Finnish death-doom masters Swallow the Sun have dropped a video for their new single “MelancHoly.” The track is taken from their upcoming album Shining, set to release on October 18th via Century Media Records.
In support of Shining, the band will embark on a North American Winter 2025 tour starting February 20th in Detroit, MI, and concluding on March 15th in Chicago, IL. Support will come from Harakiri For The Sky, Ghost Bath, and Snakes of Russia. Tickets are available at this location.
Juha Raivio comments on the new single:
“This song talks about how melancholy can be comforting, safe and even a beautiful place. But when it turns into your God, it will surely kill you.”
Mikko Kotamäki adds:
“I’ve heard these days people call great and catchy songs bangers. Well, this one truly is one.”
