[Gothregr]

Ivan Kramskoy - Moonlit Night

[OXCerberusX0]

Its actually classed as super dark tranquil bruce lee darth vador chuck norris death punk ass bitch metal.

[valhok]

beautiful piece of doom metal!

[verikosto]

yksinkertaisesti loistava

[sadness87832]

so wonderfull!!! it makes my dead heart think it's alife...

[24sweetlou]

Amazing band

[GiovanniAluzzo]

Fatality...

[IgnacioIF]

Love that pick scrape at 4:52 :)

[JBshotJL]

EPICNESSSS!!!

[NEBULIRA]

el cantante flipa que voz tiene el cabrón no es de este mundo

[FeanorsPain00]

Don't be concerned with Genre, listen to a great band...and Enjoy!!

[D3lud3d]

Love the ending to this song

[9rmetal]

love is lost but not forgotten

[handofxsorrow]

I don't usually like Death Metal, but this song is great! :D

[0verk1ll]

@handofxsorrow It's great because it's doom metal, not death metal. ;D

[9rmetal]

@0verk1ll actually its both

[0verk1ll]

@9rmetal Sadly, I cannot consider a band with minor death influences to be a death metal band.

[9rmetal]

@0verk1ll i dont care its just dark depressive beautiful metal

[AbyssaltheArgonian]

@0verk1ll It's doom/death metal actually

[MarkWellerMusic]

@handofxsorrow doom.

[FourthHorseman4]

Borderline homosexual........

[rmed30]

my first impression of this is a no.....with a kind of a yessy aftertaste. Does all of their music lumber along at such a slow pace?

[somberlight]

@rmed30. varies. check These Hours of Despair live versions, the pace is quite normal yet heavily leaning to this kind of mood.

[rmed30]

@somberlight took your advice and....wow. Just fucking WOW! Lyrics, composition, drumming; this song has it all and I think I'm in love with it. I usually stick to mainstream stuff when I go death/black/doom metal (Opeth, Bloodbath, Edge of Sanity, Isis, Between the Buried etc.) but if you have any more recommendations please send them my way. This song is tits.

[somberlight]

@rmed30, Swallow (live at FME 2006) starts with this kind of stuff but later descends to more traditional chaos. Descending Winter is a quickie, dont fall asleep goes doomy on its outro but before its basically sts's view on melodeath if you will. Weight of the dead, the massive closing track of their latest starts with in your face riffage before going doomy. it ends with absolutely epic kind of crushing ambient segment. its HUGE. Deadly Nightshade from their first is also .. ehh. sped up, heh

[9rmetal]

gloom, beauty and despair are in this video

[TheModern31]

this song is my life as i am also doomed to walk this earth lmao

[AntenasXcrewXmotzi]

TEMONAZOOOO!!!!

[DarkWolfInArtic]

best melodic doom metal band!

[labounti]

Doom Metal? This stuff like My Dying Bride makes me sad......

[MyBandNameWasTaken]

I just died and came back as a zombie, who stormed out to eat the souls of the innocent and the fetuses of unborn children. This is fucking brutaaaaaaaalllll!!

[danomanno747]

most rock/metal clips are really dull and {often} dumb (my opinion, of course), but this video is beautifully shot and creates a mood like the song. Swallow the Sun is like the Pink Floyd of doom/deah metal.

[uometako]

@danomanno747 Hell yeah!

[9rmetal]

@danomanno747 u re damn right

[TheCallofCthulhu]

soooo goood, doom at its finest. The cinematography in this video is absolutely awesome!, I love the shots of the band under the spotlight. Trust me I'm not one for spamming on videos but if you guys are into doom perhaps you should check out my band Where She Wept.

[7grady7]

This makes My Dying Bride look like pure pop! This is great, grueling metal for the heartless and sick.

[cthulhufhtagn90]

Music? depressing? you must be doing it wrong

[AustinAzathoth]

@cthulhufhtagn90 music can be depressing, because music is pretty much all about expressing the hidden emotions you have bottled up

[Gathax]

This gave me teary eyes. It's just.. gorgeous.

[9rmetal]

spooky hahaha!

[TheMoondrum]

Tonight show will be.. the highest moment on my live..

STS ! <3  from ever, for ever

[aliabib]

I seriously tried my best to appreciate this song in any eccentric way possible... but I just cant seem to manage... if any is able to take the time to explain to me the beauty that I am obviously missing in this, please do and I ll be in your debt

[CallingCrowe]

@aliabib: Maybe doom metal isn't your thing?

[syntheticskull]

@aliabib close your eyes and just let the music take you in

[peeweeyourcat]

@aliabib alright first of what type of music do you like? 2nd some people just cant get into this music because maybe its just too slow? or not to put you down creatvie.. just stay on that sreach for a good doom metal band :D maybes this isnt your type i have freinds that had the same probelm with you about this in the past...

and sorry for my english im from Sweden

[spurqz]

@aliabib In my opinion the song before the outro (0:00-5:32) isn't beautiful. It's sad and depressing. And I like that. But the outro (5:32-) is the most beautiful piece of music that i know

[SolefaldtheTroll]

This song is a masterpiece!! Those who say it's easy to play slow are idiots!! It's even harder to play slow....this drummer is a genius.

[InTheFinger]

Reminds me of the "Eviga Riket"-story by Cult of Luna. Or maybe the other way round, as this one was released first.

Anyway, beautiful song, with or without a video...

[TheNightsMoon]

epic!

[TheHopelessDrummer]

were doomed to this earth, but with melodies and amazing sounds like this...

really will just help us distract the look toward our self ignorance!!!

simply a real face of beauty!!!!

[95didde]

I get more and more into doom metal! But I listen to everything from emo to slam death so yhm yeah :P

[Juan1832]

groso

[MrRyandietrich]

this song reminds of reading that book, and the author was obviously morbidly suicidal, the most sorrowful depressing hopeless book ever, and i finished it...... dun dun dadun!!!

[MrRyandietrich]

@MrRyandietrich but their is still beauty t be found in sorrow, never forget mr.ryan

[MrRyandietrich]

@MrRyandietrich i never will mister

[prodigy45]

@MrRyandietrich what book? haha

[MrRyandietrich]

@prodigy45 i think it was the chronicles of thomas covenant

[D3lud3d]

The ending break down of this song is so legend. Love it

[TGTheManatee]

Went and saw these guys in Louisville on Tuesday. Great show.

[Thesamofsam]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[FireLord4Life]

is it me or does Swallow the Sun sound a lot like Draconian?

[Faze390]

@FireLord4Life yeah, if Draconian grew some balls.

[karimds]

@FireLord4Life no....and that word means everytthing..NO..

[hollyellenb]

They are fast becoming a favorite of mine. They are just amazing.

[omiejay]

dark.

foreboding.

beautiful.

amazing.

[PetPco123]

Oh fuc*, this IS masterpiece. I love to be a Finn

[RottenSinceBirth]

@PetPco123 Yeah you should be very proud, love Finnish metal, Greets from neighbour Swe

[9rmetal]

beuatiful

[deatheater4life1]

Shit day but god this song has made me feel so much better!

But then again all Swallow the sun's work is magnificent and uplifting,

Oh if only they came to Australia.....

[absynthemoon]

Hello Mr band Manager. Pls tell the band to perform this masterpiece next time they come to Romania. They OWE us this song :). Thank you.

[PanagosGr33kG134EVER]

the vocalist has one of the best growls in metal

[omiejay]

@PanagosGr33kG134EVER not just that, but his vocal range is excellent, from his low growls, to his higher pitched growls, to his clean vocals.

[SleepwalkerSykes]

@PanagosGr33kG134EVER exei o pousths, exei!

[Underkaefer]

7:03 Is a facebraker

omg I love this band

[fattrick]

One of the best from StS

[prodigy45]

Great song, my drummer and i always plays this song, but to me it feels as if being doomed to walk the earth is worse than going hell.In hell you have a destination, yet for the tortured soul she must walk the earth forever, missing her lost love. "stuck in between two worlds"

[danevati]

I LOVE HIS SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

[A157D]

@danevati i don't hear any screaming

[danevati]

@A157D Well the growling :]

[rabbitofdeth]

the vid scared the shit out of me.

[bobslapnuts]

im only listening to this cause i was told they were an awesome doom metal band...and right they fucking were

[GrandElemental]

I really like the ending riffs of this song, they are very powerful and emotional.

[mrVoLuZ]

i like this song to death ... always singing it !

[SaturnineXTS]

The ending of this song is filled with such unspeakable sorrow. I guess it's true that music is one thing that gets the closest to expressing the inexpressible.

[Lucsiferu]

@SaturnineXTS the sorrow of nihilism and reality

[loveablemoggy]

The only thing that stops me liking this sort of music is the cookie monster on mic. I love the sound of all the instrumentation, and would love it if the singer sang instead of growled. I'd even buy it then because it rocks. It just un-rocks when I hear the gravelly grating.

[Sharvalthegreat]

@loveablemoggy You just need to get used to it, it's like an accent.. after listening to enough of it you can really feel the emotion in growls / screams. And fuck me, there is a lot of it in swallow the sun.

[BrimstoneLandscapes]

@loveablemoggy Music like this isn't supposed to "rock" in the first place.

[TheDissected]

peace,love and DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xCh1eFx]

swallow the sun is the fuckin best doom metal band

[melodeath95]

@xCh1eFx no argument there. Unless you count Insomnium, but they are not pure Doom, they just have alot of Doom Influences.

[PanagosGr33kG134EVER]

is this a cover song or an original of Swallow the Sun?

[JimboHammy]

@PanagosGr33kG134EVER This song is an original. I think you might be getting that confused with the next track on the album, These Low Lands. That is a cover, but they really made it their own song. The original is called Alavilla Mailla by Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus. They translated the lyrics into english and put their own spin on it. Also, Greece fucking rocks!

[PanagosGr33kG134EVER]

@JimboHammy yes Greece rocks!!!!^^

[Faze390]

@PanagosGr33kG134EVER Original Of STS

[mayhemgods]

good song

[deadbabyeater00]

gunna see these guys Sunday with Finntroll Moonsorrow and Survivors Zero

[SatanicsWolves]

Doomed to Walk The Earth ....... As Slaves Of The Living Death ~ Carpathian Forest

[Faze390]

@SatanicsWolves While that is a good song, i like this one better

[smp156]

i think i'd rather hear like a "wailing banshee" kind of manic/operatic vocals. wouldn't really call what i'm thinking about singing.

brett hoffman was the single best singer/vocalist on retribution, 10 cmdmnt, and stillborn.

i'm s snobby metalhead though

[wetham123]

@smp156 "wailing banshee" kind of vocals wouldn't suit the band. This guy has the one of the best vocals I've heard, growls are much more emotional rather then screeching I think. But each to their own.

[WhispTheDark]

@heavy0metal Yeah, it's like they're stoned or something :D

[gleb202]

Every word i'll say to embrace this band will be needless because the music speaks for itself. The clip is just as awesome too.Thanks for posting

[collinsrodog]

light a bowl up and listen to this song and enjoy the best nine minutes of your life

[spizec]

You can't be the judge of how i appreciate metal. It's just i don't listen to metal as much as i used to. Metal is getting so fucking boring for me..

[collinsrodog]

well what other genres of metal do you listen too besides metalcore/deathcore.

[spizec]

I don't listen to metalcore/deathcore as much.

Right now it's mostly Hardcore like CockPunch!,Have Heart, the acacia strain, Life Ruiner, This is Hell...

But knowing you, you don't like no of these bands....

Also check out Dioramic - Black Screen Goodbye

[Mattxmillen]

the acacia strains deathcore no matter what way the put it

[spizec]

@Mattxmillen Hey i don't listen to none of this crap anymore so leave me alone...

[vtxPL]

It's spizec's own opinion and you shouldn't judge it.

[spizec]

@vtxPL Thank you....

[vtxPL]

;-)

[krakanoff]

summer breeze 2010!!!!!!!!!

[robertphill]

agreed dark, also alot easier to cover and learn with the slower peace :)

fantastic song, amazing growler, there boring if u watch live vids tho :P dont do much

[QUOTZmaster]

This song is so amazing..<3

[georgemetalopios]

just one word!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Metaldude1945]

This is a good song, good line up. Only bald and long hair are metal!

[gjacks898]

hell yea dude.

[Metaldude1945]

@gjacks898: are you being sarcastic? :P (Just asking)

[bearblaster420]

lol, this fucking guy is just too doom to headbang.

[orknip]

That's right.

[OmegaAxle]

Masterpiece... is my only word.

[realityfiend12]

@OmegaAxle I agree. The whole Doom Metal scene is beautiful. Specifically Death/Doom and Funeral Doom. I took mushrooms and listened to Swallow the Sun - words cannot explain the beauty I felt. This music is so inspiring. It is a shame that the majority are too stupid to be able to comprehend such beautiful works. Bands like this deserve all the fame in the world. A damn shame.

[vdvloversister]

@OmegaAxle mine too

[ceredox]

I don't know what to do with myself whenever i listen to this.

[Faze390]

you need to get up and grab some tissues and/or tube socks, cause this song is absolutely ORGASMIC!!!!!!

[RavenrockProductions]

it gets to me too ;)

[vikingkommando]

genialne!

[KRAJO11MPR]

Múdro hovoríš :)

[25Wingweaver25]

Breathtaking...

[qazacoatl]

Im Going To See them Today!!!! Fantastic Band!! Stay Doom!!!!

[ViciousArcanum]

i can see why pasi left,he clearly doesn't like playing slow doom anymore,it's a shame,he was a really good drummer and perfect for STS

[Y1kez]

Swallow the Sun is an awesome band!

[Cursarion]

Tossa kuuden minuutin kohdalla vähän säröilee. :<

[Negasilver]

Goddamn. That one clean riff the lead guitar does towards the middle/end is so awesome. This song is amazing.

[zemitoqdemige]

Misanthropic...but awesome...

[vtxPL]

misantrophic, THEN awesome

[Rheaume100]

check out,,,THE FUNERAL ORCHESTRA--(Apocalyptic Trance ritual)

[zylelfskariranariza]

god damned,stop offending each other atleast on you tube,as if the world wasn't enough violent already...

Peace,love,winter and death metal to all!

[modepet]

well said, mate!

[TheDarkflags]

@zylelfskariranariza

"Peace" and "love"? Grow the fuck up, man.

[Oedeema]

@TheDarkflags What's wrong with peace and love?

[TooMuchGass]

@Oedeema Whats wrong is that its a lie.

[RottenSinceBirth]

@zylelfskariranariza You sir, are one smart fella, I hails your way

[manbearpig1962]

at first i was disappointed by this band but now i think they freaking rule, btw anybody else notice how the drummers looks so pissed off in all their vids?

[zylelfskariranariza]

yes,I think he quitted some monts ago...

[porklik]

I'd be pissed if i was a drummer playing such slow riffs :P

[melodiccreepingdeath]

it must be hard to play slow xD if u listen to drone doom meta talk about nutz! the shit is so fucking slow...

[darkbarrage99]

nah man, trust me the slowed down speed allows you more time to be creative. its more interesting than something like "blastbeat" followed by "doublebass 4/4" etc, now that shit just gets monotonous.

[ihavetourettesxx]

@darkbarrage99 HAHAHAHAHA! SO TRUE! my friend says "that shows skill". No, blastbeating shows you beating a snare like a child. sir.

[SolefaldtheTroll]

@ihavetourettesxx I must disagree with you, blastbeating is also very hard to! But this kinda drumming is also hard of course. In my opinion both style sounds very good.:)

[ihavetourettesxx]

@SolefaldtheTroll yeah i get what you mean, of course it takes skill. But IMHO i think it takes more skill to write a song without blastbeats.

[darkbarrage99]

@ihavetourettesxx well, i will say a proper high tempo blastbeat takes a load of concentration to perform and very much patience to master. a drummer is the conductor of his band, and it is proper for rapid passages

[Beholdthesharktopus]

@darkbarrage99 Come on man, I'm giving European doom a shot here and digging it and you're ripping on my beloved grindcore? What did blastbeats ever do to you?

[darkbarrage99]

@Beholdthesharktopus ruined my local music scene with people who can't do them lol

[andtherewasblood]

This is why I hate drummers...

[darkbarrage99]

lol, whut? why?

[maitoonparasta]

drummer clearly has a hangover

[bearblaster420]

u want influential doom metal listen to Acid Bath, Electric Wizard, Novembers Doom etc..

btw the singer in Scar Symmetry is talented so he sings gutteral vocals mixed with clean vocals to show off his talent...which is hard to do... if u think that's gay listen to Blind Colony..

[deathmetalwho]

I listen to Electric Wizard and Burning Witch and bands like that but I wouldn't call them influential. Candlemass would be something you would call influential.

Also, I'm married and I have a child...

I bet you do have metal coming out of your ass; METAL DILDOS you homo..

[bearblaster420]

wouldn't that be going up my ass? i get laid every weekend and i don't even think i want kids...so yeah.

i'm very well aware of candlemass.

electric wizard is pretty influential, so is acid bath.

like i said, i don't like amorphis, now fuck off and get over it.

[deathmetalwho]

You get laid with your boyfriend more than likely.

[bearblaster420]

if a guy likes sausage more than taco then that's his choice and i don't give a fuck...but im not in that way....and that was really un-creative of u. was that supposed to insult me?

lol @ U faggot

[deathmetalwho]

There you go talking about liking sausages..

[bearblaster420]

there's a big difference between thinking about sausage (like u do), and typing the word "sausage" in a comment on youtube (like i did u insecure faggot)

please do me a favour and shut the fuck up u annoying cum smoothie.

LOoL at YOU

[deathmetalwho]

You were the one thinking about it.

Now you're talking about cum smoothies; you're quite the faggot aren't you.

[bearblaster420]

u just said exactly what i just said except u turned it around at me...

god u R a worthless semen smoothie XD

[deathmetalwho]

No I was pointing out how you're always talking about gay things or things that resemble gayness. Cum smoothie?! Come on who else but a fag would use such an expression.

[bearblaster420]

these "gay things" r being talked about because they're directed at a gay person..

an imature person would use an insult like cum smoothie (which is me...u fuckin cum smoothie).

now really, shut the fuck up u loser as if ur still talking to me.
