Insomnium - Shadows of the dying sun(Deep blood red) 2LP

Music, essentially, is a weapon to destroy the walls we built around us – and Finnish metal melancholists INSOMNIUM are amongst its strongest wielders. Their latest studio album, “Anno 1696” (released in early 2023) conquered the international album charts, including #1 in Finland and #5 in Germany. It was followed up by the addendum-like EP “Songs of the Dusk”, that took the listener on an additional journey into a dark and foggy past. Hailing from the land of thousand lakes, boasting with a thousand melodies and spawning a thousand emotions came “Shadows of the Dying Sun” in 2014, INSOMNIUM’s sixth studio album. An album born of the melancholy, sorrow and dreariness of long winter nights, as relentless and overwhelming as an autumn storm and yet as refreshing as the first sunbeams of a spring morning and as peaceful as a mild summer's eve. Century Media Records is making this classic, that is featuring fan favourites like “While We Sleep”, “Ephemeral” and “The Primeval Dark”, available again on limited coloured vinyl and with liner notes by guitarist Ville Friman for their upcoming “Beyond the Shadows of the Dying Sun”-10th Anniversary European Tour with their fellow (label) mates OMNIUM GATHERUM.
