Spanish Doom like Swallow the Sun or Anathema

SUN OF THE DYING is a Spanish Doom/Death Metal band based in Madrid. Inspired by genre classics like My Dying Bride, Anathema, and Paradise Lost, as well as more modern bands such as Ahab, Swallow the Sun or Shape of Despair, SUN OF THE DYING walks the path of authentic Doom/Death Metal, unafraid to incorporate touches from many other styles.
The band was founded in 2013 by Casuso (guitar) and Lavín (vocals), and reached a stable lineup in 2017. That same year, they released their debut album, The Roar of the Furious Sea, through Throats Productions.

With the new lineup established and extensive live experience, they recorded their second album, The Earth Is Silent, at The Empty Hall Studios. It was released in November 2019 through AOP Records. The album's positive reception led the band to play throughout Spain, until the pandemic forced a temporary retreat from the stage. They returned to live performances sharing the stage with major acts like Sylvaine, Officium Triste and Evadne, and they reached the finals of the Wacken Metal Battle for the second time.
In late 2024, they returned to The Empty Hall Studio to record their third album, A Throne of Ashes, released in 2025 by AOP Records. The album was mixed and mastered by Javi Félez at Moontower Studios, with artwork by Manuel Cantero.
