SWALLOW THE SUN Claims Finnish Grammy Glory!
In a groundbreaking achievement, SWALLOW THE SUN has won their first-ever Finnish Grammy (Emma Gala Award) for Best Metal Album (2024) with their latest release, 'SHINING.' After two previous nominations, this well-deserved win marks a monumental milestone for the band, solidifying 'SHINING' as the Metal Album of the Year.

The band expresses their gratitude:
“A huge thank you to Backbone Management, Century Media Records, Dan Lancaster, Pasi, Aleksi, Markus, Jaani, and Juha Ruusunen for helping us reach this milestone. We’re also incredibly grateful to all of you who have supported us and listened to our music along the way, this means the world to us!”
More than two decades of despair, beauty, and heartache have not only shaped but fueled Finnish melancholy torchbearers, the chart-topping and Finnish Grammy winner SWALLOW THE SUN.
Formed in Jyväskylä in 2000, the quintet has enjoyed numerous fan-lauded music videos (10+ million YouTube views) and streaming dominance (50+ million Spotify plays), while also embarking on a four-continent, 900-show run over the course of their 25-year career.
Their new music, however, is the group’s first step on the new path to the unknown.
