Listen to The Other Sun's debut "Daimon, Devil, Dawn" in its entirety

The debut full-length of Swedish dark rockers The Other Sun, titled "Daimon, Devil, Dawn", is out today, July 23rd, 2024  and it can now be streamed in all its captivating entirety!

The album can be purchased digitally on Bandcamp and physical copies on vinyl and CD can be found on Invictus Productions and The Ajna Offensive.

Listening to this album, feels a bit like walking into a dimly lit, smokey bar with wooden furniture cracking and faces in the dark that you can't really see, but you know they are staring at you. A fortune teller awaits across the room, and by the time you're getting close to see what cards have been drawn to see your destiny, you wake up and it was just a dream...or was it?

The Other Sun premiere lyric video for the song "Black As Gold"

Swedish evokators of dark rock The Other Sun have premiered today on Deaf Forever a lyric video for the song "Black As Gold", taken from their upcoming album "Daimon, Devil, Dawn", out on on July 23rd, 2024 via Invictus Productions and The Ajna offensive.

"When you read 'dark', don't think of this as an angry, angsty darkness, but rather an exploration of the Inner Self infused with the psychedelic, a Western twang, the profound demeanor of deep-rooted occultism that conjures both the sunrise and the sunset and all that such implies when studied through the individual. Dreams start from darkness and turn into that invisible light which compels the Promethean spirit in Man", explains Invictus Productions in the video description.

Indeed, like travelling back into a shadowy dream in the 70s, the atmosphere is evocative and captivating, rich in passages of absorbing ambience, smoothly blended with psychedelic inspirations.

The Ajna offensive and Invictus Productions have announced today that the debut album by Swedish dark rock band The Other Sun, titled "Daimon, Devil, Dawn" will be released on July 23rd, 2024!

As you might remember, back in 2019 The Other Sun released a truly intriguing cassette EP on Lapis Niger Production, "Horizon Between The Eyes" (see our archive post about it), at the time the band started as a collaboration between writer and musician Frederik Eytzinger (on guitar and vocals) and Tommie Eriksson (drums and guitar).

Now as of 2024, the line-up consists of Fredrik Eytzinger (lyrics, vocals, guitars, bass), Árni Bergur Zoëga (vocals, guitars, bass, drums, keyboards), and Tommie Eriksson (session solo guitars) and their debut album, once again with an impressive cover artwork by artist David S. Herrerías, will be out in Europe through Invictus Productions and in the U.S. through The Ajna Offensive.
