[AUM_-posc]

Welcome in the Insomnium family, Jani Liimatainen!

[paulw]

You see, this is why I love Insomnium fans:

Down in the comment section, everyone greets Jani and are happy and excited for the new album, sharing their thoughts on the new song and friendly debating which songs they like most but respectfully accepting each other's opinion.

I love Insomnium and I love you guys! Everyone keep it up and have an awesome time with the new album!

[Dharshanth.k]

As a metalhead, i can say this, Insomnium is by far one of the best Melodic Death Metal Band out there. I wish more bands are like them. Peace and love from Malaysia!

[ItzSandman]

Insomnium has the ability to reach deep into your soul and touch what you never realized was there or may have long forgotten. This band makes more than music, they heal people.

[glasswool]

Finnish MDM is the best! With respect from Russia.

[MonteCarloSSFan]

Niilo’s growls are freaking perfection

[watching]

Insomnium: The only band that still looks epic as hell in the woods with their instruments unplugged.

[EarthNeedsHeroes]

That old man looks upset that this heavy metal band keeps playing so loudly in his yard.

This band just never disappoints... one of the best bands out there.

[trenchgamingpinkster]

the clean and growl vocals work so well together

[Gibbs]

"Tonight, the world is burning
Tonight, black smoke hides the sky
Tonight, dark clouds rising high
Shadows engulf the land"


With the recent destruction in the Amazon forests, and having been in the fires in Greece recently, I think hearing this will send shivers down a lot of people's spines as it sends down mine.

[moongirlluna]

Underneath the blackest soil
I lay down my warm, beating heart
And deep beneath the frozen ground
I bury down my deepest thoughts

Because the road I've chosen
Is free of fortune and desire
Or the mundane toil and worry
Because the trail I've taken
Leads down into the darkest shores
Where the stars have passed away

Tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rise up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land

By the side of forsaken path
I leave behind my old shadow
Into the deep under these shores
I drown my broken memories

Because the road I've chosen
Is free of fortune and desire
Or the mundane toil and worry
Because the trail I've taken
Leads down into the darkest shores
Where the stars have passed away

Tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rise up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land

For something to change
Something has to give
For something to grow
Something has to yield
(I kiss the light goodbye)

'Cause tonight, the world is burning
Black smoke hides the skies
Tonight, dark clouds rise up
Swirling, shadows engulf the land
Shadows engulf the land

[raadmusic]

Insomnium is a creation sent right from the heaven of earth! A creation no man can ever reach the level of perfection, The gods of Melancholy and the fathers of Winter. Its not just music. They are the crown jewels of my heart. Their music is plain gorgeous. Helped me to cope up with my inner demons and depressions. Thank you for everything you have created Niilo, Friman, Vanni, Markus H, Markus V and welcome to the family Jani!

Long live Insomnium !
Godfathers of Melodic Death Metal

[Andreaslfc]

I'm not ashamed to say, this song brought me to tears
Such a beautiful song.

[S_Z]

Some of their riffs are just pure eargasm.

Insomnium are one of those bands that even if you don't find most of their songs memorable The songs that do grab your attention They really, really, really grab your attention and that doesn't happen to me with a lot of bands.

[Marwollo]

Just 1 minute of listening.. was enough to recognize another masterpiece by Insomnium! Well done!

[ElCyberiusOrchestra]

New album is almost perfection. Thematically, musically and lyrically. Can't remember the last time I listened to an album so cohesive and made with the consistent level of quality. Truly brilliant! Heart like a grave is the album of the year for me and an instant classic I'll be constantly going back to. Thank you for this masterpiece. I've been a fan for ten years now and you gave me an amazing gift for the ocassion. Here's to ten more years of greatness!

[madvillian]

This song is perfect for my workouts, greetings from California, keep shredding!! 💪

[benmetalhead]

This is one of my top 10 metal bands of all time. What an album! The melancholy takes you to a whole other world, and oddly enough, it's music like this that makes me happy, not the poppy shit that mainstream fans listen to. Admittedly, I listen to metal with pop sensibilities, but bands like Insomnium are where my heart is.

[MikeY-st]

If someone said to me that this song was the best song made within 5 to 10 years, id have to headbang in agreement.
