"The first years of my life I lived in Lapland, very high up North in Finland.

You're my beloved band 🖤 🖤 🖤 Your music is the most beautifull art on this world.... True and touching. Swallow the sun will be always my number one... You're my saviour... I love you🖤🖤🖤
6:22 Niin laulut Pohjolan kun sammuu, hiipuu hiljaa Hallatar kun viljaa lyö, ja yö tuo kuninkaan tuon talven maan Niin routaan kaivetaan, lepoon oman maan Ja laulut Pohjolan mukaan vain saan Swallow the Sun - "Songs From The North" (feat. Kaisa Vala)
The coordinates are those of a town called "Salla" in North-Eastern Finland. Not sure why the band chose it as their topic, maybe they're from there? Only thing I could find about the town is that it launched a bid to hold the 2032 Summer Olympics to raise awareness for climate change and its effects on the ecosystem.
Band is from Jyväskylä, waay way south of Salla. In an interview they said that Salla (or that specific spot?) is an important place to Raivio, but didn't specify why.

TOTALLY INCREDIBLE! Unfortunately, I don't currently have access to a DVD player. If this concert was available digitally, I would purchase it, my only alternative is to wait for someone to rip it.
The title of this songs coordinates point towards a small roundabout in a small town in north eastern Finland. Not sure what the significance is but I'm sure it's something personal to them. Or possibly something tragic happened there. Who knows?

oh wow ! It sounds so great ! Its really sad and melancholic melody there. It sounds little bit like by Clouds or Anathema. But no matter. Still masterpiece and thanks to this album, maybe my mother or sister, will understand, why I am listening doom metal ! =D
Die Melodien sind großartig, der Gesang dabei ist aber absolut grenzwertig mies. Mit nem/ner richtigen Sänger*in wäre die Band zweifelsohne monumental!
Those are coordinates and it's how you read latitude and longitude on a map, atlas or globe. Those specific coordinates point towards a small roundabout in a small town in north eastern Finland. Not sure what the significance is but I'm sure it's something personal to them.

The curious thing is that these melodies remind me of my childhood memories - despite living them in an urban environment ;)
Just read it there before arriving here. Love this song.
this has been in my playlist for two years and today is the first time im listening to it. shame
Это так красиво! Как же я рад что есть такая группа как Swallow The Sun. Привет из России!
A great band, who found his unique path in the world of music.
Juha, the master of the melodies of our time...
Anyone who says metal isn't beautiful hasn't heard this.
It's official. People who complain about the title don't know what coordinates are anymore.
