INSOMNIUM ARE MORE EPIC THAN YOU

I am SO FUCKING HAPPY to let you all know that there’s a new Insomnium album, Across the Dark, coming out on Candlelight on September 7. If you like things that are a) epic, b) melodic, c) heavy, and/or d) just plain old fucking awesome, then you need to be listening to Insomnium. ‘Cause they rule. They rule all that they see and all that they don’t. And someday, if I ever have a daughter, I hope a member of Insomnium deflowers her.
You can listen to some samples from Across the Dark here. It sounds like an Insomnium album, which is to say, it sounds friggin’ sweet.

Thanks to reader Ex.Nihilo for the tip!
this is why i like this site.
yeah this bands fucking sick thanks for the post
2009 is none more black: new Insomnium, Swallow The Sun, Katatonia and Paradise Lost albums.
Superb.
fuck yes.. been waiting for this ever since my first listen of above the weeping world
youpiie! Insomnium rules, hell why they don’t have any album on that friggin’ list?!
I just started listening to them a few weeks ago. Really good stuff.
love this band
Above the Weeping World was the shit. This should be sweet.
Agreed
amazing cd, seriously.
True!! where’s AtWW in the top 21?!?!?!?!?
I’m not into core too much, I don’t hate it either… but how can you talk about great bands like this and ignore them in order to promote so much core in the popular lists?
I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!
in the top 3 of the best melo-death bands in the world right now…love this fucking band
WOO! I’ve been waiting for this for a while!
This album is gonna kick your asses.
Just listened to the samples. I was digging them big time until the autotune clean vocals in the third song. Why Insomnium Why!?!?!?!?!?! I don’t mind clean vocals but the autotune is so apparent and fake sounding. FUCK!!!!!!
FUUUUUCK YESSSS!!!!!
Love Insomnium and thanks for posting it… Don’t let Blabbermouth steal yo shit..
Hmmm… note to self, start listening to Insomnium again.
Just heard them today,might get this album.
I heard about this band from your site (Some mentioned in the “21 Best Metal Albums of the 21st Century” so I checked it out.)
Beautiful melodies and lyrics.<3
New Insomnium, Swallow The Sun…yeah, sweet!!
HELL YEAH! THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
after listening to the painfully short samples i gotta say this is shaping up to be a doozy
sept 7 cant come fast enough
What i dont understand is how you can recommend great music like Insomnium yet give us a “Top 21″ list full of boring trendy “metal” albums, with a few exclusions.
Heard about Insomnium about a month ago from MS and I really love their music. They remind me of Dark Tranquillity and DT is one of my favorites.
This news is boner-inducing.
But we all know, based on the fact that both 1349 and Anaal Nathrakh were both pushed back two weeks from their original advertised release dates, that this won’t drop until September 21st.
Best release of 2009? Fuckin’ hope so.
Shit. I can’t wait for this. One of the few bands who are still doing melodic-death the right way.
I havent ever heard of this band, but I really like how those sampes sound
Above The Weeping World is a favorite!
i cant stop listening to this samples
the songs just roll forward with such melodic intensity
criminally under rated band
can’t you guys do something? you guys were all over god forbid’s dick. you also love insomnium. Why not promote insomnium. The comments on this post are all overwhelmingly positive. What do you have to lose?
I can’t believe you guys are all raving about this lightweight crap.
Oh; I’m sure I’ll get negative feedback. They have mediocre chops, and the songs are MetalLite(TM). The last album also suffers from over-glossy Production making it even wimpier.
I picture fat lonely MetalGoth chicks pumping this shit.
Yeah!
Look Truth in the eyes and yell FUCK YOU!
Where The Last Wave Broke makes me sadface. not because its mournful, but because its the track where Insomnium died.
