Ever since emerging from the mist-shrouded Karelian town of Joensuu, INSOMNIUM has been bringing light to those who live in the shadows. For the tenth time, they are raising the curtains to a new album full of Finnish melancholy, haunting melodies and ferocious melodic death — the new album will see the light of autumn in October 2026. Produced by Miiro Varjus & Insomnium, and once again mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren, the new full-length release captures the Finns at their most dynamic and cinematic yet and marks the first album since the joining of guitarist Tomy Laisto. Never content to rely solely on old formulas or walk only the beaten paths, INSOMNIUM continues to search for new shades, textures, and emotional depths within its music without losing its core.
