SWALLOW THE SUN: 'Hope' To Be Released On Vinyl

Garden Of Exile Records will release "Hope", the latest album by Finnish doomsters SWALLOW THE SUN, as a double LP. The vinyl release will contain an AMORPHIS cover as a bonus track, featuring a guest appearance by AMORPHIS vocalist Tomi Joutsen. Says the label: "You can expect some nice-colored heavyweight vinyl in a deluxe gatefold cover."

SWALLOW THE SUN's third album, "Hope" entered the Finnish national chart at position No. 3 back in February. The follow-up to 2005's "Ghosts of Loss" was recorded at Seawolf Studios in Helsinki and was mastered at Finnvox studios with Minerva Pappi. The LP features a vocal appearance by Jonas Renkse of KATATONIA on the song "The Justice of Suffering".

SWALLOW THE SUN's video for "Don't Fall Asleep (Horror Pt. 2)" can be found at YouTube.com. Produced by Medialouhos and directed by Antti Hyyrynen, the clip was shot in November 2006.

SWALLOW THE SUN has been confirmed for this year's installment of the Wacken Open Air festival, set to take place August 2-4 in Wacken, Germany.
