As we moved into the tail end of last year’s brand new releases, we came to greet one of the most ambitious releases of 2015. In the day and age we live in now demanding people’s attention is a tricky affair, with bands like Periphery opting for the release of a double album, Prog heavy weights Dream Theater also deciding to go down the same route but none have the kind of ambition taken on by Swallow The Sun. Taking the high road and releasing a triple album the Finns had their work cut out for them but had they bitten off more than they could chew? We spoke to Juuso Rattikainen the band’s drummer regarding the recording and writing process for this behemoth of an album, whether he thought that releasing an album the same running time as  Lord of the Rings was a risky move in this instant gratification age and what the band’s plans are now for 2016.
