‘The Singles Collection (The Spinefarm Years)’ is a new luxurious compilation of singles by the legendary Finnish doom/death metal band Swallow The Sun. It focuses on the Spinefarm era of the band, which is to say their first six releases – five full-length albums and the ‘Plague Of Butterflies’ EP. All of these full-lengths are represented with two songs (the singles) each on 12″ singles, while the EP is included in its entirety on the same format, all of them including the original singles artwork and new liner notes provided by the band itself. The booklet pages and lavish press photos in poster size were made especially for this boxset. Two versions were available: a limited edition of 300 on variously coloured vinyl (now deleted), and the remaining 700 offered on black vinyl. In total, a limited and numbered edition of 1000 units which includes certificate of authenticity. This boxset is a beautifully elegant way to revisit under a new (dark) light the essential parts of the first era of Swallow The Sun, an essential band on the doom scene today. “Swallow the Sun is one of those bands that has created a notable amount of music over the years while remaining true to their own unique sound. They have managed to consistently innovate their thoughtful voice while maintaining their originality.” – Ghost Cult Magazine
