Finnish Death-Doom Metal masters Swallow The Sun will release the live album 20 Years of Gloom, Beauty and Despair – Live in Helsinki on 30 July. The band have shared the track Don’t Fall Asleep (Horror, Pt. II), which you can watch below.
To celebrate the bands anniversary, “We were supposed to play anniversary shows in Europe and North America,” vocalist Mikko Kotamäki says. “We started our European tour in Finland in February 2020 and played ten gigs. Everything got cancelled 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.”
Don’t Fall Asleep (Horror, Pt. II) “is an old classic from 2007, which was also released as a single from our Hope album back then, ” the band said. “We played a special fan-voted setlist that night in Helsinki. So expect nothing but hits and classics. Enjoy.”
