A Swarm of the Sun is a Swedish post-rock and post-metal duo from Stockholm, consisting of Erik Nilsson and Jakob Berglund. Active since 2007, the pair build slow-burning, desolate soundscapes that draw on doom, sludge and ambient textures - music that sits in a category largely of its own. Their fourth studio album 'An Empire' (2024, Pelagic Records) is widely regarded as one of the defining post-rock records of recent years.
A Swarm of the Sun released 'Live at Dunk Festival 2025' on August 28, 2026 via Dunk!Records, accompanied by an official full-set video.
The band has a confirmed show in Malmö on October 19, 2026 at Babel.
A Swarm of the Sun performed at Dunk!Festival in Ghent, Belgium on May 31, 2025.
The band released their fourth studio album 'An Empire' on Pelagic Records, to widespread critical acclaim in the post-rock community.
