With "Woven Into Sorrow", Swallow The Sun present a new single and video taken off their upcoming album Moonflowers, which will be released worldwide on November 19.

The new track is the first heavy version to be released off the record, as the band already released very special classical editions of the regular album songs. Both versions - classical string and regular album version - are as dark and mournful as we are accustomed to Swallow The Sun.

Frontman Mikko Kotamäki comments: “Here it is! The first single of Moonflowers is out! ‘Woven Into Sorrow’ is probably the gloomiest track of the album. The backing growls for this song came by Antti Hyyrynen from Stam1na. Enjoy the misery!”

Moonflowers will be available as Ltd. Deluxe sky blue 3LP+2CD & Art Print Box Set, Ltd. 2CD Mediabook, Gatefold black 2LP+CD and digital album (incl. Bonus album) and can be pre-ordered here.
