Swallow the Sun - Cathedral Walls | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@FemaleMetalLover]

Swallow the Sun have got to my favourite doom metal band along with Draconian. RIP Aleah Starbridge who you saw in this video - the vocals actually belong to Anette Olzon (ex Nightwish). Aleah, however, does beautiful vocals on Heartstrings Shattering, and on all of the Trees of Eternity songs, my absolute favourite: The Passage. But yes, you need DRACONIAN! Stellar Tombs is a good start.

[@markpalavosvrahotes5575]

Did you ever hear Songs From The North the triple album? Listening to all in one sitting is a challenge. Plague of Butterflies is my favorite EP.

[@nicholaslindsey7087]

Yes!!!! Swallow the Sun is absolutely amazing, every album of theirs is a masterpiece of music

[@mralireza931]

I was lucky enough to go to their show just before the virus. It quickly became my all time favourite live performance.

Reacting on STS is easy

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

The dark-haired gal seen in the video is Aleah Stanbridge, who passed away from cancer before her Trees Of Eternity album was released back in 2016. She is also the gal on the cover of the Swallow The Sun - Songs From The North album.

@sopwithsnoopy Well, who is on the cover is the model Valentine Reltien, but it was Aleah who took the picture. She was a photographer too ;)

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

@@philipgiger3411 my bad then. I've seen album reviews where they said it was Aleah on the cover. I guess I should get out my cd and look in the liner notes :)

Kai Hahto plays on the drums, during this music video. Also the same drummer from Nightwish.

Kai Hahto on drums in this one. He is a legend.

Yeah Swallow the sun 🇫🇮❤💯🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@redduskironsky1058]

I still have my unbeatable doom trio in Draconian, Swallow The Sun and Hanging Garden. Those really are my winter bands. A close fourth would be Novembers Doom. All amazing bands with the most beautiful but melancholic music.

[@BlackMoore82]

Just saw Swallow the Sun for the 6th time this past Wednesday evening. it was wonderful seeing them perform 'Cathedral Walls', 'The Void' off their new album, 'New Moon', 'Descending Winters', and 'Swallow (Horror Pt. 1)' 🖤

[@thorwulfx1]

One of my favorite bands. Swallow the Sun have incredible range, everything from beautiful, folk-infused melancholia (disk two of Songs from the North), to the most crushingly heavy doom/death. And, for a while, Kai was their drummer. In a strange twist of bad luck, I managed to see both Wintersun and StS when Kai wasn't touring with them.

[@elk3407]

Swallow The Sun even did a pretty good job at their more Funeral Doom styled stuff at the end of Songs From The North.

[@Enochulator]

@@elk3407 a pretty good job? c'mon man!

[@elk3407]

@@Enochulator All I'm saying is I'd pick Esoteric over Swallow The Sun if I'm in the mood for Funeral Doom, but STS's Funeral Doom stuff is still a 9.5/10

[@Enochulator]

@@elk3407 fair. i'd probably not go directly to STS for funeral doom, but i certainly won't skip the track if it comes up. now hallatar...

[@MarceloVivallo]

Emerald Forest and the Blackbird is a masterpiece!!! a jewel of doom metal!!! Kai in drums in this song is amazing!

[@ATrainHC]

My favorite Finns! They are so underrated.

[@timpuktu123]

I saw them performing for the first time this song since Aleah's death and it was heartbreaking (Aleah is in the video and sings most of the female vocalists in Swallow the sun.She was also this band's guitarist's wife) ❤

[@Khaotika]

This comes really late, but still needs to be said - it's not Aleah on this track, it's Anette Olzon from Nightwish.

[@zahrans]

@@Khaotika Sure but Aleah DOES (or did) sing in other STS releases

[@Skybolt211]

Annette on vocals, Kai on drums..... a couple connections to Nightwish.

[@ChamithaPriyasankha]

And RIP Aleah

[@manupeh]

It is not Annette on vocals.. It is Aleah...

[@s.o.r1017]

I think it is Annette on vocals but yeah it is aleah in the video and aleah was and is amazing defintly need to more of her stuff on this channel but it does defintly sound very close to aleah it had me thinking the same thing

[@ktosomcosom19]

@@manupeh with a bit of research, you can find out it indeed was Annette. As you weren't able to distinguish between two different voices..

Great Band! Check the Band Draconian...

[@jimmyforsell6721]

I was on a Swallow the Sun consert in my home town Vasa Finland last year. It was great and they played this song.

[@ATrainHC]

I love StS!!!! I've seen them a couple of times now. The last time was on tour with Children of Bodom before Alexi passed away.

Welcome to the Doom

Nice little mindfuck as the female singer is Anette but the girl in the video is Aleah (R.I.P) who sings on couple other tracks on this album :P

[@thomasorn8009]

[@ayuxx10]

Man, I love Swallow the Sun. You should do their song Falling World. Kai's drumming on that one too.

RIP Aleah. 🤘😔

What a song! Very nice reaction too! Next from them i would try : SWALLOW THE SUN - Firelights

[@lujalainen1]

first time i hear too this song. very strong song about mood and feelings. kai hahto truly can change different type of music very easy. thanx and have great day there.

React to more death doom or funeral doom: Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Autopsy, Winter, Asphyx, Hooded Menace, Funeral, Evoke, Skepticism, Rippikoulu & Acid Witch.

Very Nice !

Several connections to NW, and yet another great finnish-metal band. Great discovery from your channel. Please, react to Burning Point: Black Star.

[@jimmyforsell6721]

Anette is on vocals on this one because the original singer died before the making of this song.

[@philipgiger3411]

@Jimmy Forsell It's not correct. This song was released in 2012, and Aleah died in 2016. By the way, it's Aleah herself who is acting in this video - with Anette's vocals ;)

[@josephd.davison6766]

the woman who sings in this video, after a while had an accident and died :''v

[@paulr1193]

The woman who actually sings here is the wonderful Anette Olzen (ex Nightwish) and is still very much alive. The beautiful lady who appears in the video holding the ashes urn and lip-synching the final verse is Aleah Stanbridge, who sadly passed away from cancer in 2016. Check out her posthumous albums with Trees Of Eternity and solo, Aleah (both available in full here on YT). The voice of an angel. R.I.P.
