Spinefarm Records UK will release the fifth studio album from Finnish doom metallers SWALLOW THE SUN, in the UK on November 9th. The album will be released in North America on the 10th.
New Moon is being produced and mixed by Jens Bogren, who has previously worked with such acts as KATATONIA, OPETH, PARADISE LOST and AMON AMARTH.
Kai Hahto (WINTERSUN, ex-ROTTEN SOUND) has been recruited to play drums on the album, following the recent departure of longtime skinsman Pasi Pasanen.

Back in 2008, the Finnish sextet played their first ever UK date on the main-stage at the annual Bloodstock Festival, following this up with a full UK tour special guesting with cello maestros, APOCALYPTICA. Their next confirmed date over here is at this year’s Metalfest in Dudley on September 26th.
Spinefarm Records UK recently re-issued the bands’ first two albums – The Morning Never Came (originally released in 2003) and Ghosts Of Loss (2005). The classic Hope album, which charted in the Finnish Top 3 back in 2007, has also been re-issued by Spinefarm in the UK.
