INSOMNIUM

INSOMNIUM began to take shape during the austere spring of 1997. In a somnolent town of Joensuu, located in the easternmost part of Finland, four young men were forming a fierce metal band. From the beginning it was clear that this band would make music that was brutal and yet melodic, full of contrasts and changing atmospheres. INSOMNIUM takes the best traits of their favourite bands and mould these influences into a new kind of entity. The result is the marriage of melodic Scandinavian death metal and traditional Finnish tunes.
