Born from profound grief and forged in melodic despair, Swallow the Sun's masterwork When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light returns — manifesting its devastating beauty across a striking grey double LP reissue via Back On Black!
Originally born from profound personal grief and introspection, When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light is Finnish doom titans Swallow The Sun's most emotionally devastating and triumphant work. Featuring the haunting, soul-wrenching clean and extreme vocals of Mikko Kotamäki, the record balances crushing, glacial heavy passages with soaring, melancholic beauty.
Now given the definitive physical treatment via Back On Black Records, this double-LP pressing on striking grey vinyl offers audiophiles and extreme metal connoisseurs the ultimate immersive experience for an album that Metal Hammer and critics worldwide hailed as a modern doom masterpiece.
