Name: A Swarm of the Sun - Zenith by Version Studio Records in Post Rock
Duration: 10 min 34 s
Description: The Swedish duo finds their influences in a number of different genres - including post rock, indie rock, assorted electronics and film scores - and slowly builds the emotional entity that is ”Zenith”. Hopefully, the result is an album in a world of tracks; something serious in a world that fears serious; something that demands slow attention.

Time Destroys Everything, But Our Foundation Remains

Cinematic instrumental post-rock band from Los Angeles, California, Whale Fall is preparing to release their sophomore album, The Madrean, in late 2014.  www.whalefall.com

The Dawn Thief

The Swedish duo A Swarm of the Sun will release their third album, "The Rifts", on January 30, 2015. It is a bleak and beautiful journey through the innermost landscapes of the heart and soul. A brooding album about losing hope, dreams falling apart, isolation and final moments of clarity and redemption. Unquestionably, this is the band's darkest and most emotional album to date.

A Swarm of the Sun is Erik Nilsson and Jakob Berglund. "The Rifts" is written and produced by the band, and recorded by Erik Nilsson at Garaget Studio and The Church of Brännkyrka. Drums are performed and recorded by Karl Daniel Lidén (Vaka, The Old Wind) at Studio Gröndahl. The album is mixed and mastered by the acclaimed Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna, Refused, Khoma, Pg.lost).

The Day of the Locusts...

No one can hear your screams 
When they left you there, Tuthankhamun's Tomb
Anubis on your shoulder
The cackle from the jackal fills the room
Thousands of scarabs cover your body
Ready to devour your mortal remains
Onset of crazy fever 
Slowly driving you insane

Powerful Khepri
Can you save me ?

Alone with the Pharoh king
Waiting for the barge to the underworld
Gold and diamonds, all possesions
Fall to the floor as the shroud unfurls
Trapped in the tomb, you gasp for air
And pray to Ra for your release
Whole body slowly failing
As you sit and wait for the final feast

Only your soul
For eternity


Tutankhamun's Tomb (2025 Mix)

Previously unreleased track by A Swarm of the Sun. The song is called Deliver Us From Our Dreams and is featured as an official demo of the Birgir Jón Birgisson (Sigur Rós) produced Post-Rock EZX-expansion for EZDrummer 2 drum production tools.

The track was originally intended as a ten-minute instrumental piece for the band's latest album The Rifts, released in January 2015. When Toontrack asked A Swarm of the Sun to make a demo for their new expansion, it seemed like a great opportunity to give new purpose to the song.

No Particular Night Or Morning

Behind each of the six tracks a truly hard and consistent creative labour is found, where the care for the details creates a complex whole. A great deal of the band’s strength can be found in their use of contrast: It is hard and soft, fast and slow, beautiful and flawed. All at the same time.

A Swarm of the Sun has abandoned genre, because it is the shackle of creativity. Instead, the central notions are emotions and concept. So even if A Swarm of the Sun moves behind the curtains of many different genres – and draws influences from both industrial, post rock, sludge, post hardcore and heavier rock – the band never completely enters any single stage.
