> INSOMNIUM
> New album release date brought forward to 5th April 2004.
>
> "Dark as hell and metal to the core, Insomnium have grown into
> something truly remarkable." - KKKK-
> Dom Lawson - Kerrang
>
> "In the Halls of Awaiting" was released in April 2002 and it introduced a
> band that had evolved in many ways. There were
> more depth in the songs, and the music was more versatile and challenging
> than before. Progressive shades had crept into the songs, and in many
> ways the band had stepped aside from the mainstream of melodic death
> metal. Debut album received excellent reviews in many magazines around the
> globe, especially in Germany, Finland and North America.
>
> The recording of the second album began in summer 2003. The process was
> somewhat painful but finally in December the new album was ready. "Since
> the Day It All Came Down" continues the development that the first album
> began. Songs are more versatile and surprising, progressive influences are
> ever clearer. Some tracks may even be described as experimental. But the
> straightforward side of the music hasn't gone anywhere, since catchy
> guitar-harmonies, crushing riffs and soothing acoustic interludes are all
> still there. Melodies are still the most essential element in the music of
> Insomnium, but this time the tunes are even more melancholic and wistful
> than on the debut. This is a sad and dreary album, heavier and gloomier
> than the first one, and undoubtedly more challenging. So when you take
> this path, keep in mind that it takes a while before your eyes get used to
> the dark...
So itīs 5th of April now! Watch out!
