Swallow the Sun: Swallow (live at FME 2006)

[gillywibble]

Amazing.

[zansarr666]

along with new moon this is my favourite song and it just gets better live

[MonochromaticStains]

Oh god, this is good. When I saw them live, they sped it up. :/

[xCh1eFx]

Singer .... a Beast

[xCh1eFx]

i like the live version much more than studio ;o

[Siege900]

I love the way they use the tempo. At some points I was worried that the music would have to stop because of its weight, and then it would pick up and be alive again.

[rmed30]

Maybe this is a dumb question but why do these Scandenavian artists (all awesome btw) record all of their music in English?

[NO11YOU]

@rmed30 I think it's cause the metal community is mostly based in English speaking country's and Scandinavian nations have very good education and speak very good English.

[xCh1eFx]

@rmed30 cos its better to sing in english ; ) sounds better and everyone could understand it... metal is international..

[tripplepunk]

2:31 love the way theyre banging :)

[bloodyrockfire]

DOOM ON\M/ Swallow the Sun is so addictive;you can realize they don't play just metal;they play art

[Finwe]

don't usually like doom that much, but Swallow the Sun has that something..

[Metactyl]

a fUCKING MUST-BANG

[danomanno747]

I love how these guys don't do any over-the-top theatrics on stage.... just very laid back guys, good musicans, playing great dark music.

[TheRedCrusades]

unbelievably good. Great Job, StS

[FretlessDeviant]

I love this. Loooooow and sloooooooow :D

[9rmetal]

mikko = god of metal

[Lamantincore]

Wow, I never thought they sound THAT good live.

[inhplss]

Great

[leviathan94xxx]

damn he sounds great live

[Buscariolli89]

the intro reminds me "the unforgiven"

[v0id19]

vocals are beast

[andersonrs1990]

Incredible song! Amazing band! Undescrible performance! Hail StS!

[himtonny]

they are better live :)

[Rabko]

Professional Headbangers.

[iraklioni2008]

fucking great!

[kissofdeathisraja]

The bassist is so stylish in strumming from 4:15 to 4:22

[danomanno747]

@kissofdeathisraja yes, the bass player in StS really knows his instrument. You can hear him clearly all the time too (in other metal bands, the bass is sometimes drowned out). All the guys in StS are excellent musicans.

[anippe]

fucking awesome

[krezalin]

love it

[DjoharDudaev]

lalala  \m/

[amon45]

2:32 wyjebane w kosmos !

[zylelfskariranariza]

first time I heard this song on my guitar pro,and just loved it,though only in midi version...great band!

[Vine666]

Wow. They play the verse a lot slower live. I love bands that don't actually speed things up when playing live. Doom just gets more epic the slower it gets. Seeing these guys in Leeds in December with their brethren Insomnium! Going to be amazing!

[pyrothesis1]

so am i at Rio's right

[Undertryyke]

damn you lol. i was gonna see em in london but rents wont let me seeing as its a school night. STS and Insomnium are my two favourite bands. gutted

[nerdheadbanger]

Swallow the Sun and Insomnium are the next two legendary metal bands to come out of Finland. Children of Bodom, beware.

[mancho747heavy]

@nerdheadbanger Dude dont forget Kalmah!!!!

[spottytroll]

@nerdheadbanger

Kalmah? O_o

[nerdheadbanger]

@spottytroll You've never heard of Kalmah ?

[spottytroll]

@nerdheadbanger

Kalmah is one of my favorite bands haha. I was asking why they weren't on his list :p

[nerdheadbanger]

@spottytroll Oh! Hahaha, yeah...well, Kalmah are very underrated..so I guess that's probably why.

[spottytroll]

@nerdheadbanger

They are extremely underrated! I think the main reason is because they don't really tour. I think i read in an interview that they don't have an agency to plan that shit out or something. I would kill to see them live.

[mchenj]

@spottytroll

Saw them with Finntroll; it was the best set I've ever seen live. Where do you live?

[spottytroll]

@mchenj I saw em with Finntroll too. Funny, because i hadn't heard about them until i saw them on the band listing. I looked up their MySpace and immediately bought New Moon and Hope XD

I live in DC. The show kicked ass, Finntroll's set was amazing.

[SilenceoftheWomb529]

This song was so amazing. They played this when I saw them in march and it was simply transcendental.

[beelzebub686]

ohhh this is a fucking great song...

miko had a grunge look there

[ronhexe666]

This is such a great song

[Ineeedanaame]

Saw them in Winnipeg last month, so fucking good. They really put together some fucking magical music.

[PRAYINGMANTISKUNGFU]

MASTERS

[fickel1234]

I love these guys i listen to there albums all the time.. Mikko is awesome

[bloodymarydrinker]

just saw these guys last night. amazing growls. i love how the singer just stands there the whole time and barely moves, unless he goes to the drum riser for a beer.

[easyrocksoeasy]

There's some fuckin chick screaming at 3:26,lol...

[DeclareFreedom]

One of their best songs.

[eldenbra]

the growls are fucking amazing [2:45]

[Futil3]

epic

[GuitarJammer]

Does anyone have the lyrics for this song???

[Sahrroh]

Maybe listening to this will make it easier to find out the lyrics...

Great video.

[ashkrou]

<3

COME TO ENGLAND!

<3

[AntiJonasZone]

There in England supporting Apocalyptica i'm going to see them tonight

[ashkrou]

Yeah, they're in Sheffy on the 11th, might go myself, they're better than Apocalyptica though lol. xD

[lasik124]

This is So So So Beyond Amazing. My gosh I can not wait for the new album. Godlike.

[BlindTProductions]

this migh be one of their best songs eer done, just sayin

[somberlight]

i agreed until i heard the clip around youtube which has apparently 5 mins of their upcoming album, Plague of butterflies. while being completely swallow the sun-esque in mood and.. well, everything, it actually and im not kidding on this, had a nod towards Anthems era Emperor. Think "the Ship" meets "these hours of despair" with some extra fury added to the mix. sadly i lost the link but it was live and in Lutakko bar

[louiseduvee]

instantly in love with it

[CrucifiedChaos]

my fave STS song

[grunttillyoudrop]

these guys are the overlords of death doom

[Inmormantare]

one of the best doom bands!!

[Blacksarevok]

So good. Such great live performers. Not many bands have the enthusiasm these guys have.

[modsognir666]

PERFEEEEECT!!!!!

[eternalhours]

WOW.

Can't wait to see these guys this year!

[666devilisme666]

I'm dying...

very xtra band!!!

[metalhead666fucker]

Has cool fucking guitar riffs, the headbanging section in the song is fucking splendid...

[danifilth555]

fucking good

[modsognir666]

perfect metal band.amazing!

[666Metalwrath666]

Saw these guys in sweden with Insomnium and Amorphis.. AMAZING!!!!!

[stockmos]

Fy fan vad bra. :)

[Repro]

Brilliant song, and cool dudes to hang out with.

[doomster2]

wow they're the best - so great live!

[Gelomyrtor]

i saw them twice , and i think they are are a really good band, but they would be far better with a singer who moves more instead of standing behind his microfone.But doesnt matter, great band

[0521insane]

Haha, why, what do you want to see? The singer jumping around doing triple salto to this kind of music? You must be joking! :P

[Gelomyrtor]

That would be great.:)

[xxhybridstigmataxx]

i just saw these guys a couple weeks ago with katatonia, insomnium, and scar symmetry, i'm a huge katatonia fan, i like all the other bands too, but i'd have to say swallow the sun took the stage surprisingly, better than katatonia even

[eeritrocite]

man, the best set ever. lucky you.

[dmc3tatsujin]

i envy you. katatonia, scar symmetry, and swallow the sun are three of my favorite bands.

[sk8ercollegeboy]

perfection.... totally speechless.

[katatonius76]

Awesome Song - I love his growling voice!

[Acronomic]

Nice! They did a good job of not filming the drummer during his "solo" though.

[Heppe2k]

|m|

[onWINGSofLEAD89]

id love to hear the justice of suffering live with jonas from katatonia

[Yaruschka]

I would love to hear that too. Love Jonas, love Katatonia.

[malice8691]

not my favorite doom bad but they are not bad. Thier latest album (Hope) is not as good as thier older stuff.

[Chromestain]

Can you put up a live video of Descending Winters? I'd really appreciate it.

[BillyMacQ]

Masterful video production by Risto Pohjonen, vocals by The Cookie Monster.

[LordGothmog]

I was really liking that until he started singing

[zts99]

Well, it's doom metal for a reason...

[retardable]

great performance.. the ending was just transcendental

[Deathbadgerr]

Perfect song, awesome band <3

[Epsilonic]

Awesome song, wish there was a live video on 'Hold This Woe' though

[Tompas]

Paras STS live pätkä, so far...
