About
Insomnium is a melodic death metal band from Finland, influenced by doom metal, playing songs about sorrow, death, and loss. They also incorporate symphonic elements into their sound.
Biography
Insomnium’s sound has grown into even slower and more progressive death metal during the years, with occasional doom metal influences (some of their influences reflect an approach to metal similar to Amorphis’s Tales from the Thousand Lakes album). The original hallmarks of the band’s Scandinavian melodic death metal are very scarce, as the band has turned into a more epic approach. The melodies are highly melancholic, and the overall sound is much darker. The band’s lyrics tend to be influenced (and occasionally taken) from classic poets like Hölderlin, Edgar Allan Poe, Finnish classic Eino Leino and other literature.

Finland has the best death metal bands, it’s pretty much the home of death metal.
The best melo-death metal bands come from sweden, GOTHEBORG.
But Insomnium is also good:D
Insomnium is awesome…epic, powerful and meaningful. The lyrics and music work in perfect harmony to produce audio-based bliss.
