Commented promoter Yishai Schwartz of Raven Music: "I am proud to announce the first-ever gig of SWALLOW THE SUN in Israel.

"I followed the band since early days and was highly impressed by the process and progression the band has been through. Nowadays SWALLOW THE SUN reached a high level of both creativity and success. It is a direct proof for me that quality and artistic expression can still make it in today's musical world, and SWALLOW THE SUN definitely brings great artistic vision and musical expression in greatest form."

SWALLOW THE SUN is currently supporting KATATONIA on the Swedish band's "New Night Over Europe" tour, also featuring LONG DISTANCE CALLING from Germany.
