Finnish melodic doom masters Swallow The Sun proudly announce the release of their very first live album, entitled 20 Years Of Gloom, Beauty And Despair - Live In Helsinki. The show for this release, which was filmed and recorded at Tavastia Club in Helsinki, featured two sets: one acoustic set and one fan-voted set, including the band's classics from the past 20 years. Due out on July 30th, 2021 via Century Media Records, it will be available as Ltd. 2CD + DVD Digipak, Gatefold 3LP + DVD and as digital album.

"Finally some good news after a year of cancellations and shitshow! We managed to play only 10 of these special 20th anniversary gigs before the whole world shut down in March 2020 and the rest of the tour got cancelled. Luckily we filmed and recorded one of the gigs, which we now release as our very first live album as we wait to be able to get back on stages again. Enjoy!", comments vocalist Mikko Kotamäki.

About the production he states, "We played the whole Songs From The North II with a string quartet - comprised of very professional musicians, two of whom played on our previous album and appeared with us on the 70000 Tons of Metal cruise in 2018. For the first time, we also asked our fans on social media to vote for their favorite songs from each album. We then played the most-voted songs from every album."
