A Swarm of the Sun Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Returning from time apart to a world forever changed, dread-fuelled duo A Swarm of the Sun bring with them their fourth studio album, ‘An Empire’; its brooding, yet beautiful, melancholic narrative arc allows the band to dig ever deeper into desolation whilst a lyrical focus adds a tenderness that is both harrowing and heartwarming at once. Formed in Stockholm, Sweden; Erik Nilsson and Jakob Berglund have been producing inimitable, sombre soundscapes as A Swarm of the Sun since the early 2000s. A series of monumental albums, 2010’s groundbreaking debut ‘’, post-metal masterpiece ‘’ in 2015 and its breathtakingly stark follow up ‘’ in 2019 have seen the understated outfit carve out their own uncompromisingly bleak place within the international heavy scene. With each release, the band has evolved, pushing the boundaries of their sonic palette. ‘An Empire’, their upcoming fourth studio album, is a six-track tale told in four distinct movements that are nothing short of devastating, from plaintive piano ballads to raw, full-band fury. ‘An Empire’ marks a significant evolution of A Swarm of the Sun’s already indelible post-metal sound. With increasingly bleak times forcing the band to reassess their relationship with creativity and suffering, this new body of work captures all the anthemic, intimate highs and crushing, debilitating lows of modern life on a knife edge.
