Don't Fall Asleep

I love when bands release EPs before an upcoming album. It gives you a preview of whats to come which is usually great. Of course there are some EPs that are made to warn you an upcoming album will be shit. (Looking at you In Flames)

The first song is an edited version of Don't Fall Asleep (Horror Pt. 2). While a great song when edited I highly recommend the full version which is also on this EP, as it's the full song and how it was originally supposed to be. Next up we have one of the greatest covers ever done. The original is done by some people who aren't important. The clean vocals are done by Tomi of Amorphis who has an amazing voice. The growling is handled by Mikko of Swallow the Sun who sounds better than ever. I really love the sync part they have near the end, singing with growling over it.
The final song is the full version of Don't Fall Asleep (Horror Pt. 2). Which might just be Swallow the Sun's best song ever. The lyrics really standout in this song and are some of the best that I have read from Mikko The guitar melody at 1:58 is also something to note down.

All in all this is a really nice little EP that shows us Swallow the Sun hadn't lost their touch just yet. If you're a fan of the band then you already have the album Hope in which case, you should get this EP for the amazing cover.
