For all you people who have crying about Amorphis, Paradise Lost, Anathema and Tiamat selling out, here is the new band for you. Swallow The Sun from Finland rip out some old school Doom/Death metal in the vane of My Dying Bride and all the early albums by the bands I mentioned. Swallow The Sun may not be as bleak as the original offerings all the time, but this is a superb album. Gloomy, melodic guitars craft a fitting spot for solid death like growls. Minimal drum lines some of the long lasting song structures that create huge darkened atmospheres. This is real doom metal, not the overly slow 4 notes per song stuff and it isn't your typical Death Metal, there is too much going on here with the song crafting to be mistaken for that. This is true Doom and gloom. Half Death Metal and half Gothic gloom. This is a real gem, especially for a debut album.
