Debates are unneeded, this music is beauty regardless.

[xxmusicismexx1]

kool



[Gojiraatomic]

Holy shit these lyrics are amazing

[Bleister6]

I think that Katatonia in Brave Murder Day is closer to Swallow the Sun than MDB...

Just my opinion...

[crocidolite666]

Hahaha... emo???? Not even in the distance....

Good band,... they are inspired by MDB I guess... Sometimes Its like I am listening to MDB...

[Kaokli]

@crocidolite666

STFU

it has nothing to do with it, lady

[AniWithAnAxe]

How come I just found this freaking awsome band OMG I have been missing out bigtime !!!

[Mrevilord]

The lyrics are about his girlfriend who cheated him? lol

[TheHucore]

aunque la carne es debil , y la estupidez humana no tiene limites , mi mano es fuerte.

[cjanz]

That opening riff is so very melancholic, yet so destructive.

[fatzgalore]

Quite interesting

[Moondragon1088]

I hadn't heard of this band before, but I have to say from what I have heard I am pleased. I really like the slow almost intimate guitar.

[assbean182]

shitty deathcore bands that like to sing about killing whores could learn a thing or two from this song

[D4mnShadows]

@assbean182 true that!

[onasis20]

don't fuck with the song..please..

[MrDismemberment]

BOOBIES!



[LacrimaLuciferi]

all ya doom fellas should smoke more weed and listen to bands like Black Sabbath, Pentagram fucking ELECTRIC WIZARD (!!!), but this Finnish shit is pretty rad too.

[MyBandNameWasTaken]

... Excuse me, I have to go murder my ex-girlfriend now...

[axewound2008]

wow, im glad theatre of tragedy made a comback.

[franciscoziliani]

who ever said this was emo its a fucking moron , 1st. the musicianship in this type of bands its way better than an emo band second they dont growl in emo they fucking they cry a lot and complain , this is beauty at its finest

[ElYot66]

The music is fantastic, pure mastery, but the vocals ruin the song for me. Sorry, that's just my opinion.

[somberlight]

@ElYot66, fair enough :)

[cujo1488]

co za vomitorium...

[Xsdekay]

Amazing, So amazing, I love melodic Doom metal. If i am wrong with the type please someone correct me,

But these songs, Plus New Moon, are soo amazing, they are just physcially Emotional to the soul.

[0311Enraged]

@Xsdekay no you're right, this is fantastic, justgot introduced last night, this shit is gold, if you wanna hear some melodic death metal that has a lot of goth/doom overtones you should check out insomnium.

[paixtarush]

hhahaha this is called singing or burping????????

[Fraustt]

@paixtarush It's actually called "shut the fuck up and quit commenting on a musical genre that you obviously know nothing about" I think thats what they call it.. u fucking idiot twit, you have no business watching this vid let alone commenting on it.

[paixtarush]

@Fraustt hahahaha don't get mad because i am right....you see i am going to comment wherever i want ..and don't forget when you sing this song to drink a lot of coke...kisses ahahahahah

[Bambuzzsprosse]

@paixtarush: You might not know: Guttural vocals like this are WAY harder to master than any of your Britney-Spears-Pop or other stuff like Rianna (I don't even know, how to spell her name -.-), who work over their vocals for 200 hours with a computer, to get them sound good. This singing is a true masterpiece, not just because it's so hard to get this worked out so perfectly, but also, because Mikko (the vocalist) can do the clean vocals you might admire, as well as high pitched screaming.

[Vengeanceismine77]

@Bambuzzsprosse

Hum, as soon as you have discovered how to growl, growling is no big deal.

You will find thousands growlers if you want to do DM. But try and find a singer for a heavy metal band, and you'll find how difficult it's to find a good one.

Growling well, if you know the technic, is WAY easier than singing well.

I've been growling for sixteen years know and I'm a way better growler than a singer, even if I've been singing for 21 years.

[MasakoXer]

@paixtarush

it's called being emotional.

And if you want burping try listening to Goregrind or slam metal, sounds like a fucking cricket.

[1Usernamehere1]

"I could love her but I can't forgive her

So it slowly slides inside her..."

I fucking HOPE he's talking about a dagger or a knife.

[DeathKoreWhiteBoi]

@1Usernamehere1 no hes talkin about his weiner dude.

[1Usernamehere1]

@DeathKoreWhiteBoi

I'm... not sure how to feel about this.

This song is atmospheric as fuck and I enjoy the hell out of it, but that fucking phrase man.

[omerdrow]

@1Usernamehere1 To a serial killer,stabbing is psychologicly equilivent to a penetration. He might be refering exactly to this.

[nimphaion1]

@1Usernamehere1 i think he's talking about a cock that penetrates her body

[1Usernamehere1]

@nimphaion1

That's one sharp cock, dude.

[TheGrimlok]

I'm glad I founde these guys when I did. Was at a very low point in life, with a cheating girlfriend in the picture. Got to see them live, and not too long after that was single and moving on with my life. Very influential band, love them!

[thankGodforDavidG]

Eddie, was Du mir geschikt hast, nichts weniger als genial, mein  guter Freund !

[thankGodforDavidG]

em kon, the pond is way too big, gonna start drinkin it !

[Ghostorchid2]

@thankGodforDavidG The more you drink..the sooner you will get here..;-)

Love always..Em Kon xx

[OurDarkSecretLove]

emo music imo doesnt have nearly as much meaning as doom metal, doom/death metal actually write about real stuff while emo is writing about cutting cuz their gf left them. and in emo music all you have to do is be able to scream and you can be famous

[DeadlyThrashViking]

Just found these guys. Have to say this band kicks ass. The only other funeral doom metla band (assuming this is funeral doom) that I've liked has been colosseum and these guys are like a heavier them lol.

[TheGrimlok]

I could listen to this song all day everyday, and it still wouldn't get old. <3

[danevati]

Best thing that came out of Finnland :D

[Oupii313]

@danevati wtf is Finnland?? From Finland comes the best metal bands :D

[danevati]

@Oupii313 Hahahahaha typo... Wellllllllllllll..............­........... there are some awesome bands from there... But Sweden could be the best :D

[ThePuritania]

masterpiece ^^

sts forever

[numbdevil666]

"I've been watching her silent sleep

Catching names through her sleep"

cheating bitches

[dethbecomemigul]

tabs anyone?!

[AureliusL]

7:30

godlike

[DecencyPOLICE]

bare breasts perverted not right!

[Evilson251]

@DecencyPOLICE LOL its called art! and this type of art has been around for centuries! take your worthless opinions of whats decent somewhere else!

[TheGrimlok]

I love this band and this song, Mikko is such an epic vocalist. I loved seeing them live, it was such a treat. They kicked the shit out of Soilworks performance that's for sure.

[Asael090]

Don't compare STS and Soilwork please.. They are of different genres.. Both of them are great live in certain ways

[TheGrimlok]

@Asael090 At what point did I compare them? I went to a Soilwork concert, where STS was playing before them. STS's performance was great and sounded awesome, that same night SW's performance was horrible and sounded like shit. I like both bands and know they are different genres, but that night, Soilwork was too drunk or somethin.

[Tendrilsofdarkness]

I love the melodic guitar in the background which is hitting the individual notes. Really contributes to the feelings portrayed in this song :)

[heavy0metal]

Beautiful song...

and realaxing, mmm... -.-

[19Labrie63]

I don't even understand how this comes even a little bit close to emo, because it's sad and has growled vocals??? Those twats just bastardize anything that doesn't have clean vocals. THIS is respectable music, and your really not very open-minded if you can't listen to this kind of musicianship.Plus, Mikko's voice is VERY refined. The only one who i think can come close to him with death vocals is maybe Mikeal Akerfeldt

[Heavymetalgamer28]

@19Labrie63 OK who ever called this emo must be lined up and shot by firing squad, now.

[AgentHomer]

@Heavymetalgamer28 pfffft... they're always going to call music they don't like names... I understand your frustration, but you've got learn to be above it, I mean, you probably are, but it still bothers you too much. At the moment, non mainstream music is either called noise, emo, or murder music. So, I think emo is really the nicest of the three, he is at least aknowledging it's status as music, so he's not calling it noise, and murder music would be missing the point completely

[Suckedintooblivion]

@19Labrie63

Fuckin' right, man. Fuck emo! :D

Also, I think Mikko's style is a bit more like Tomi Joutsen in terms of growls. =]

Long live STS! =D

[hmb3]

@19Labrie63 Have you heard Henri Villberg (formerly of Rapture)? His vocals are powerful and intelligible. Awesome!

[SuperEriktube]

@19Labrie63

emo ? emos are those who think this music is emo, its doom, its been around before those little pricks even knew what music is.

[19Labrie63]

@SuperEriktube You got it, dude!

I enjoy what people call "real emo" such as Rites of Spring, pg.99, Embace, Envy, etc....but that shit's a fucking subgenre of punk rock, not doom metal.

I guess all this For Today bullshit has confused doom metal with emotional hardcore, and good music for shit....

[oaklandrmoss18]

@19Labrie63 So you're saying this guy and Mikeal are the top growlers in metal? hahahah give me a break none of them are even top 10

[Sleepastray]

This song would be great if his voice wasn't so retarted! It sucks because they are such great lyrics, and he sounds like Jabba the Hut. And that ridicuolous repetitive melody...haha I can't stop laughing...Oh well. I'm really sorry if you like this, maybe someone can explain to me the merit of this genre of music...whatever it is....

[Serpent1991]

@Sleepastray you have no music taste! you have no idea what music is about! you listen to justin bieber and snoop dog! don't try to get this awesomness, you ain't worth it.

[Sleepastray]

How do you know what music taste I have? Anywhos I think I have pretty good taste but maybe I don't, it doesn't matter...but don't judge someone you don't know! I was willing to give it a try. They are beautiful lyrics...the person who wrote this song has amazing talent...I'd just rather hear the lyrics without having my ears bleed.

[Retrox13]

death/doom metal is one of the best combos ever its harsh vocals give you are dark feel its slow playing lets you suck in the music. the lyrics are depressing but dark. also any one can relate to a death/doom lyrics. its just a great combo. STAY METAL \m/

[inquestFLASH]

lmao

[waliwrk]

"I could love her but I can't forgive her

So it slowly slides inside her"

WOW! It's like he is saying what I FELL now. OMG! this song is incredibly amazing!

[willrot138]

who ever said as i lay dying is more complicated is an ignorant cunt, i dont belive you understand what it takes to make a doom song

[Faze390]

@willrot138 exactly... you need to capture the mood EXACTLY right to make a doom metal song... it's all about the atmosphere, how it makes the listener feel... not about talent.Although you do have to be VERY talented to write perfect music like this...

[willrot138]

@Faze390 doom is an expression music it corresponds to how the musicians want the listen to feel. i dont believe you will hear anything in another genre that can do that.

[blackcore01]

gloom beauty and despair

[666emohead]

you better be joking deathmetalwho cause if not you are a assfucker

[mbloome]

Personal preferance. Some people don't like As I Lay Dying...i'm one of them. SO...how about you just let it go, and enjoy the song.

[sCeNeXgIrL94]

666emohead?...what kind of name is that?

[Retrox13]

see this why i hate the emos

[PSNBloodraid]

@Retrox13 If you're referring to this being 'emo', you're mistaken. This is melodic doom/death, both of which came far before the 'emo' trend came along.

[Retrox13]

@PSNBloodraid dude i never said this is emo i love this read my one comment saying death/doom is the best combo i love tgis band when i said this is emo it was to some one eals

[PSNBloodraid]

@Retrox13 Ah, I see.

Ah well, back to In Flames, Insomnium & Dark Tranquillity for me! Enjoy the music mate :)

[Retrox13]

dud thous bands kick so much ass but mainly insomnium

[PSNBloodraid]

@Retrox13 You should check out Lunarsea & Godgor if you've net heard them yet. It's pretty great stuff.

[CascadedDemise]

Yeah I love all those bands, but Insomnium has really caught my interest as of late. But I really like Swallow The Sun as well.

[deathmetalwho]

Britney's music is more complicated than As I Lay Dying.

[helltarek]

wtf?

fuckin amazing

[nerdheadbanger]

What an amazing song. Beautiful music, beautiful vocals, well-written lyrics. Swallow the Sun...perfect? Oh yeah.

[TheGrimlok]

AMAZING! I love it, ever since i saw them live i can't get enough, they stole the show from soilwork(gay). Darkane was pretty badass too

[Cojakulation]

agreed man, i saw them in PG and that shit was unreal

[BlackCat435]

good stufff, vocals are amazing

[KYgelly]

if you take it that away, it sounds like their shutting out the sun so it can be dark to me...which sounds doom/deathish to me

[deathmetalwho]

Don't get me wrong, I kinda like this band. Well really, the vocals for the most part. I wasn't trying to talk shit when I said their name sounds like a metalcore/emo band. I just think it does.

Swallow the Sun can fit right along with Bullet for My Valentine, As I lay Dying, All That Remains, Haste the Day, POISON THE WELL, Protest the Hero, Heaven Shall Burn, and All Shall Perish. (I'm only talking about the name here, their music is better than anything those faggots can ever do)

[nerdheadbanger]

Who gives a shit about the name? If the music is good, then the band is good. That's just how you fucking identify the band. If you're judging a band by its name, then you're judging a book by its cover; and that shit gets you nowhere.

[deathmetalwho]

I wasn't judging them by the name of the band. If you know how to read and comprehend, you would have noticed that.

I noted that I like the band and I noted that they make better music than a lot of bands.

[YourRoadToHell]

the name is quite nice in my opinion (swallow the sun), this emophobia should stop, metal is not 'emo' in any sense

[Retrox13]

i agree

[YourRoadToHell]

i personally like the name much more then say "cannibal corpse"

[nilzardo]

what about "superextremeGORE-ment" then, that sounds cliché doesn't it?

[darkbarrage99]

"Swallow The Sun calms my ass down like a rip off the ol' bong"

[METALxTAMAxHEAD]

@darkbarrage99

SMOKE WEED!!!!

[IMMORTALGIRL4]

I dont get the lyrics

[Frejalise]

I believe it's about a woman who is suspected by a lover to be "cheating". The lover says "I could love her", but he is unable to forgive her, so he stabs her with a knife as she sleeps.

[silentsniper1566]

...how..the fuck,can you not get the lyircs?....

[mariuslefter]

To me this is the best STS song. It's the first song I ever heard from them, so its so special for me. I like all their songs, but this one this kills me and then..ressurection comes.

[foootz]

anybody has tabs for this great song??

[darkbarrage99]

look around dude!
