No. That is the answer to the question about the Bodom thingy, because Swallow The Sun present a very decent song called The Giant, an epic masterpiece of 11 minutes. This isn´t melodic death metal people, this is grade A superb doom metal with a big resemblance to Opeth, but not that technical and with less variation. Nonetheless, I can go along with this album, especially when stoned. Second song Descending Winters is another great song with eerie riffs and a vocalist who knows how to use his voice. I remember falling asleep twice during this record and not because it was boring. It made me really calm down after a hard day of work. I decided to listen it again when I had to drive for awhile and this 65 minute epos is the perfect thing for it.

 

I really enjoyed this album and will keep an eye out for this band. This is a classy release from Firebox Records and definitely something for people digging a well-fuelled combination of doom and (death) metal with a various range of songs. Never did a song of this record sound the same twice to me and I really liked that. However, I read various reviews on the internet about this not being an original record because they resemble quite a lot with their first album. Well, I do not know their first album so this is original enough for me!
