    I'm in my 40s and I thought the older I got the more I would probably listen to country music but my taste gets heavier as I age. Never got why people liked growls but I sure love it now even if I have to look up the lyrics. I'm so glad I found STS. Their music catalog is so good that it doesnt seem fair to other bands. If your new to them their music will take you places emotionally and it's awesome. I'm going through some things like we all do in life and I'm thankful to have their music right now to be a form of much needed therapy. I'm surrounded by people that say I listen to devil music and I feel sorry for them to be so happy with mindless beer joint songs. My brother would have loved their music. RiP

      When I was younger I listened to stuff on the faaaaaaaaaaar extreme spectrum of metal, but as I've gotten older I find myself mellowing out a lot finding a niche with bands like STS, Insomnium, Ghost Brigade, Isole, Decembre Noir etc. Something about the dichotomy of those bands is fascinating to me.

    Where do we go from here?
    When these words have been unspoken.
    We carry this burden through the gentle summer rain.
    The convoy is still, still and weeping,
    yet I don’t feel anythin, but these walls around.
    “And the candles on Cathedral Walls
    chase the weak light under Saints eyes,
    over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost.
    in your mourning you’re alone, so alone...........”
    This silence speaks a million words,
    words of comfort so shallow.
    How I wish even for one tear,
    but for my heart it is too late.
    Where do i go ... when the sorrow turns to hate.
    Where do i go from here?
    The Guardian Angels quiet and near,
    slowly turning away, for hell is surely here.
    every step towards the hole in the ground I rot,
    carrying your white coffin, my heart wide shut.
    I will follow you, earth to earth.
    I will follow you, ashes to ashes.
    I will follow you, dust to dust.
    I will follow you!
    How i wish even for one tear,
    but for my heart it is too late,
    when sorrow turns to hate!!

      Куда мне идти, когда печаль превращается в ненависть.
      Куда мне идти отсюда?
      Ангелы-хранители тихие и близкие,
      медленно отворачиваются, свидетельствуя, тому, что ад, безусловно, здесь.
      Каждый шаг к могиле- я разлагался..
      неся твой белый гроб, мое сердце закрыто.
      Я буду следовать за тобой, земля к земле.
      Я буду следовать за тобой, пепел к пеплу.
      Я буду следовать за тобой, прах к праху.
      Я последую за тобой!

    I remember walking into a club in 2010, turning the corner and seeing this band playing. The first time I had heard or seen the song Falling World. I was blown away by it. Mikko was wearing the red Type O Negative Dead Again shirt and I knew this band would be unforgettable. Simply incredible.

    When I first heard that Anette would be in this song, I thought: "Oh no...A pop song with Swallow The Sun? do not want!", but now that I've heard the song, I'm pleasantly surprised of how well she suit with these guys. It's a good song and it reminds me alot of good ol' Draconian.

    It's not only about the song itself, which is great in a more obvious way. This video is outstanding. The faraway looks in the band members eyes, totally immersed in the song; the coreographers movements and facial expressions; the simple yet dense interpretation of the actor (and Aleah); the black colour massive presence... It's mesmerizing, what a great video.

    Where do we go from here?
    When these words have been unspoken.
    We carry this burden through the gentle summer rain.
    The convoy is still... still and weepin, weeepin
    yet I don't feel anythin, but these walls around.
    "And the candles on cathedral walls
    chase the weak light under saints eyes,
    over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost.
    In your mourning.... you're alone, so alone........."
    This silence speaks a million words,
    words of comfort so shallow.
    How I wish even for one tear,
    but for my heart it is too late.
    Where do I go when the sorrow turns to hate.
    Where do I go from here?
    The guardian angels quiet and near,
    slowly turning away, for hell is surely here.
    Every step towards the hole in the ground I rot,
    carrying your white coffin, my heart wide shut.
    I will follow you, earth to earth.
    I will follow you, ashes to ashes.
    I will follow you, dust to dust.
    I will follow you!
    How I wish even for one tear!!
    but for my heart it is too late,
    when sorrow turns to hate.
    "And the candles on cathedral walls
    chase the weak light under Saints eyes
    over you, and your shattered words for the ones you lost.
    In your mourning you're alone, so alone................."

      EvilEmuEmpire I’m with you on that, and it seems growling could be more difficult, as it puts so much more strain on your vocals vs. just singing in the typical/conventional way.

    • @RavenPoe-bz7qx
      @RavenPoe-bz7qx 4 роки тому

      Richteru - Seja um Lixo Dude, you either need to get a dictionary or learn how to read. My comment is not about defining words, it’s about admiring someone’s talents and vocals. A growl is a low guttural sound, “usually” monotonous, for a lack of a better term. Singing, in the most conventional/typical sense, is what you hear most of the times, from pop to rock, and even metal; there are actual notes, ranges, and pitches, the notes can go very high, or very low, there are melodies, etc.. Growling is mostly, if not, only reserved for metal genres. Mikko started out as a pure “growler”, and then started venturing out into unchartered territory, “singing”, watch some of his interviews, you might learn a thing or two about him, and about “singing.” The only concession I will give you here is that growling is a type of singing/vocals, but I would never describe any of his growls as “singing”, because I need to make a distinction where he growls and where he sings. It would be so absurd of me to one day say, wow Eminem “sang” on stage last night and killed it, just to give you an idea of the point I’m trying to make ☺️

You know when you hear even a sliver of music that hooks you in and you get goosebumps and your heart flutters, that happened with the opening bars, literally the first few seconds of melancholy sounding, hope tinged with despair guitars I've been fully hooked since. Mikko has an amazing voice so soft and beautiful one min then all growly and demony and back to soft again, good to hear Anette doing this style, her haunting voice goes perfectly with this and the music itself is perfection, I would love to hear this as an instrumental version I wonder how well it would work like that.
