Skellington Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Swallow the Sun - Songs from the North I, II & III Melancholy death-doom masters SWALLOW THE SUN bring us a bold, adventurous and characteristically dark triple full-length album entitled "Songs from the North I, II & III", which will be released on November 13, 2015 via Century Media Records!Incorporating dark menace and gradations of death, black and funeral doom, each of the three albums of "Songs from the North I, II & III" embodies the band's unofficial band motto, "Gloom, Beauty & Despair":"Songs from the North I" continues in the vein of the albums before it - first-rate death-doom in the typical style of SWALLOW THE SUN.Track-listing:1. With You Came the Whole of the World's Tears2. 10 Silver Bullets3. Rooms and Shadows4. Heartstrings Shattering5. Silhouettes6. The Memory of Light7. Lost & Catatonic8. From Happiness to DustTotal playing time: 59:20"Songs from the North II" is a beautiful, acoustic foray representing the group's ability to unplug and revel in the darkness.Track-listing:1. The Womb of Winter2. The Heart of a Cold White Land3. Away4. Pray for the Winds to Come5. Songs from the North6. 66°50´N,28°40´E7. Autumn Fire8. Before the Summer DiesTotal playing time: 42:33"Songs from the North III" is the most extreme album, a complete ride into SWALLOW THE SUN's most horrific abyss of finely-crafted, conscience-crushing funeral doom.Track-listing:1. The Gathering of Black Moths2. 7 Hours Late3. Empires of Loneliness4. Abandoned by the Light5. The Clouds Prepare for BattleTotal playing time: 51:57"Songs from the North I, II & III" will be available as Special Edition 3CD Box containing 3 Digipaks and a booklet, Ltd. Deluxe Edition 5LP+3CD Box with each album in a gatefold sleeve & as digital album.Main songwriter and guitarist Juha Raivio comments on the triple album concept: "Making a triple album in this godforsaken digital and modern day and age...Many will say it's madness. I say it is to bring worth, heart and respect back into the music and to the album format where it belongs. This should never turn into a shallow fast food industry where music is only downloaded one song at a time.These albums hold life, death, gloom, beauty and despair in their deepest levels and forms. The three chapters are different but connected, one long journey through these songs written up here in the North. via - http://www.centurymedia.com/newsdetailed.aspx?IdNews=16389&IdCompany=2 5 LP + 3 CD Pre-order up now $45 - http://www.cmdistro.com/item/37434 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorlessbodies Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Very reasonable price for a 5 LP boxset. Just wonder which is the cover, the one listed on the US site or the one listed on the EU site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
