Songs from the North I, II & III

On this vast triple album from Finnish doom metal lords Swallow the Sun, each side represents a journey through specific realms of atmospheric metal, intense prog, and melodic doom. *I* swings from the thundering churn of “10 Silver Bullets” to the space opera of “Heartstrings Shattering,” while the acoustic *II* evokes a contemplative soundscape, with “Songs from the North” the aching centerpiece. *III* makes for a furiously bleak finish, with “The Gathering of the Black Moths” announcing the band’s punishing vision.

Finland's Swallow the Sun are well known among extreme music fans for their uncompromising musical vision and ambition.
