This seems insane to say, but it has already been two years since the release of Insomnium’s latest disc One For Sorrow. It’s just super-classy when it comes to everything from melodies to hooks and transitions.( DGR reviews the forthcoming four-song EP by Finland’s Insomnium.) Heart Like a GraveĬlassic Insomnium-style song that builds up from acoustics into an epic melodic death metal crescendo with progressive and doomy influences. “While We Sleep” is one of the catchiest Insomnium songs, delivering line after line and melody after melody that immediately sticks in my head. Much like most Insomnium material, this one gives birth to a lot of (good and bad) existential thoughts. The lyrics in this one are often portrayed as cheesy, but I have to admit I like them. For the love and ardor will never dure.” This song delivers one of Insomnium’s best hooks and delivers a great combination of feeling and catchy hooks. “For the mirth and glory will never last. I absolutely love the powerful clean vocal part in this one. This song feels a tad underrated compared to others on the “Shadows.” album. Insomnium are quite good at sending me into an existential spiral, and “The Promethean Song” is one of the best examples.

I love when the song goes full doom metal mode in the end, sounding almost like Slumber and Enshine. Not one of my initial favorites, but it’s grown considerably over time. Pale Morning StarĮpic song from the “Heart Like a Grave” album. It feels like they were warming up for what was to come on “Shadows of the Dying Sun” on this one. Where the Last Wave BrokeĪnother classic, catchy Insomnium banger with a memorable clean vocal chorus. The “Shadows of the Dying Sun” album is filled with great songs like this, which would’ve been the best song on most of their albums. Lose to NightĬlassic Insomnium hit with doomy vibes, growl verses and a big clean vocal chorus. Anyway, onwards to the list of my 10 best Insomnium songs!Īnyway, let’s get on to to what you came here for: my list of the 10 best Insomnium songs. Not sure what happened there, but maybe the album will grow over time for me. The three albums I do enjoy however, I love! “Shadows of the Dying Sun” is my clear favorite.įor me, the weirdest part about the Insomnium discography is how the band released “Winter’s Gate” (that I don’t really enjoy at all) in between my favorites “Shadows.” and “Heart.”. This might piss of some fans, but I really don’t think the bands highly rated early material is all that special. I realized that all my favorite songs are from three out of the eight Insomnium full-lengths.

Personal: Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Insomnium discography It’s way better than Patreon or donations, because you’ll get some dark Scandinavian music for it. The best way to support my content and my music is to buy digital Soliloquium downloads on Bandcamp. If you like Insomnium, I’m pretty sure Soliloquium is for you as well, since we’re sometimes compared to them.

Plays in the bands Desolator (old school death metal), Soliloquium (progressive death/doom metal) and many more. Musician, content creator and digital freelancer from Stockholm, Sweden. They’re definitely among the melodic death metal greats and a prime example of Scandinavian melancholy. Today, I listen to parts of the band’s discography quite often. For me, the band was never a huge favorite (except the song “Down with the Sun”), but they’ve grown over the years. Insomnium is an immensely popular Finnish melodic death metal band with influences from other genres, such as doom metal and progressive metal.
