Swallow the Sun: The Ship (live at FME 2006)

[originalassclown]

I cant think of anything to say i'm just stunned by this epic performance.

[Kole777]

I drown, In the ship.

[spurqz]

my favorite sts song <3. i love how they play this song slower than on the album. nowadays sts play this song live way too fast because of kai hahto.

i think this is almost funeral doom

[Kole777]

@spurqz Isn't Kai in this vid?

[Asael090]

@Kole777 no

[Kole777]

@Asael090 No what?

[Asael090]

@Kole777 No, Kai is not in this video

[mysteriousfountain]

I love this song more than my girlfriend.

[Asael090]

If only I was there... =/

[9rmetal]

someone tell whats FME

[Kongir9]

@9rmetal FME = Finnish Metal Expo. It's an expo in the middle of winter in Finland. There you can see bands playing, buy any kind of metal stuff and meet and talk with bands you like.

[9rmetal]

@Kongir9 thanks dude sounds like 1 helluva show

[oneinfinity]

@Kongir9 wow, sounds great! Now why is there nothing like that in Germany!?

[666decapitated666]

... I was waiting so long ... and today I'll see THEM live ... so see you in Warsaw !!! we'll drown together with The Ship ...

[Dradolan]

Wow Mikko sounds excellent live... I am not sure if I came across an artist of any sort that sounds like what they do in their albums. Just amazing...

[AndyMcHeadbanger]

Absolute Brilliance! there is no words to discribe StS.Just too good to understand!

[9rmetal]

no words to describe STS

[danomanno747]

Absolutely awesome, flawless performance....indeed, I think it's better than the album version (which is awesome too).

[666decapitated666]

... I'm going to Warsaw to see you soon ...

[Murder5600]

wtf? 5 dislikes, those are retarded people who disliked this video!!

[kde92]

@Murder5600 Agreed.

[9rmetal]

man this song is the one 4 get lost in an island well a chick will be good to

[nerdheadbanger]

Ghosts of Loss is just really special album...it's just really long epic songs...all the other albums are special in their own way, but their sound doesn't really change that much...but Ghosts of Loss...that's just a memorable album.

[iloveyue]

The song is too depresive but man nice song

[mayhem9008]

fucking awesome)))))))

[spottytroll]

I love all the girl screams at 0:06 haha XD

[OpethDood]

Fucking yes.

[smrdljivogovnogolemo]

Probably one of my favorite songs of all time

[Kerry1King]

going to see them live with katatonia in march. fuck yeaaah

[spizec]

Big fucking waste of money if you tell me...

[aralopez89]

@Kerry1King me too :P

[nerdheadbanger]

I just got goosebumps.

Epic performance.

Hail Swallow the Sun

[amon45]

niesamowity klimat - Swallow the Sun i My Dying Bridge the Best

[OmOrange]

Juha writes the lyrics for the most part, the rest of the band contributes to the lyrics occasionally.

Where did this "...woman who belongs of their staff" thing come from?

[IBlinkAtYou2]

Yea that's about right..i think. Juha writes all the songs...and like 85% of the lyrics... Im pretty Mikko is the only other person who writes the lyrics? im probably wrong..i just know he wrote Doomed To Walk The Earth and These Hours Of Despair...

Point is...Juha is an amazing song writer...and lyric writer... ...FUCKIN LOVE CONCEPT ALBUMS!

[aminxtreme]

Fucking Masterpiece

[ximforimfolaa]

the guitarrist.

[23430f]

´lovely song i like that its number one :D i mean death grunts best sounds tomi joutsen from amorphis.. :D

[nmgirl87402]

I like the screaming girls.

[blackgreencat]

This kind of greatness cant be described...

[stinz0r]

Swallow the Sun's music fills me with so many emotions. The Ship is no exception. Genius

[05insomnium]

I find it so odd that vocals as brutal as that can convey so many emotions, and i'm no emo i'm a metalhead through and through. But this is just... beautiful. Can't wait to get Plague of Butterflies.

[ROONTANG]

Fuck it bro, you don't have to say you're not emo just because you're talking about feelings or emotions. Only insecure mentally challenged faggots will actually accuse you of being one for doing so.

[05insomnium]

Yeah, because loads of emos listen to Nile, i'm sure.

[FoolForRespect]

"emo pussys" are pretty far away from Swallow The Sun!

...and emotions belong to the musical experience!

without -emotions- there wouldn't be music at all.

Swallow The Sun is pure, brutal doom

[DragonForzzze]

Then you've never heard brutal doom. Swallow of the sun is Melodic Doom/Death.

[FoolForRespect]

well..this is actually first doom band i've listened ;D

[Sahrroh]

God damn, I love how Juha plays.

[myhlberg]

finnish doom rules,shape of despair as well

[FilipeNeves69]

though swallow the sun is one of my fav bands, it's a pity it's not the lead singer who writes the songs.. but I still love them x)

[Sahrroh]

Juha is fucking cool, though. I met him 9/22/07 and he's very humble about being a rock star. I thought that was very respectable.

[Trootin]

Yeah humble is the right kind a word. Went to see a gig they did at about 2005, he was personally selling the albums at a desk before playing. :D

[05insomnium]

I don't think it really matters who rights their music, beside they all have an influence on what they play, its not as if they're playing music they don't wish to. Anyway they are one of my favourite bands too.

[OmOrange]

Exactly.

[thedarkestvein]

who writes the music?

[FilipeNeves69]

not the guitarrist :)

a woman who belongs of their staff

[FilipeNeves69]

sorry, my mistake.. i searched once again and found there are both women and man. But there are many people outside of the band writing lyrics to them

[ashkrou]

I hope to god they tour in England, maybe one day...:3

[lasik124]

Swallow the Sun is an Amazing Band!

[666devilisme666]

... every time and once more ... this is something XTRA SPECIAL !!!

[AureliusL]

AWAAAAKE! WHISPERED THE SEA!

[Pingqwah]

I forgot to mention this band is amazing though, so it really doesn't matter.

[Pingqwah]

OH WOW

one of them can actually move!

They need to watch the bassist and move some more.

[ajattara85]

Yeah, but the song is so calm that it doesn't actually make you wanna move.

[Pingqwah]

I agree, but they didn't move much in the other live videos i saw.

They're a clam band though, so it doesn't matter.

[666devilisme666]

Oh fuck!! GREAT, GREAT, once more GREAT!!!

[quake4fanimies]

Fuckin' best doom metal band hail funeral doom!

[Blacksarevok]

Mikko, you're so damn amazing. This whole band is amazing. Can't get enough.

[frauerbse87]

i love this song

[666devilisme666]

I don't know how many times I've been here... I'm in love... my Ship...

[OmOrange]

And who the fuck moshes to StS anyways :D, Enjoy the beauty.

[asdasdasd12354]

This so so fucking beatifull.. I love the way they are just standing and staring into growd, it just feels so fucking efective if you know what i mean. StS is great band and i think reading lyrics is on a pretty big part of enjoying their music. 5 stars ofc.

[eeritrocite]

you're right with that "standing and staring". i never liked this kind of attitute, but for them it simply works. they are my fav band atm.

[666devilisme666]

Excellent music... wonderful vocal... I'm dying by drowning with THE SHIP everytime I'm here...

[AureliusL]

finally THE SHIP live

[Cupe81]

fuck`n aye.. im a singer and my band mate told me to listen this band and now i forced my brother(singer to) to listen them and we love them!!!!

[Leichenhaus]

really nice video, NICE SINGING!

this guy sings better than everyone i ever heard...

note: before telling me i should have sexual contact with myself, i said ""i" ever heard")

[rastergrafiks]

excellent music. great voice...

[Resifreak90]

I hate those mosh idiots...You also can ENJOY music just by the music and don't have to bother other people witz stupid movements -.-' I mean, of course you can mosh...But than only to hardcore/metalcorebands or something..But there are bands or genres I think it just don't fits...

[Colddweller]

Don't confuse moshing with scene/hardcore dancing. But I agree this is more headbanging than moshing. Growling along works too.

[Resifreak90]

I mean both :>

Yeah, that's the way I see it too...

[HarmonicChaos666]

Gonna see them live tonight, Im really wondering how its gonna be live, >_> No pits though

[Liitoorava]

HAHA! I was there <3

[Lordboogar]

Live doom metal shows all look pretty lame... the music is kinda cool, but all the lame shits just standing there staring is dull.

Thrash metal shows are much better... people get punched in the face, and have their knee-caps broken, and generally have a good time.

[DarkElfsDecay]

Doom over the world!!! \m/

[HostileHeretic]

beautiful

[gsfk]

i cant stop playing ths video,,, & i cant imagn the feelings of those ppl standing infrnt of the stage!!!!!!

[gsfk]

NO COMMENTS!!!

[sjsongs]

Uh-oh - the bass player accidentally moved!!! But hey, its some cool music!!!

[captainsharkey]

It's OK. But someone needs to hold them down and force 500ml of Thergothon down their throats to clear up the hint of emo-goth-creed-whatever it is I'm seeing them infected with.

[Underournorthernstar]

Captainsharkey it's doom metal, why take away the doom?

Idiot, get a clue.

[Bahomar]

awesome.

[BillyMacQ]

Excellent video production by Finland's own Risto Pohjonen. Look him up on the Net.

[BlackDaemonion]

This is such a beautiful song. One of my favourites from this album, next to "The Giant". Now if you could find that video, it would be divine.

[greywingedfall]

This song is Fav... specially the Outro riff and lyrics

"...the stars were fading

one by one"

[Satoshisama]

Surely great band and one of my favorite songs.

And Kotamaki's vocals kick ass!
