@@mistercomment1622 Hi, you're right, in my opinion it's closer to Doom Metal, because of the density and depth of the bass.

[@evanescent4951]

Actually one of the best metal albums ever. I hate fact that they are so underrared.

[@Stallan666]

It's been a joy to see their recognition and popularity increase over the years. They deserve it and I know it will keep growing :)

[@thetruechaby]

People ought to stop claiming that every other heavy metal band is underrated. Heavy metal has been enjoying global popularity for quite some time now. For a death/doom metal band, Swallow the Sun have been recognized as one of the premier bands within the subgenre, and dare I say, the entire Finnish metal scene. Their popularity has been steadily increasing for well over a decade now, in both Europe and North America.

[@DGSAVOID]

They re headlining tours in Europa. Thats not a minor thing for something the general population would define as noice. Theres just so much people wired like us. Imo this music is soothing, beautifully crafted and highly enjoyable.

[@Alejandroidee]

Whats the deal if they are underrated, good things come in small packahe, btw, ill be enjoying them live in a moth :[

[@colemanrodrigues320]

Muy pocos valorados y son tan imprecionante

Swallow The Sun have to be the most underrated unknown band ever. They are brilliant in every way, such great melodic doom..... Juha Raivio is a genius.....

[@shmelvinjoestar3586]

Every individual whos into doom metal knows them or has heard of them, these guys are huge.

[@tociUpiorek]

Underrated, Underrated 🙄🙄

[@Venaisky1]

What a masterpiece! Swallow the Sun never get disappoints. I've been in love with Swallow The Sun since 2005. Hails from Brazil..

[@OdeForCruelty]

Moonflowers is one of the most important albums of all time for me, and I'm not saying this lightly. I still listen to it pretty much daily basis. It's been helping me to deal with my own sorrow and despair, the enemy inside of me. Eternal thank you to Juha Raivio and the whole band for this masterpiece.

[@colemanrodrigues320]

Esta banda me levanto de mi deprecion solo el otra parte del mundo combatiendo una guerra q no era mía ,,es tan poderoso lo que producía en mi su sonido me daba vida no si alguien me valla a entender

[@blackkfog]

I hear the voice of Aleah on these songs in my head.. I'm sure she is so proud of you guys! If she only were alive.. 😢

[@thejamesarm]

Yes, I too (most of the time) prefer people to be alive as opposed to being not alive

[@CarlGraham-tu5fw]

This evolution of the genre is awesome...I've been around for 84 years and have kisten to rock from it's beginning...have enjoyed the musical journey and still do!!

[@kontrarien5721]

What an amazing journey! I'm a little over half that far and hope I'll be enjoying whatever music looks like when I get there!

So the KZbin algorithm isn't all that useless after all. Never heard of this band, started listening to this album and ordered it online before it was even halfway through. A masterpiece!

[@joeyharper4483]

You live through the hell that Juha and myself have and not wanting to associate with anyone physically, then maybe you'd understand why. All of you younger people have others to do everything for you, when in our generation we are either alone or figure out how to find people who help us and then cancer or other life events take those people away. You younger people just don't understand or will ever have to. That's the problem with my country and the world today in my opinion, let governments take care of you only to control you when you don't understand that they are!

As TV is broadcasting just a waste this is a perfect film to put on instead of watching the rest. Story captured in this film is awesome. Light the candles, turn off the light and prepare a glass of red wine to make perfect atmosphere for watching this masterpiece of art.

[@johnnydarter]

AMEN 🤘

[@Hrafn22]

As sun is weaker every autumn the atmosphere of this album grows stronger and stronger. I can exactly remember thanks to this album what I was going through three years ago and exactly the strongest moment was when I waved the last goodbye to one person one morning in city I have lived ... the air was cold that morning, something really strange was in the air, tones of this album accompanied me to my small flat and few days on I became sick and also that person which once said how she loves me but as some problems came she wished me the death. This was the last time. I was left on my own ... hard and dark Covid times during winter brought me soon the brightest sun of my life, my beloved one ❤ Soon we will be three years together ❤

[@Steveharrisable]

STS has always been my creed, and the true inspiration to the point that I finally made my death doom metal band because of them !!! From Egypt with pure love and hope

[@sebastianarmas897]

This album was already incredible, but the animations add a whole new element IMO

[@philipgiger9940]

Swallow The Sun, my favorite band of all time. Moonflowers, the most magical album I've heard in my life.

[@StrigoiVampire]

Happiness is shallow, melancholy is deep, that's why it makes you so beautiful.

[@nokiac2015]

This is pure beauty. Both musically and visually... I can feel sadness that flows through this album. Emotion is the strongest buff to the music and Moonflowers made me FEEL it. That's why I adore Swallow the Sun's songs so much. And think that their album is one of the best in this year!

Doom is a catharsis for me and my depression. Moonflowers Bloom In Misery is my favourite track from the album on first listens. Might change, but I doubt it. Either way, cheers for the therapy. Music saves.

[@ragnarbluechip8795]

I often find myself at odds with Doom, perhaps often because of the vocals, but this is spot on for me. I think this will be my "driving to work album" for the next few months

[@Sxcheschka]

Honestly yeah, it's a fucking amazing opening song for the album, lot of points for great use for it, I think it really helps transition the album.

[@androctonus1366]

Same, the first chorus hits like an emotional sledge hammer.

[@4Recreational_Use_Only]

I thought the Devastating hits of the previous album like "Firelights" and "Upon the Water" were the culmination of this Band. Holy SHIT was I wrong. This whole album is a masterpiece and works THE BEST as a full album experience. I'll crawl back to my shadows now...

woven into sorrow's (12:15) dark romantic atmosphere is inspired by Alleah Stanbridge's death even though they announced this inspiration before their last album (when a shadow is forced to the light)was released.

Learn with and through the pain, grow strong with it. Move on, be a better, stronger human being. That's what I get from them and why they are so deeply in my heart. :-)
