SWALLOW THE SUN Sign Worldwide Album Contract With Century Media Records
June 16th, 2015

Jyväskylä, Finland-based death / doom metal group Swallow The Sun signed a worldwide album contract with Century Media Records, revealing this development on June 16th, 2015.

Vocalist Mikko Kotamäki issued the following statement: “We are really excited to be a part of the Century Media family, of a label which has done great work for years with many bands. This is also good news for all our fans because from now on our coming albums are more easily found all over the world. We are currently working on new songs in the studio for a release coming out later this year. More good news coming soon!”

Century Media Records Europe Head Of A&R Jens Prueter shared the following words, meanwhile: “It’s probably no news that we love the dark side of Finland. But we are very proud to finally work with one of the darkest Finnish bands that have spread their gospel of doom for the last 15 years. I first took notice of Swallow The Sun when my Century Media colleague Philipp Schulte released their debut album on vinyl on his own label Imperium Productions. Since then I’ve met them at several shows with bands like Moonsorrow, Insomnium and Paradise Lost, and became a fan of their unique mix of doom, death and despair. It’s an honour to start our direct relationship with a very special release later this year. Kippis, Cheers and Prost on the the next 15 years!”

Fifth studio record Emerald Forest And The Blackbird was released in February 2012.
