New Album Soon!

[pittsyco38]

Insomnium will be coming out with their new album on 3.4.2004. What are your expectations? Anything in particular that you're hoping for?

Me personally, I'm expecting a nice development from their debut. In short, some really kickass music :)

Note: This was also my 666th post.:devil

[thunderstruck67]

Congrats on the number of the beast Dan!

I expect another awesome album from the band!

[Mr. Lapin Kulta]

The last album indeed rocked! I too am looking forward to a strong follow-up...

Cool to see Insomnium at these boards! A good addition no doubt. Just hope the fans will find their way here...

[Niilo of Insomnium]

Nice to see that some people have already found their way to this God forsaken place. Guess I have to learn to use this forum too...:)

And a small correction: as far as we know, the new album, "Since the Day It All Came Down", is released in beginning of May. 3rd of May if I remember right...

[Crimson Twin]

Yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on the new album. At least the new songs have rocked in live situation!

[CLAYMAN]

Is the new CD going to be available in North America on that day also? Or is that the European release?

[reiter.ger]

well, if i only think of the new album my veins vibrate ;D

someone told me @ irc that the new album is more slowly, but harder too, is that right?
and what do we have to expect?

[Addicted To Death]

Well i still have to get an album so gimme a bit and i'm sure i'd want them all!

Oh, I hope this is just a rumour cuz I don't like too slow music very much..... I want it faster, louder, harder..... ;)

[reiter.ger]

he said that the album is more slowly, but harder to
he has some relation to the members of insomnium

//@pakkannen From: Germany
du kannst also deutsch?

[Crimson Twin]

I've heard three new songs live. Two of them were slower, and in fact the other one (of those two) was quite proge influenced. They were still good though, really great.

The third song was faster and incredible good. It was called "Alistus" in the setlist, so I don't know the real name. Amazing!

[Pakkanen]

Now I'm curious about the new album and a bit sceptical, but I think they haven't changed their style too much and there will lots of great songs on it... :)

[Niilo of Insomnium]

We don´t yet know about the American release date of the new album. Info will appear on the Candlelight website and on our own site too.

[Niilo of Insomnium]

I can reveal that the tempos on the new album vary quite a lot. Some songs are about 200 bpm and some about 100 bpm. Something for the trashers and something for the doomsters:)

[kalle]

Damn, that is kinda far away still. But at least we now have good place to speculate about everything before!

First album was already so nice that I doubt these guys could do something I wouldnt like at all even though slower tempos overall might not be my thing. Curious about the samples..

[Godless_Truth]

my God..... it is so difficultly to wait :(

[reiter.ger]

maybe the members of insomnium can upload 1 song of the new album ?

[kalle]

or mayby they could upload the whole album online here so we wouldnt need to wait. or mayby hell freezes and i start to listen eurodisco or mayby JUST not :D

[Niilo of Insomnium]

[B]maybe the members of insomnium can upload 1 song of the new album ?

Samples of the new songs will appear on the new website. As soon as the new pages are ready.

HELL YEA!!!!!

[IamLegend]

I'm looking forward to the new album, I loved In the halls.....

Good luck, and hopefully I can speak to you guys sometime soon in a more formal tone...

[Elfgirlie]

What am I waiting from the new album? Hmm. Hard to say, as long as there is brutality, no clean vocals or too much synths. I hate it when bands make a few great albums and then they just get soft. Although i like for example both old and new Amorphis-material, I still hope that doesn't happen to Insomnium just yet. :)

[Pakkanen]

Yes, I like Amorphis too, but I think the side-projects (Ajattara, Chaosbreed) of their members are much better at the moment and I listen very seldom to the new Amorphis stuff....

So I'll definetly buy the new Insomnium-album as long as they don't change their style to this trendy electro-metal just like Thyrane did! :)

[Kirurgisti]

Hmm...I expect excellent melodies as always and deep growling not forgetting those amazing acoustics. I didn't like the sound off double basses on the last album, so hopefully they change the drum sounds into something less annoying. Yeh, and I want more guitar solos! :D

[reiter.ger]

i don't think so kirurgisti, the double basses makes the sound more emotional i think :>

[lucifer1126]

OMG!!!! i just got the promo of the new album since the day it all came down. All i can say INSOMNIUM YOU GUYS HAVE IMPROVED A LOT! fucking awesome new album omgggggg!!!!

Geez, what a great start with 2004, new norther, new in flames, new insomnium all fucking great albums.

[Sorrowbearear]

Those double bassdrum-sounds were just fine. Drums were bit too low in the first album. I think the reason for this are those massive dist. guitars on the surface of the whole. I hope the drums on the this second album are more powerful and raging like thunder!!

And in my opinion Insomnium doesn´t need any guitar solos.(or just one solo played with passion and strong emotions). Solos like the one in the end of the In the halls of awaiting are nice though..

[Emperial Wrath]

The lack of solos doesn't bother me at all, the lead guitar work fucking rules through the whole album.

[thunderstruck67]

Got the promo...fucking awesome!

[Crimson]

It would be nice to know the credits of the album. Who has composed the songs, wrote the lyrics, guests and stuff...

[reiter.ger]

you will read in in your cd case book :)
