My 100 Favorite Metal Bands Pt. 59: Insomnium

Fitting in with melodeath week, we come to Finnish band Insomnium. Insomnium plays a slower and much more morose brand of melodeath. Their music is somber and sad, dealing with painful loss and sorrow. Nevertheless, the band's music is simply incredible. It's honestly spine-tingling and powerful. Everyone should be aware of this band.

FAVORITE ALBUM: ABOVE THE WEEPING WORLD

    Their first album is a gem. I haven't had a chance to hear the others.

    Above the Weeping World blew me away the first time I heard it. Insomnium was one of the bands I really wanted to work into my Top 25 list somewhere but just didn't have the space.

    It had that effect on me too. Just jaw-dropping. One of the rare times I found something good from Headbanger's Ball.
