#558 - Juha Raivio (Swallow The Sun)

Swallow The Sun founder Juha Raina is our guest on this week's
episode of The MetalSucks Podcast! We start our conversation by
discussing what went into following up to the acclaimed Moonflowers
album, the intense personal lyrical content on Shining, his need to
constantly be move to stay sane, and why living in a reclusive
environment is like paradise when he's not on the road. We also
talked about how the band connected with Muse and Bring Me The
Horizon producer Dan Lancaster for the new album, how Queen
influenced some of the songs, and the surprising negativity still's
in heavy metal when it comes to same sex representation. Petar and
Sylvia discuss Scotti Hill’s comment of Skid Row reuniting with
Sebastian Bach possibly leading to a Jane’s Addiction onstage
meltdown, the price tag for Tool’s 30th anniversary of “Undertow”
on compact disc, Avenged Sevenfold getting cooler in their old age
by sabotaging Journey at Rock In Rio, and Foo Fighters canceling
their upcoming performance on short notice. Song: Swallow The Sun
