€30.00

Finnish torchbearers Swallow the Sun have returned from the darkest corners to enchant usonce again with brand-new full-length, Moonflowers. The much-anticipated follow-up to thegroup?s straight-to-#1 (Official Finnish Albums Chart), Emma Gaala?nominated (FinnishGrammys) When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light (2019) supersedes previous lodestars?Firelights?, ?Stone Wings?, and ?Lumina Aurea?. If Swallow the Sun couldn?t get any heavieremotionally, Moonflowers piles on markedly. Across the 52-minute effort, primary songwriterJuha Raivio spills everything he?s got into songs like ?Moonflowers Bloom in Misery?, ?Enemy?,?Keep Your Heart Safe from Me?, and riveting album-capper ?This House Has No Home?.Likewise, the artwork for Moonflowers is complementary in its tragic heft. Instead ofcommissioning the album art to an outside party, Raivio used dried flowers he had collectedas well as his own blood to paint the moon that adorns the starkly graceful cover.Moonflowers is yet another downhearted triumph for Swallow the Sun.
