Swallow The Sun announce new live album ’20 Years Of Gloom, Beauty And Despair – Live In Helsinki’

SWALLOW THE SUN have announced a new live album!

Titled 20 Years Of Gloom, Beauty And Despair – Live In Helsinki, the upcoming album from the Finnish melodic death-meets-doom metal band is their first ever live album and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Century Media Records.

“Finally some good news after a year of cancellations and shitshow! We managed to play only 10 of these special 20th anniversary gigs before the whole world shut down in March 2020 and the rest of the tour got cancelled. Luckily we filmed and recorded one of the gigs, which we now release as our very first live album as we wait to be able to get back on stages again. Enjoy!” Says vocalist Mikko Kotamäki about the upcoming album. “We played the whole Songs from the North II with a string quartet – comprised of very professional musicians, two of whom played on our previous album and appeared with us on the 70000 Tons of Metal cruise in 2018. For the first time, we also asked our fans on social media to vote for their favorite songs from each album. We then played the most-voted songs from every album.”
