SWALLOW THE SUN

Alexis has been singing the praises of this band since the last time she saw them live, but the experience was a first for me. Man, was she right!

Anyone who’s heard the band’s albums knows that they have a talent for melding doom and death metal into a concoction that is by turns mesmerizing, beautiful, and brutal. And they bring all of that to the stage — meticulous playing that creates an array of shifting moods, and is shitloads of fun to watch. They sure has hell had the crowd at El Corazon in a trance, broken only by the wildly enthusiastic response as each song ended.

If you have the chance to see this band in the flesh, don’t pass it up. It’s the kind of performance that sticks with you.
