INBLOGNIUM
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 at 3:00pm by Axl RosenbergSome light in this bleak, bleak, piece of shit world: Insomnium – who may very well be the most fun, if not necessarily the best, melodic death metal band in the world today – are making a new album, and have launched a studio blog to keep fans abreast (ha ha, he said “breast”) of their activitities (ha ha, he said “titties.”).
There’s no fancy design on the blog – it looks exactly like something your dad might have started – but that actually makes me like it more, ’cause it means there’s no publicist secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes.
It also features a healthy dose of early 90’s-style humor: “We woke nice and fresh 9:00 am, NOT!” Ahh. Wayne and Garth would be proud.
The still-to-be titled album should be out later this year. Here’s the band’s video for “Mortal Share.”
Holy fuck balls, do I love Insomnium.
-AR
A melodic death metal band on Metalsucks? To quote Elaine Benes, “Get OUT!”
Loves me some Insomnium when its time to feel depressed and shitty. I always felt like mortal share was an odd choice for a single off and album packed with so many awesome songs, but it’ll do.
best band ever
Insomnium really sound best on rainy days or just whenever. I am now excited, we get new Insomnium this year!
Above The Weeping World has been my rainy day record since it came out. Insomnium, Daylight Dies, Swallow The Sun, and Katatonia are my relaxing music.
I second that Dave.
great band!!!! speaking of katatonia arent they do for an album
this band fucking rules, by far the most talented melo-death band out right now…huge influence of mine
Love this band. Thanks for the heads-up. I dug the last album and look forward to the next one from them.
Agreed. I instantly loved Insomnium when I first heard them. Very few bands can do that to me.
I cannot wait for this one to drop. “Above the Weeping World” is easily one of my favorite CD’s.
I have their first two albums but only heard a couple songs off AtWW,they remind me of Dark Tranquillity in ways, Omnium Gatherum is another great band along those lines!
Yeah, I dont know how to say what hasnt already been said. Insomnium is bloody great.
