Swallow the Sun - When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light (CD)

Details: 2019 release from Finnish melancholy death-doom metal masters Swallow the Sun. Fueled by personal loss and powered by the will to continue, When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light showcases the group's ability to maintain it's signature sound while expanding upon horizons and diving deeper into the crevasse of doom-death metal. Even though the single "Lumina Aurea" and the album are conceptually connected, they are musically completely different. While "Lumina Aurea" - featuring Wardruna's Einar Selvik and The Foreshadowing's Marco I. Benevento - marks the band's darkest and most sinister piece of music the band has ever released, When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light follows a more positive approach and continues in the vein of previous albums - first-rate death-doom in the typical style of Swallow the Sun.
