Joel Kronqvist (drums) about the song:
“We wanted to write a more straightforward rocker with a lot of drive. The star in our Solar system is the source of life as we know it. At the same time Solar storms and radiation can make our technology worthless in a matter of seconds. An even greater threat is man’s actions and the irreversible climate change set to destroy everything the sun has created. Who could be a better guest on a song like that – than our dear friend Robert Lamu of the absolute magnificent Skraeckoedlan”
A dynamic track with atmospheric soundscapes and heavy, fuzzy riffs, ”The Sun” features a solo from guesting guitarist Robert Lamu from the band Skraeckoedlan.

More on Craneium:
The Finnish heavy psych band Craneium has created their own style of fuzzed out music. With a dynamic take on what some describe as stoner rock, the band breathes 70’s heavy rock as well as 90’s desert psychedelia. The music of Craneium washes over you through a constant ebb and flow, while the fuzzy heaviness is complemented by both melodies and atmospheric passages. The band sets out to make music that is diverse yet distinct.
The fourth album Point of No Return will be released by The Sign Records in 2024. The album was recorded by Joona Hassinen at his new Studio Underjord in Finspång, Sweden with mixing and mastering duties handled by legendary Karl Daniel Lidén (Studio Gröndahl). The band has long admired his work with giants such as Lowrider and Greenleaf, and we are more than pleased with the end result. With the songwriting expanding upon the Craneium sound with atmospheric guitar leads and heavy riffing, the dynamics have become more polished and clean. Conceptually, the lyrics deal with the climate catastrophe and the responsibility of mankind for planet Earth. The artwork was handled by psychedelic artist Jaime Zuverza and complements the music perfectly.
