Bwah, could be true........ yet your most popular band choose a Dutch woman as lead singer, and she made everyone forget about the original singer. To rule is to know how to acknowledge other rulers. If it ain`t Dutch it ain`t much. Haha
Well, we have our own ways to make metal music. And I think it's based on Amorphis (-90) era. I don't know if swedish or finnish did it first, but melodic death metal took place in there, we had our own band in Finland (Amorphis), and melodic death metal from Sweden was like Entombed, Dissection, In Flames
For me, Insomnium is one of the best bands from Finland ever. Every track, and every album is a masterpiece and the lyrics are very poetic. There's no wrong with that band.
As much as i'd love to believe this as they are our local boys but no, they aren't flawless, they have quite a bit of crappy songs and their live performances more often than not are pretty bad.
Without a doubt Scandanavian metal absolutely rules, all the bands have the best female singers and the best death growls in the business. You have heard a few of them keep going they all kick ass🎸🎵🎤🔥🔥🔥
Gotta agree, Sweden comes second with bands like Amon Amarth (fucking love them) but i like Insomnium more they have better guitar sound imo. And insomnium has good songs in a greater quantity than Amon Amarth.
If enjoyed this, try "belzebubs - cathedrals of mourning". Its a weird one. Its based in finnish comic series (my all time fav). It also has few insomnium members in it, maybe. No one really knows. And also in that official vid there is familiar looking keyboardist from nightwish. Vid is animated and the real players behind animated ones have never been revealed. Vid is totally hilarious and for a surprise, music is maybe the best melodic death metal there is.
Will always love Insomnium. As a suggestion check out Belzebubs -Cathedrals of Mourning. Some would argue that this mysterious band is actually Insomnium. Vocalist for both sounds identical. Meaning Nille who does the hard vocals/growls on this song.
I've got every insomnium album there is across the dark and Shadow of the dying Sun are some of the best albums they have and obviously their new album Heart Like A Grave is incredible they're first album Halls of the awaiting is a masterpiece also probably my favorite album is one for sorrow it's incredible
@@amarok9097 god I’m jealous, from what I’ve seen and heard they sound stellar live. I’m hoping someday they make it to the US specifically Arizona, they’re right at the top of my lists of bands I’m dying to see, them and Sylosis are the 2 bands that I’d kill to see.
Hello guys! Great stuff!! Do you know how many Finnish bands you have had/have in your channel?! And how many still to come. I bet you have not noticed that and so it should be. Only quality means. And you play what people want to hear! Again thanks for great reactions!
Insomnium is such a great band! Not only the music and vocals are awesome but their lyrics are soooooo deep and meaningful! You should take a look at the lyrics. Well, the guys are pretty smart too, Niilo (bass, growl vocal) has a major in history of culture and literature; Vile (guitar, clean vocal) has a Phd in evolutionary ecology, too bad he's now more into research than music...
there are tons of awesome finnish melodeath bands starting with Thy Serpent (called black metal but), Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Children of Bodom, Amorphis, Ensiferum, Omnium Gatherum ...
Pale morning star had incredible guitar harmonies as well... Down with the sun as well... Now that I think about it, pretty much all Insomnium songs have great guitar harmonies...LOL You might like Omnium Gatherum as well... same guitarist
If you liked this song, there's a way to like it even more: this is track 2 of the album, listen to track 1 (The Primeval Dark) straight into this one - Insomium are the absolute kings of album openers.
my favorite band of all time. as others have said, they really don't have a bad song ever, in over 20 years. I'd definitely recommend checking out something earlier from them, like "The Day It All Came Down" or "Drawn to Black"
Love Insomnium They have become my favorite band after Opeth stopped doing death vocals. I still like Opeth, still see them live when they come by and love all their albums. But Insomnium (followed by Ne Obliviscaris) is my current favorite. I have seen them live 3 times. Every time they have been to Michigan and they are totally amazing live.
Comment section I am dissapoint. What they haven't told you is 1 of the guitarists Jani is former Sonata Arctica and still calls them his brothers. Tsk tsk comment section.
I strongly suggest you try out Bloodred Hourglass "The Unfinished Story". This band also has other great songs like "Valkyrie", "Where the sinners crawl", "Waves of black" .
Insomnium holds a very dear place in my soul. My son had been trying to turn me on to them for a year. I say i kove the music, could only understand one line of the growls. Had a very bad family situation, discovered the obvious lyrics( duh?) We have seen them finally, met them and i am the one who acted like a 2 year old. Do yourself a favor...play The Primeval Dark & While We Sleep in succession. Thats the way it is supposed to be. INCREDIBLE!!!!
I don't know whether it's the mix, or your recording volume, but his scrams are a little indistinguishable. They appear - to my ears - to be a little far back behind the guitars.
honestly .. i think this song is way overreacted to .. Insomnium doesn't have a bad song but they have much better songs IMO.. Revelation would be my suggestion
Insomnium and be’lakor are the absolute cream of the melodeath crop, everything both those bands release is at worst good and usually great to incredible
Insomnium doesn't have a bad song.
Finland rules the metal world, IMO.
Bwah, could be true........ yet your most popular band choose a Dutch woman as lead singer, and she made everyone forget about the original singer. To rule is to know how to acknowledge other rulers.
If it ain`t Dutch it ain`t much. Haha
@@patrickvangelder6943 If it ain't metallish it ain't Finnish :P

For melodic death metal, dark tranquillity for life

Have you ever heard of Swallow the sun?
@@romanstupar9617 Yes. They are amazing.

The lead guitarist Markus Vanhala is a genius. He is also playing in the band Omnium Gatherum if you want to check out more awesome guitar work

Heart like a grave by Insomnium. Absolute masterpiece of a song and the whole album is just beatifull

Saw these guys with Epica and they were outstanding. Do Pale Morning Star or Heart Like A Grave next!
Same Here in NYC. Last show of the tour. Imsonium, Lacuna Coil and Epica🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Totally! Pale Morning Star is one of the best songs ever!
Insomnium - Winter’s Gate
Amorphis - Death of a King
Without a doubt Scandanavian metal absolutely rules, all the bands have the best female singers and the best death growls in the business. You have heard a few of them keep going they all kick ass🎸🎵🎤🔥🔥🔥
Best metal comes from 🇫🇮
Gotta agree, Sweden comes second with bands like Amon Amarth (fucking love them) but i like Insomnium more they have better guitar sound imo. And insomnium has good songs in a greater quantity than Amon Amarth.
Total
Sweden 🇸🇪 🇸🇪 first. 👌
The awesomeness of this song still gives me chills down my spine!! 🖤🖤🖤

Next Heart like a grave by Insomnium. Actually the whole album, also instrumental Karelia
one of the best metal bands ever

Insomnium is like my ASMR. Lol😅🤘I agree, the blend of the guitar and whispers/growls are just so ethereal. Thanks for your reaction. 🖤
Finnish melodeath ❤️

Kalmah, wolfheart 🤘

Omg 😳first time listen this band.... Amazing....
Thank you wolfies 😁
You guys should check out Wolfheart - The Hunt
And The Flood
Seconded! The Hunt is a fucking masterpiece.
Hell yeah!
Last of all winters!
Insomnium - Pale Morning Star. This song is absolutely amazing!

If you enjoyed this one you need to take a look at Be'lakor. The smoke of many fires official lyric video
Be’lakor are the kings of current melodeath imo, insomnium is #2 for me. Both bands never miss
@@puppetmaster8551 I finally managed to catch them live last weekend.
@@amarok9097 god I’m jealous, from what I’ve seen and heard they sound stellar live. I’m hoping someday they make it to the US specifically Arizona, they’re right at the top of my lists of bands I’m dying to see, them and Sylosis are the 2 bands that I’d kill to see.
@@puppetmaster8551 I must check out Sylosis. Thanks for the recommendation.😁
I really love this song.

You guys definitely need to check out Insomnium's new video Stained in Red. Pretty much the most awesome video ever made and a badass song too.
there are tons of awesome finnish melodeath bands starting with Thy Serpent (called black metal but), Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Children of Bodom, Amorphis, Ensiferum, Omnium Gatherum ...
Swallow the Sun! 🤘
Seen this band twice love them 🤘😈🤘
Insomnium can do no wrong. Every album is fantastic.
I love how the solo didn't end on the root at the end. Nasty suspense.
My two favorit reactors, you guy's are awsome 🤘🍻
i know...it was very capturing when it was new....still listen to it
Pale morning star had incredible guitar harmonies as well... Down with the sun as well... Now that I think about it, pretty much all Insomnium songs have great guitar harmonies...LOL You might like Omnium Gatherum as well... same guitarist
Awesome reaction! Loved the emotion during the song from you two, keep it up.
If you liked this song, there's a way to like it even more: this is track 2 of the album, listen to track 1 (The Primeval Dark) straight into this one - Insomium are the absolute kings of album openers.
it's nice to see how laughter changes to a conscious facial expression when good music appears
Love this whole album :)
I love your site. I see bands I've never heard of.
the drummer is like a train engine. cosistent machine :D a freaking great song! love Insomnium! \m/
my favorite band of all time. as others have said, they really don't have a bad song ever, in over 20 years. I'd definitely recommend checking out something earlier from them, like "The Day It All Came Down" or "Drawn to Black"
one of my top 3 favorite bands =)
Love Insomnium
They have become my favorite band after Opeth stopped doing death vocals. I still like Opeth, still see them live when they come by and love all their albums. But Insomnium (followed by Ne Obliviscaris) is my current favorite. I have seen them live 3 times. Every time they have been to Michigan and they are totally amazing live.
Pale morning star!
love this album of Insomnium.
Insomnium is amazing!
BEFORE THE DAWN - The Final Storm (
Another masterpiece!
If you like Insomnium you should check Ghost Brigade. They are also from Finnland. But personally I think they had the better song writing
Comment section I am dissapoint. What they haven't told you is 1 of the guitarists Jani is former Sonata Arctica and still calls them his brothers. Tsk tsk comment section.
Maybe because Jani wasn't part of the band at this point and so not on this video?
Awesome that you are reacting to melodic death metal! Please react to some Dark Tranquillity. Lost to Apathy - Dark Tranquillity.
Cheers,
William
Mortal Share or other older Insomnium would be great to react to:)
I strongly suggest you try out Bloodred Hourglass "The Unfinished Story". This band also has other great songs like "Valkyrie", "Where the sinners crawl", "Waves of black" .
Hhooo insomnium .. hallo fron argentina new sub 🎸🎸🎸
FEAR OF DOMINATION : OBSESSION
Please please react to the song Pale morning star from Insomnium one of the best songs
Would like y’all to react to heart like a grave by them
i subed because yall love this music like i do. you feel it. just like me.
Wait til you read the lyrics :D
Yeah, they definitely should ...
Valediction->heart like a grave
Also.
Insomnium- the elder
Wolfheart: The Flood, Brymir: For THose Who Died, Omnium Gatherum: Frontier...
Wolfheart is great too, but chech The ”one man’s army” Tuomas Saukkonens earlier band Before the Dawn- Deadsong
you guys should check out their side project The Belzebubs, it's a lot more aggressive but fuuuuck it's good
There is just something about in finnish metal.
Check out Insomnium - The Lay of Autumn. EPIC!!
Insomnium holds a very dear place in my soul. My son had been trying to turn me on to them for a year. I say i kove the music, could only understand one line of the growls. Had a very bad family situation, discovered the obvious lyrics( duh?) We have seen them finally, met them and i am the one who acted like a 2 year old. Do yourself a favor...play The Primeval Dark & While We Sleep in succession. Thats the way it is supposed to be. INCREDIBLE!!!!
This is what they call melodic death metal. I just call it metal. Good music. As for the song, it's quite depressing. Sadness to the core.
2 songs that i would love to see your reaction for... WAGE WAR - THE RIVER & AUGUST BURNS RED - DEFENDER
Do Winter's Gate, at least part 6. You need to hear the whole album though.
Check out valediction next by the same band, insomnium
Video starts at 1:48
Krampus - Paralysis
i dont know why noone make this song a insomnium shadows of the dying sun
Please check out Agalloch - Not unlike the waves
Hola react to EQUILIBRIUM, saludos 🤘🇨🇱
Sepultura -isolation
Meldodeath at its finest
Instrumentation
Wow, that guy is such a poser. The fake emotions were painful, he couldn't wait to end the video.
I don't know whether it's the mix, or your recording volume, but his scrams are a little indistinguishable. They appear - to my ears - to be a little far back behind the guitars.
React to heaven shall burn land of the up right ones
React to
CCR - Suzie Q
activate windws
This song is decent but again I don’t think you’re looking at their best material. Check out Where the Last Wave Broke.
Your Patreons are brainwashing u with Finnish metal, LOLLL
Torille!
honestly .. i think this song is way overreacted to .. Insomnium doesn't have a bad song but they have much better songs IMO.. Revelation would be my suggestion
