Swallow the SunFri 5 Feb – Swallow the Sun
This was my 2nd time to see Swallow the Sun, first one being at Meteliklub at Ilosaarirock 2009. It looked like I wasn't going to the show, but after some quick arrangements I got into the bus to Joensuu and after a 3 hour trip I grabbed a pizza and went to my friend's appartment to start drinking. After a couple of beers, we moved to Kellari around half past ten. Before the gig I bought a The Morning Never Came T-shirt and some drinks before moving to 2nd row around 23:20.
Swallow the Sun started playing around half past eleven. Naturally they opened with
These Woods Breathe Evil since they're supporting their album New Moon, followed by Falling World. After Falling World someone asked them to play old stuff and he got what he wanted, since next up was Out of This Gloomy Light. Around this track I managed to get to the front row.
Gig went on withSleepless Swans and Plague of Butterflies followed by a streak of hits with Don't Fall Asleep (Horror Pt. 2), These Hours of Despair, New Moon and Descending Winters. After "Winters" band went off the stage only to return soon to play the encores The Giant and ofcourse last but not least, Swallow. After the gig I shook Mikko's hand and got the setlist ;)
Overall it was a great gig, although the gig at Meteliklubi had better sounds then this one, mainly because a club venue doesn't have so big stage and there isn't so much room. Nevertheless, a great way to start the gigging year, can't wait to see them again!
