"Plague of Butterflies", the new EP from SWALLOW THE SUN, recently entered the single chart in the band's home country at position No. 1.

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 UK and September 23 in the U.S. via Spinefarm Records.

Commented the band: "'Plague of Butterflies' is a story about an old hermit, deep woods, loneliness and the plague. It's one song in three parts and holds about 35 minutes of crushing gloom, beauty and despair. Music was originally ordered from us for a really interesting and big project, but the project was sadly abandoned. Because of this we are planning to use the music in different context — namely in a short movie — and we are in search for suitable partners to make this happen. We'll give more info on this later as things move on and wheels start to roll."

"Plague of Butterflies" track listing:

01. Losing the Sunsets
02. Plague of Butterflies
03. Evael 10:00

SWALLOW THE SUN was interviewed by "Angel Of Metal" at the Bloodstock Open Air 2008 festival, which was held August 15-17 at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, England. Watch the nine-minute chat below.
