Insomnium One For Sorrow

2011, Over the last decade Insomnium has slowly but surely made itself a household name among the melodic death metal scene. Formed in 1997 in the somnolent town of Joensuu, in eastern Finland, these stern men have ever since redefined the boundaries of the genre. The band's fourth album ACROSS THE DARK (2009) was the breakthrough. The band's latest offering, ONE FOR SORROW shows a band that knows its strengths but isn't afraid to evolve. Crux of the music is still melodic death metal but nuances are giving it a unique flavor. Keyboards are overwhelmingly epic and there are some stunning clean vocals by Jules Näveri.
