Background information über 'Shining'

In their latest endeavor, Swallow the Sun presents "Shining," a melancholic tapestry woven with the threads of Gothic and Doom Metal. The Finnish sextet plunges into the depths of human emotion with a haunting soundscape that echoes through every track. From the opener "Innocence Was Long Forgotten" to the epic closer "Shining," each piece is a testament to their ability to blend atmospheric melodies with crushing riffs.

The album showcases an intricate interplay between Juha Raivio’s guitar work and Mikko Kotamäki’s versatile vocals, oscillating between ethereal whispers and guttural growls. This sonic journey is further enriched by Dan Lancaster's masterful production, capturing the band's distinct sound while pushing new boundaries. With thoughtful lyrics and complex arrangements, "Shining" stands as a monumental addition to Swallow the Sun's discography, inviting listeners into their shadowy realm.
