Music, essentially, is a weapon to destroy the walls we built around us – and Finnish metal melancholists INSOMNIUM are amongst its strongest wielders. Music, essentially, is a weapon to destroy the walls we built around us – and Finnish metal melancholists INSOMNIUM are amongst its strongest wielders. Their ninth masterpiece, “Anno 1696”, released in early 2023 led us deep into the dark and troublesome past of Northern Europe, a time of witches, of superstition, of bloodlust and frenzy. And of werewolves.

In November, INSOMNIUM continue the epic story of “Anno 1696” on their addendum-like EP “Songs of the Dusk”, featuring 22 minutes of music and three more journeys into a dark and foggy past.

Mixed by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Orgone Studios) and mastered by Tony Lindgren (Fascination Street Studios), “Anno 1696” and the matching “Songs of the Dusk” are by far their most accomplished, emotionally rattling, soaring achievements. Tracks: CD
