I just found this band called Absence, they're from Finland and i thought they sound somewhat similar to Insomnium. Also their artwork of their demo look similar too. If anyone haven't heard of them, try the samples on their site, or follow this link.

Complete song for upcoming record:

I think it sounds musically much more like Kalmah. But it still sounds good.

Yea no Kidding.. The bands from finland do kick ass.. I like Children of Bodom, Kalmah and Insomnium and some of that absence band... I would like more recommendations to bands like CoB and Kalmah

Nah, Noumena's much better than this.. :P They are very similar, except on some songs they use female vocals.
This is not bad though, nice to listen every now and then.

The full sounded quite similal to Noumena's The End of Century.

I find Noumena quite boring :depressed
