The idea of Swallow the Sun was formed in Jyväskylä, Finland in spring 2000 by Juha Raivio. He had few songs that didn’t fit the style of his band at the time, Plutonium Orange. Pasi Pasanen was playing drums in Plutonium Orange at the time, so Juha started rehearsing the songs with him. In 2001 they started to look for people to play with - the first one to join the line-up was Markus Jämsen, whom Pasanen and Raivio already knew from their earlier projects. After Jämsen, along came Mikko Kotamäki from Funeris Nocturnum as the bassist/vocalist. Later on they decided that the band needed keyboards and a dedicated bassist, so they turned to Funeris Nocturnum, from where they got Aleksi Munter on keyboards and Matti Honkonen on bass, and the line-up was complete.

Lineup:
Mikko Kotamaki - Vocals
Juha Raivio - Guitars
Markus Jämsen - Guitars
Matti Honkonen - Bass
Aleksi Munter - Keyboards
Kai Hahto - Drums

Burnt By The Sun - Heart Of Darkness (2009)

Metalcore/Southern Metal From U.S.A. (New Brunswick, New Jersey)
2009 | August 18th | Relapse Records
46,6 MB mp3@CBR192kbps

MySpace

Burnt By the Sun has returned with the staggering new and final album Heart of Darkness. Heart of Darkness clearly stands head and shoulders above the band's renowned catalogue. Every aspect of this legendary band has been pushed to the limit: crushing riffs rain down like cement blocks, drums explode like gunfire and strident vocals howl against a modern dystopian society that besets us all, echoing the music's sonic sentiment. Heart of Darkness is both the heaviest Burnt By The Sun record, and stacked with the band's most memorable songs to date such as Inner Station, Cardiff Giant, Rust | Future Primitive, and The Great American Dream Machine. Burnt By the Sun saved their best for last.

Mike Olender - Vocals (1999-2004, 2007-) (Endeavor, Nora (US), Mosh On Washington)
John Adubato - Guitar (Time's Up, Nurse Ratchet, 6 Foot Refrigerator, Mental Picture (US))
Nick Hale - Guitar (Premonitions of War)
Teddy Patterson III - Bass (Human Remains , The Skies Denied, War Chalking, Gridlink)
Dave Witte - Drums (1999-2004, 2007-) (Human Remains , Discordance Axis, Municipal Waste, Birds of Prey, Redrum (US))

01. Inner Station
02. Cardiff Giant
03. F-Unit
