Check out our playlist for more brutal & crushing death metal tracks! centurymedia.lnk.to/DeathMetalAndBeyond Nothing but pure death metal! 🔥

Insomnium is one of the miracles of the universe

Insomnium makes music for the soul

It's hard being an older person looking back at a life..even a good one..that maybe you could have done more with. Go hard young people , it goes fast.

Their sad melodic music makes me extremely happy.

Words can never describe how thankful I am for you, Insomnium. Your music has been keeping my head above water for years....thank you.

"The Antagonist" Once upon a time When the years flew brightly by You held my hand through the night You held my heart Manifold is the misery now And the joys turned to woe Alone in this time-eaten tower I wait for the dawn I listen, as if in a dream The wail of the winds But no one calls my name anymore For no one dares No song will resound No wail will rise No cry will be heard When curtain falls Stars look down on me From their thrones in the dark heavens Do they see inside my soul? Blackness there, nothing more How did I become this man? When I fell from grace? The one they all spite and fear The one you shun No song will resound No wail will rise No cry will be heard When curtain falls No tears will be shed No weepers on the grave No stone to recall my name When I leave this world And when they look back to these times And write down this tale How will they remember my part? How will they retell? The tyrant and the iron crown Old man with no soul The shadow they dread and abhor Not the hero of the play No song resounds No wail will rise No tear will flow When curtain falls No tears will be shed for me No weepers to wail on my grave No headstone to recall my name When I leave this world

The band of my heart.

Each time Insomnium releases a new song, it usually doesn't immediatelly appeal to me. I rather listen to it a few times as days go by. It slowly chisels it's own way into my soul and memory. After that it never gets old and I can repeat it all the time, goosebumps and all. Brilliant as always, thank you Insomnium!

Man this song hits hard now. My grandmother now is slowly going into dementia. She along with my mother literally raised me. God, the concept of lost time expessed in this beautiful work of art literally brings me to tears everytime I listen to it.

I can't imagine the world without Insomnium. They give us so much; they feed our souls. It's amazing how much sentiment they share throughout each single song. Thanks for sharing with us such marvelous poetry \m/

Insomnium is more than a mere artist, they are musical security-sad music translated as bright light..I'm always reminded I have a soul, when listening to Insomnium. Nietzsche said it best, "without music, life would be a mistake".

Insomnium, the definition of perfection

Insomnium is back for Shadows of the Dying Sun sound. It is another masterpiece.

out of every bands that I've ever heard and listened to, Insomnium connects with my soul the most

Insomnium NEVER disappoints!!!!!!!!! another brilliant song from one of the very best melodeath bands out there

- Born too late to see the first man on the moon. - Born too early to discover the mysteries of the universe. - Born in the right time to see and enjoy Insomnium.

The best melodic death metal band ever. We expected you in Greece soon. 🤘🤘🤘🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

I can't believe there was a time when these guys were gonna hang it up and pack it in. Couldn't be happier they decided against and we keep getting absolutely incredible tunes from them. EP is already amazing.

Thank you so much guys. From Iran.

Melodic music + Wonderful lyrics + Goosebumps = Insomnium

This is beautiful. So relaxing!

Such a piece of art! Cannot wait for this EP!

So sad that Jani left the band... Great voice, great spirit.

The intro of the song is astonishing with an indescribable melody.

The most beautiful band ever along with Amorphis

This song is one of the strongest / deepest. There's a before and after listening it... Wow

A musical journey! Deep lyrics. A masterpiece.

Good song, so like this slow-strong changes in Voice and Guitars. Thumbs up from bavaria :)

There is no way to explain how those songs fit in my soul. Insomnium have my heart since the first song. You have a brazilian fan

These are the reasons that make me love Scandinavian and more particularly Finnish metal, soul music, strength, values, respect, inspiration, so magical and magnificent ! 💖Thank you so much Insomnium ! 🙏😉🤘🤘🤘🇨🇵 

Two very disappointing aspects here. 1, it's only going to be an EP. 2, we gotta wait til September.

Heard this at their Live Stream concert as preview - Finally able to listen to it. Amazing melody !

I'm so happy that Jani is getting more vocal spotlight

This is art. This guys never disappoint

Love the melody of those cleans. 🤘😎🤘

Sublime. Majestic. Glorious

Doctor: you have 5 minutes and 4 seconds left to live. Me:

I can't believe I only found this band last year. Thank the fucking gods for Spotify's "Discover Weekly".

Спасибо Вам большое ребята. Вы играете совершенную музыку . Привет Вам из Западной Сибири.

I needed this song. Going through a tough time. Thankyou Insomnium.

Alrighty. Growling at my boss on Monday.

Insomnium never disappoints. Good job Jani! 🖤💀🖤

My favorite band of All

I don't have words, good enough to describe my feelings and gratitude for such wonderfull song. Every common word would be meaningless.

Man.. jani has such a great voice

I have loved this band for over 12years now and they don't disappoint me💖💖

Never released 1 weak song. One of the best Bands around. And I listen to you guys since the first Album. Thank you for being that great 🤘

Such a masterpiece!

Do these guys ever make a bad song, I'm serious because it's ridiculous how everything they make is an instant 9 or 10. I can't even rank this song because it makes me feel a different type of blackened despair and haunting hopelessness... Literally goosebumps!

It’s been a privilege to have this band in our lives. Best memories laying on my bed stoned af listening to these beauts! Since 2001!

another gem of a song, what a beauty !! 😌😌

One of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. And nobody is better than Insomnium at experimenting with softer atmosphere and cleans without compromising their sound or the fact that they’re a metal band. Also the masters of heartache, they convey that feeling in their melodies better than anyone. Such a cool track and video.

Just imagine another song like this with Marco Hietala as a guest... It could break the internet!!!! Insomnium never disappoints! Wonderful job again guys! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

аж до мурашек на шее. очень круто.

What a good lineup, what a good voice, what a good song. This band never dissapoint me!

Beautiful as always. Continuously impressive music after all these years. My favorite band for a reason!

Danke für diesen fantastischen neuen Song, ihr seit das Licht in dunklen Zeiten.

That harmonizing though

Insomnium never disappoints

This goes hard late at night in the car driving anywhere any everywhere

Ох, братья. Как всегда шедеврально.

Masterpiece...theme is truly epic. Thank you Insomnium🤘 🔥🔥🤘

Insomnium, the very reason I live and breath.

Such a powerful and awesome song!

Simple but powerful words can describe this song and video; wonderful, perfection, powerful and emotional. Insomnium has been my absolute favorite band since I experienced them live in Oslo in 2013. I was also so lucky to talk to the whole band after their show. Incredibly talented and down to earth guys. You really deserve all the success. Insomnium has followed me for many years and helped me through both good and bad times in life.

Melodic D̶e̶a̶t̶h̶ ̶M̶e̶t̶a̶l̶

Couldn't be more excited to hear such amazing music. I began the 2019 Chicago Marathon to Shadows of the Dying Sun. I'll never forget blocking out fellow runners and the sounds of the Windy City with such an amazing tune and an amazing album. These guys have harnessed moods and turned them into unforgettable melodies. Long live Insomnium. This tune is another great song from an amazing band. Many listens to come. Thank you, gentlemen.

My most favorite band in Melo death for a decade ❤👍

Crikey, this one is a beaut!

I will die listening to your songs.

Just beautiful

Pure perfection what else can i say right now i have no words to describe how i feel every time when my favorite band relese a new song Thank you a lot Insomnium for your beautiful music...

*Another certified banger!*

jani!!! Oh how I missed you. 😢

Without villains their are no heroes

More insomnium to make our lives more bearable!! Hell yeah!

Amazing Song ! Amazing Video ! Amazing Band ! Horns up ! Cheers Guys !

Insomnium is gift to humanity

Descobri essa banda muito tarde, mas virei fã, o metal finlandês sempre teve essas jóias escondidas!!

Insomnium son geniales,saludos desde La Patagonia Argentina.

Супер группа как вино с годами только лучше

I wept like a baby hearing this for the first time. This guy is me.

This band gives me goosebumps every time I hear them

I love this band, quality metal with a lot of style!

This song make me cry

I've listened to this song like dozen or so times and thought it was just a good song, but with this listen today it really struck me! Especially with the video but all in all Insomnium has really captured the essence in this song. It's difficult to describe you just have to listen to it and hopefully the track opens up for you as it did for me.

Music for the Soul…. But i would love to see Ville Friman & Jani Liimatainen do clean vocals together and also Ville to appear in the music videos… i know it was not possible due to covid and Ville I believe is in UK… but what an awesome song… cant wait for the EP… i hope the Wanderer will be lengthy long (9+ mins) 😍

I really like the clean vocals

Jani is one of the best thing ever happened to this band!

Excellent harmonies 👌

Best band on the planet. Good day.

Amazing track. Both Insomnium and Swallow the Sun are without a doubt the top acts in the genre.

Love it!!!

Every song from this band has never ever been a let down , there musical journey has been a gift to me and many others. They always hit the spot , seeing them live is an experience to be savoured and remembered , you've touched so many people with your music and may this continue for many more years to come . Hoping to get to Austria for another memorable evening . excellent guys , amazing

This will get me through the darkness of winter..

This band NEVER disappoints!

So heartbreaking... Dark and beautiful, as always. Love it. Thanks once again, Insomnium!

I've seen this clip 10 times, and you guys have achieved incredible sound to listen to! insomnium you guys are amazing! 🇧🇷
