Swallow The Sun release live video for "Don’t Fall Asleep (Horror, Pt. II) [Live in Helsinki]"
Finnish doom metal group Swallow The Sun have dropped the live video for "Don’t Fall Asleep (Horror, Pt. II) [Live in Helsinki]" today.
The visual stems from the band’s forthcoming live album 20 Years of Gloom, Beauty and Despair – Live in Helsinki, which is slated for a July 30th release on Century Media Records. Pre-orders for the release can be made here. 20 Years of Gloom, Beauty and Despair – Live in Helsinki will be released on a limited 2CD+DVD Digipak, a Gatefold 3LP+DVD, and as a digital album.
Vocalist Mikko Kotamäki said this about the forthcoming release:
“We were supposed to play anniversary shows in Europe and North America. We started our European tour in Finland in February 2020 and played 10 gigs. Everything got canceled two weeks after that. Luckily, we filmed and recorded our gig in Helsinki. Now, everyone can see it. At the time, we didn't know the footage or recordings would be used for this purpose.”
The rest of the band stated:
“This is the first single from our upcoming live album. 'Don’t Fall Asleep' is an old classic from 2007, which was also released as a single from our "Hope" album back then. We played a special fan voted setlist that night in Helsinki. So expect nothing but hits and classics. Enjoy!"
Swallow The Sun’s last studio album was 2019’s When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light.
