More about 'When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light'

The Finnish doom-death masters deliver their most emotionally devastating work yet with this deeply personal seventh album.The album "is about my own battle since she passed. The album title, When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light, comes from Aleah's own words, 'When a shadow is forced into the light.' That was exactly what I needed to do."Following the tragic loss of Aleah Stanbridge in 2016, primary songwriter Juha Raivio channels his grief into eight tracks of sublime melancholic beauty.At 52 minutes, this is Swallow the Sun's shortest album ever.The album showcases the band's signature ability to swing between crushing doom passages and delicate atmospheric moments, with Mikko Kotamäki's vocals ranging from vulnerable clean singing to devastating death growls.The album brilliantly widens the musical scope of a genre that has many repetitive elements to it. The album is loaded with tons of feelings and an artistic nuance that stems out of raw emotions coupled with a nostalgia we will never know of.Tracks like "Stone Wings" and "Never Left" demonstrate the band's evolved songwriting approach, incorporating string arrangements and progressive elements while maintaining their doom-death foundation.The most incredible elements in this album definitely are the weeping sound of the strings, the haunting piano, chilling chord progressions, and Mikko Kotamäki's often vulnerable vocals.For fans of:
My Dying Bride, Amorphis, Type O Negative, Anathema, and Katatonia
