What attracted me to Swallow The Sun in the first place? Hard to say, but it was definitely their take on combining elements of doom and melodic death metal and putting their own spin on the outcome. And while not originators of this not easily defined genre, Swallow The Sun stayed somewhat true to their basic formula over the years. Read more ›› |

I really dig Night Will Forgive Us. Always my favorite song from this album.

Very average album. The slower parts have a good atmosphere, the growling is not spectacular and the instruments are really average at best. I honestly believe that any album with growling and sad slow parts gets a high rating on metal storm unless it really sucks...

4 good tracks. Cathedral Walls, Labyrinth of London, Of Death And Corruption and Night Will Forgive Us. The rest is pretty forgettable.

I struggle to understand the negativity around this album. Emerald Forest has it all for me and really feels like a nice mix of older and newer STS put into one nice package. Its got the slow doomy tracks (title track, April 14th), the more melodeath type tracks (Hate Lead The Way, Of Death and Corruption), 'New Moon' style clean sung tracks (Silent Towers, This Cut), some tracks which are more of a mix of everything (Hearts Wide Shut, Labyrinth), one of their best singles they've ever released (Cathedral Walls) and one of the most impressively complex build-up songs i've ever heard and greatest album closure ever in "Night Will Forgive Us". Just an incredible album. Has everything I want from this band and the more I listen to it the better it gets.
