Additional notes
Swallow the Sun was formed in 2000 by Juha Raivio, soon joined by his friend Pasi Pasanen. A full six-piece line-up was built in 2001, then the band released its first demo at the beginning of 2003 and signed after a few months to Firebox Records. They subsequently recorded two full-lengths, with the 2005 single Forgive Her... entering the Finnish top 20 singles chart at the fourth place. They signed to Spinefarm Records in 2006.
