SWALLOW THE SUN, BEFORE THE DAWN, STAM1NA - Bratislava

19 / 04 / 2025 / BRATISLAVA / RANDAL

For over two decades, Swallow the Sun has been shaped and driven by despair, beauty, and pain, reaching the top of the charts and receiving two Finnish Grammy nominations. Now, they bring their dose of beautiful and majestic melancholy, along with their new album "Shining", to Prague and Bratislava in April.

Shining is the first step on a new journey into the unknown. It's an exceptional album, not only because of the beauty and strength of each track but also because the band has sought something new, something brighter that will lead them to new realms. It captures the deep duality of the human experience, exploring the inner challenges of existence, contrasting the beauty and purity of individuals with the transformation that happens when people come together. The album highlights the struggle and disillusionment in interpersonal relationships, delving into the deeply rooted fear of life and how melancholy can gradually become your god.

Before The Dawn is a Finnish melodic death/gothic metal band founded in 1999 by Tuomas Saukkonen as a solo project. After several lineup changes and multiple album releases, they gained attention for their dark atmosphere and melodic riffs. After disbanding in 2013 and returning in 2021, they released Stormbringers in 2023 and continued their work with the Archaic Flame EP in 2024.

Stam1na is a Finnish metal legend with over 27 years of history and several gold and platinum albums. Known for their energetic performances, they dominate stages across Finland and beyond.
