SWALLOW THE SUN Checks In From The Road

February 23, 2009

Finnish doom metallers SWALLOW THE SUN have issued the following update:

"We want to thank all of the new and old fans for making last year another successful chapter for us, thank you all!!

"We released the 'Plague of Butterflies' mini album and reached our first No. 1 position on Finnish single charts with it. We toured England for the first time supporting APOCALYPTICA on their U.K. tour and played big festivals in England and Czech Republic. We also signed new merchandise, booking agency and management deals worldwide, so it didn't turn out to be as quiet resting year as we planned it to be!

"And about 2009... NEW ALBUM!!

"Yes, we are currently touring a massive North American tour [with SOILWORK and DARKANE], and after coming back to Finland we will do some selected festivals before entering the studio next summer. So, all you who survived the hands of the plague last year will be harvested by the new gloom of SWALLOW THE SUN next fall 2009.

"More news about the new album fill follow during this spring and summer.

"If you are coming to see us on U.S. tour, make sure to be there in time. We are the first band on the bill, and you might want to check the venue for playing times."

An e-card for "Plague of Butterflies" can be accessed at this location. The CD was released on September 17 in Finland, September 22 in the U.K. and September 23 in the U.S. via Spinefarm Records.
