»Shining«, the latest album from Swallow The Sun, encapsulates the profound duality of the human experience and the band’s enduring brilliance. The album explores the intrinsic challenges of being human, contrasting the beauty and purity within individuals with the transformation that occurs when we come together, chasing us away from innocence like rats from Eden. It highlights the struggle and disillusionment in human interactions.

Marking 23 years of their musical progression, »Shining« also symbolizes the band’s pride and resilience, showcasing their brightest and strongest work to date. This album is a testament to Swallow The Sun’s artistic legacy, intertwining existential reflections with their characteristic majestic sound.

This is the deluxe version including two live songs & two edits.
