Insomnium...(snif) :'(

[Insomnia]

Anything from Insomnium, pleaseeee! From a sticker to a Hood!
But the best of all will be seeing them play live outside Finland! Nothing against Finland, I love that country, home of Nightwish among maaaany other bands!!! It's just a shame that a band like them, on their best career moment are not touring around the world! But hey, maybe its not their fault and it is at Candlelight Records! grrr... Anyway, hope to see more activity @ Insomnium's website soon! Kiitos V.F. and Hail to Insomnium!

I wonder what the guys are up to. We haven't heard from them here in a good while, either.

And I want some merch for sale. :D

[Migella]

New t-shirts would be great! My old one is fading to gray and you guys know that it must be black!

[Niilo of Insomnium]

I apologize for not being around here very much recently. Sometimes you need to take a break from all the band stuff and these couple of months I've had lot of other things to work with. As the other guys too.

For all you guys who wish to see us live - contact Candlelight, send them angry emails, fill their letterbox with threats! We would of course play all over the world but unfortunately our label has done very little to make this happen. Sad but true.

And about the merchandise - Candlelight PROMISED to make shirts half a year ago but nothing has happened. Therefore we will make some new shirts ourselves. This will happen in a near future so check out the homepage.

Dictum, factum! I sent them already an email and if I don't get any response I'm going to spam their letterboxes. :D

Well I mailed Candlelight about this very issue. Here is what I said.

To whom it may concern,

I recently purchased both releases by the Finnish metal
band Insomnium who I believe are signed to your label.

While I enjoy their music immensely, I am dismayed to
hear that they receive little or no support from your label.
Not one UK live date with a single recognized band that
may help to spread the name Insomnium to a wider
audience.

While I understand you do have several major bands signed
to your label and they are a priority for you, I believe a lot of
interest, business and ultimately revenue is being lost on the
current under-development of excellent lesser known bands
such as Insomnium.

Just my thoughts on the issue as I see them. Thank you for
your time.

Sincerely

Mr. Dave Gibson.


Here is the answer I received.

Hi Dave

One of the biggest reasons is that the band are students and are not able to tour.

We are just as frustrated as you are

So that's what Candlelight have to say about the issue.
