Founded in 2020 in Kuopio, Finland and combining melodic death, heavy and folk metal, Swansong are bringing their very own blend and something new to the metal scene. Powerful melodies with hard-hitting riffs revive the 80s and 90s, and at the same time the old school elements get a fresh & modern twist with female death growls and screams! Featuring experienced musicians from such bands as Verjnuarmu, Tornado, Carnal Demise and Sadistic Forest, Swansong’s debut is a release you definitely don’t want to miss!
