And the Light Swallowed Everything is the third full-length studio album by Seirom, released on May 1, 2014 by Burning World Records.[1][2][3]
Reception
Kez Whelan of Terrorizer lauded the album, describing the music as "hauntingly, harrowingly, luminously beautiful." He concluded by saying, "Do you know when death or near-death experiences are sometimes portrayed in the movies from the perspective of the dying, when there’s a huge flash of white light that fills the whole screen? This album is a sort of sonic equivalent to a still frame of that exact moment."[4]
