Swallow the Sun was formed in 2000 by Juha Raivio, soon joined by his friend Pasi Pasanen. A full six-piece line-up was built in 2001, then the band released its first demo at the beginning of 2003 and signed after a few months to Firebox Records. They subsequently recorded two full-lengths, with the 2005 single Forgive Her... entering the Finnish top 20 singles chart at the fourth place. They signed to Spinefarm Records in 2006.

The band surprised fans today by announcing their new album that follows the ambitious triple album, Songs From The North I, II & III, released in 2015. The Finnish melancholy death-doom metal masters will release their new album When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light on January 25th, 2019 through Century Media Records.

According to the label, fueled by personal loss (the album title has its origins in Trees Of Eternity's "Broken Mirror" ) and powered by the will to continue, When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light showcases the group's ability to maintain its signature sound while expanding upon horizons and diving deeper into the crevasse of doom-death metal. Even though the single and the album are conceptually connected, they are musically completely different. While "Lumina Aurea" - featuring Wardruna's Einar Selvik and The Foreshadowing's Marco I. Benevento - marks the band's darkest and most sinister piece of music the band has ever released, When A Shadow Is Forced Into The Light follows a more positive approach and continues in the vein of previous albums - first-rate death-doom in the typical style of Swallow The Sun.
