Today Finnish death/doom collective SWALLOW THE SUN are pleased to
announce a North American tour this fall supporting German metal legends Kreator
and Accept! The North American Teutonic Terror Attack will commence on September
5, 2012 in Washington D.C. and annihilate 23 cities throughout the U.S. and
Canada. Additional support will come from Canadian death metallers Blackguard.
Exclusive internet pre-sale tickets are available online at EnterTheVault.com through May 26. General tickets
go on sale May 27 through all regular ticketing
outlets.
On their fifth stateside tour, SWALLOW THE SUN will bring the
fruits of their latest offering, Emerald
Forest and the Blackbird, set for North American release through Spinefarm
Records U.S. later this year. Noted by Global Domination for its juggling of
“disparate elements such as beautiful melody, lumbering, doomy riffs,
black/death-growling, and a mood of gothy melancholy in such a way that no one
aspect ever comes to overshadow the others,” the 10-track recording entered the
official chart in Finland at position No. 2 upon its European release. Emerald Forest and the Blackbird was
recorded during September and October 2011 by Mikko Karmila (Nightwish,
Amorphis, Children Of Bodom) at Drumforest Studios in Viitasaari and Sonic Pump
2 in Helsinki by Hannu Honkonen at Noisework Studios, also in Helsinki. The
effort was mixed by Hiili Hiilesmaa (Him, Apocalyptica, Amorphis, Moonspell) and
mastered by Mika Jussila (Nightwish, Amorphis, Sentenced) at Finnvox Studios.
Check out the video for “Cathedral Walls” featuring a guest vocal appearance by
Nightwish singer Anette Olzon below.
