Swallow The Sun

Swallow the Sun is a Finnish death-doom band founded in 2000 by Juha Raivio. The band currently consists of guitarist and founder Juha Raivio, vocalist Mikko Kotamäki, drummer Juuso Raatikainen, guitarist Juho Räihä, and bassist Matti Honkonen. Their death-doom style emphasizes melody and atmosphere, and occasionally steps into gothic and black metal territory. They have released nine studio albums, one triple album, one EP, one demo, one live album and seven singles as of 2026. The band name originates from the long winter seasons of Finland where the Sun would be blocked for months. Its name also references Nordic myths about creatures swallowing the Sun from the sky, usually signifying the end of the world.
