Insomnium Above The Weeping World on Red 180g 2LP
Insomnium began to take shape during the austere spring of 1997 in the somnolent town of Joensuu, located in the easternmost part of Finland. From the beginning it was clear that this band would make music that was brutal and yet melodic, full of contrasts and changing atmospheres. They took the best traits of their favorite bands and molded these influences into a new kind of entity. The result was the marriage of melodic Scandinavian death metal and traditional Finnish tunes. Lyrics came to be sorrowful, dream-like tales of love and death, often set amidst the Finnish nature. Insomnium’s third album Above the Weeping World was forged in the famous Fantom Studio during the spring of 2006 and their overall sound here is much heavier and richer than ever before. Compositions and arrangements reached a new pinnacle as well, and these nine songs of fury and woe represent a band that truly knows its own strengths. This is a tighter, meaner and more menacing album; abundant and enduring, challenging and yet catchy. An album filled with doom-laden stories, influenced by such poets as Hölderlin, Bourdillon, Poe and Leino. And together these tunes and words form captivating atmospheres, unseen vistas of prodigious beauty and searing despair. Gatefold 180g red vinyl reissue from Back On Black Records.
