SWALLOW THE SUN Announce New Album Shining By Larry Petro, News Monkey Sunday, August 18, 2024 @ 9:12 AM
The new record is produced and mixed by Dan Lancaster (Bring Me the Horizon, Muse, Enter Shikari), mastered by Tony Lindgren (Fascination Street Studios), and recorded by Juho Raiha at SoundSpiral Audio, except vocals recorded by Dan Lancaster.
Juha Raivio comments on the new song:
""What I Have Become" is about that moment when you look yourself deep in the eye from the mirror and your own eyes start to tell what your soul has become instead of what you always wanted it to be. The hardest thing is to forgive yourself and break that circle."

About Shining Juha Raivio adds:
"After our last album, it soon became clear to me that writing another Moonflowers album would kill me. So, I made a quiet wish to myself that if there ever will be any new music then please have a little bit of mercy on yourself rather than be that infinite black hole that will suck out the rest of your remaining light and soul just for the sake of it. Musically this album shines like a glacier diamond and has that power and punch that feels like a kick in your face! While lyrically the album deals with how fearing life will eventually kill you and how melancholy can become your God.
We want to thank all the support and trust from Century Media, not to mention our insanely talented producer Dan Lancaster having the balls and guts to jump straight in the deep end with this band and get us out of our comfort zone. This album truly feels like a sunrise in the night sky."

More than two decades of despair, beauty, and heartache have not only shaped but fueled Finnish melancholy torchbearers, the chart-topping and two-time Finnish Grammy nominated SWALLOW THE SUN.
Formed in Jyvaskyla in 2000, the quintet has enjoyed numerous fan-lauded music videos (10+ million YouTube views) and streaming dominance (50+ million Spotify plays), while also embarking on a four-continent, 900-show run over the course of their 20-year career.
Their new music, however, is the group's first step on the new path to the unknown.
