I love this song😊

This is devastating and so sad . I lost my love and soulmate but life goes on till we reunite again. In heaven 😢

This song is mesmerizing.

Gorgeous, epic, lovely stuff. Looking forward to the album, will be keeping an eye out for UK tour dates too.

Best song of the year so far... Almost perfect, probably perfect 👌 goosebump enducing! Thank you STS

Dude I want someone to play this in my funeral...

Yesterday the CD arrived and I just finished listening to it, and... it's hard to describe what I feel now. It's mesmerizing, beautiful, beyond anything I've heard before. It's the very first album with music that I actually bought, and I can say that it was well worth it. The feelings in Your music are incredibly deep, I identify with it very much. And I want to assure you that I am praying for you Guys every day, so we can one day meet in Heaven, along with Aleah, and sing all of Your masterpieces for eternity. It gives me enormous hope that the sadness is only temporary. I wish You all the best! Love from Poland - Love that is always stronger than death!

favorite song of 2019 so far

One of the few albums I've ever heard where an extraordinarily heavy band went mostly softer and I enjoyed it just about as much as the rest of their material. I see good things happening to these guys because of this.

This guys were so good live opening for dark tranquility it was amazing . Front row and totally absorbed by the sound .

This is probably gonna be my album of the Year ❤️

It’s only January and this is already shaping up to be album of the year. I love how much this band has grown since the last album. This song is so good and the video is simple but effective. Good job!

3 years of Aleah being gone. Still in absolute shock. All of Juha's music has been such an amazing tribute.

Probably the best chorus of 2019. Superb. Superb.

Absolutely Beautiful! Added to the Ever Metal KZfaq and Spotify Playlists

I want this band to get more and more famous and viral so the world know this pure gem band that we have 💎❤

I LOVE THESE GUYS ALOT.....WOW !!!! HOW GOOD their band is..so good !!!!!!,,, SO GLAD and SO LUCKY to have found them !!!! There ARE still unexpected surprises in life !!!!! Bands like this..have something special inside their souls...I can see that....

Dark, morbid, melancholy, beautiful, poetic

Once again, great job guys! Now I’m even more hyped for the album! One week to goooooo!

I'm a simple man, I hear violins, I bow.

Inside, the fires burning bright...! My GOD the emotion!

It's awesome to see these guys with more stardom. They deserve it!! True metal artist

Simply amazing, beautillfly haunting

Absolutely incredible..Bravo!!

Century just keeps on having quality bands on its label, thank you for that!!!

Never disappointed. Happy to say this is my fav band ever.

Tô viciado nas músicas ❤️🤘

This is so magical. Horrifying and beautiful at the same time. Masterpiece.

Swallow the Sun doing amazing stuff once again. Never a bad song, never a bad video. Such perfect band. No wonder is my fav in all metal.

This song leaves me in bits.

Oooh man... The song is marvellous

This album truly is not for the faint hearted. I almost could not make it to the end. Lyrics are crushingly hard, I mean, death has never taken someone I loved. But I am dead to someone who I truly loved, so I lost her forever. That feeling to loose someone so close to you is one of the worst, if not the worst feeling someone can ever feel. And this album just splatters it out to your face.

You guys really went all out with this album. It's brilliant. I mean it's not often that I put an entire album on loop because one play through just isn't enough.

favorite band. Thank you for your world and unearthly music :) forever in my heart

This is too much after Upon the Water. Already know I'm gonna love and cry the whole album

The finnish masters 🤘

Very beautiful song...enchanting atmosphere from the very beginning.

Going to be a brilliant album off these lads once again.

Proud to be a fan of this fantastic band.

They've really progressed from the on STS album I have which is the 2008 release Hope. This and the other song I've heard of their forthcoming album are super good. I love the use of more clean vocals and the increased level of musicianship.

True musicians know how to make something small gradually bigger

One of best 2019 albums yet!

For me, there's never a bad song. I love this band so much. Can't wait for the new album... The scene at the end with Aleah’s necklace tugged at my heart strings.

Definitely much darker than before. I'm getting the Hallatar feeling during this song and that's fucking awesome! New album is gonna be great!!

STS have perfected the art of projecting loads of feeling without showing off. Respect!

I was thinking "I want this to be heavier" and then bam! 03:23 happened. I am a big fan of this band, glad to see they have new music out.

Swallow the sun is my life! Eternal love, somehow reminds me of "with you came the whole of the world tears!"

Why am I just now finding this doom masterpiece????

they simply goes better and better and better in every year and every album. they're now one of the best metal bands. Cheers

This album is 2 for 2 so far. Fantastic song; great chorus and the growls added just the right amount of intensity. Looks like we've got a masterpiece on the horizon!

Video reminds me of Ghost Brigade's Clawmaster video (the hoods) and music reminds me of End of Green more than of any previous StS work, even SFTN2. Love it!

StS is truly a musical gem. Shame theyre not too well known.

i know nothing of this band..nor heard of them...can only say..the production on this track was realy good..ominously dark and melodic and the screechy voice was done very well..allot of bands that attempt that vocal style.fail miserably because you cannot discern what they are singing,,but this guys vocals were very clear for that style...again the production on this track was stellar especially the drums...thumbs up

I love this band so much.

That's why everybody adores you! Another masterpiece

Primera vez escuchando esta banda Swallow The Sun y me ha gustado

OLD SWALLOW THE SUN POWER!!! I've been waiting for this for years!

Masterpiece,cheers from Argentina.
