Swallow the Sun

Swallow the Sun, a band that blends melodic doom and death metal, is one of the indisputable jewels of Finnish metal music. The internationally acclaimed band’s latest album, Shining, released in October 2024, is already being hailed as one of the best metal albums of recent years – both fierce and beautiful, like a freezing sunrise in the night sky.

The boldness and depth of Swallow the Sun’s latest releases, along with their extensive world tours in recent years, have propelled the band to new heights. At Ilosaarirock, they will deliver an intense and immersive performance that will leave a lasting impact on the audience long after Laulurinne’s stage falls silent.
