Insomnium - The Elder

[Mandalor91]

It has been over five years since I found Insomnium; five years since I discovered the power of music. T'was The Elder that brought me into metal and taught me that darkness is not to be feared. Some things never die...

[DominanceZero]

nice

[mariuszpaok]

Maybe my favourite song...

[necroflesher]

first isnomnium song I ever heard love this band

[vikingablod1016]

2:45 best part. i like when he sings "nature joins as one with him"

[kireek666]

iam i the only one that noticed that close to 1.25 one of the drummer suports nearly fell?

[ZodiacDragons]

what was that square thing she put into that big block at the beginning?

[BabbageBabble]

This video and song was my first introduction to the band. It's still awesome.

[HARPAL88]

@BabbageBabble like me it was the first song when i descover the band and i ll never forget the firts sensation it was just amaizing !!!!!

[volovcica15]

i think they shouldn't have any music videos, their album covers are better to watch when you're listening to them. they seem so unreal but perfect

[InVerum]

Insomnium .. pshh . More like WINsomnium .. aha. aha...

[autumncheshire]

The best of Insomnium's songs. \o/

[lovedarkbreathe]

Fuckin' awesome. 

[koszoskepviselo]

\m/ I N S O M N I U M \m/

[lmlmelodeath]

esta cancion me hizo adicto al death melodico, que bueno...

[imadey0utube]

It's hard to listen to this song without the loud noise. xD

[LoseControlForDeath]

me: bye mom !!!!

mom: where on earth ARE YOU GOING !!!?!?!?

me: well .... i'm going to kill 4 people :D BIG DEAL

mom:alone ? I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU GO !

me:oh .. come on mom .... i have 339 friends ... and more to come !

[kappepoika]

@LoseControlForDeath i shame you ... this is Insomnium, not some mainstream rock band , get off

[dudeofmuchrock]

needs more views we need to spread this good metal

[ryurookie]

a video with no noise

[ryurookie]

insomnium keeps metal alive !

[sdp7x7]

1:25 enchanting.

[InsomniumGhost]

I love this video

[jaimeexd]

4 people are no Elders. their standing forever alone.

[V3rciS]

amazing... 

[EpicKaTaToNiA]

Mine is the kingdom far from the moon to the sun, I am the elder standing forever as one= FUCKING EPIC, Insomnium forever!!!

[salomon291]

I like when he says "I am The Elder"

[salomon291]

I like when he say "I am The Elder"

[missrubydoo]

@pspvampire

Most of Trivium is pretty crummy, but the ones where they're doing instrumentals is enjoyable. Thats what I meant. Either way, I like it...

Granted, they don't even compare to Moonspell or Insomium by far :p

[pspvampire]

FIRRR TREEES

sorry, had to be done xP

[Fyr333Zg]

look, no noise!  :D

[pspvampire]

@Fyr333Zg well...2:17 :S weird thing there.

[KARNAGE94]

I love the music and I love the video but I just don't like these type o vocalistes ...

[vanutra]

1:25 make me melt.

[missrubydoo]

This video makes me happy. I actually love how metal bands blend with the almost classical bits. Like Moonspell does it, Trivium does it. Even slipknot in some of their music. Its awesome <3

[vanutra]

@missrubydoo Get yourself into Opeth ;)

xxx

[missrubydoo]

@vanutra

Omg I love Opeth. They're fantastic!

[pspvampire]

@missrubydoo trivium? slipknot? sorry... credibility = lost

[Bman1393]

pure godliness.......

[PaulBeauregard1979]

cassette tape walkman,, wow,. memories ;)

[pspvampire]

@PaulBeauregard1979 lol I never noticed that before you mentioned it.

[wlminter]

Am I the only one confused by the use of a walkman and cassette tapes in this video? I mean, this video isn't THAT old.

[polymorphism666]

the theme song of my life..

[pspvampire]

thank god. no CCCRRRCHHHHHGGGNNKKKKKCHHHHSHS­S sound at the beginning like the other upload xD

[xGraViiTyGamingx]

4:50 ruined this song!

[hangingrock57]

Just my opinion but I think these guys would be huge if they got away from the gutteral vocals and went with someone ala Ronnie James Dio..rest his soul..or Bruce Dickinson. Just my opinion..

[SycamoreHill14]

@hangingrock57 Nah, I really get annoyed of vocals like that. Like most Power Metal bands use. Honestly, if Power Metal bands used vocals like this, they would have alot more fans. Just my opinion. Stay Metal. \m/

[pspvampire]

2:17 ruined this :'(

Jk, nothing can ruin this masterpiece :D

[pspvampire]

Thumbs up if you think this should be the theme of the next ELDER Scrolls game :D

I can imagine it now... at the title screen, the gentle mellow intro while it scrolls across the map and then the words SKYRIM pop up while the distorted guitar bursts into life :D

[Bman1393]

these guys are masters. period.

[mixalios100]

amazing song

[FullJarre]

cool, im from finland, like Insomnium and from Joenuu like Insomnium :)

[BvOBart]

@FullJarre I'm going to Joensuu as part of an exchange project in 3 days and I just found out Insomnium comes from Joensuu. AWESOME!!!

[Silencial]

@FullJarre you must be one lucky motherfucker, me jealous.

[DisperseShots215]

3:50

fukin amazinggg

[multymetalnl]

[X1HellsSabre1X]

omg this song is amazing. the beginning totally made me tweek when he yelled for some reason

[TheGinethcallejas]

exelente banda guaooo !

[edirislas]

people coment about if in fames was good or not in a insomnium video?????

[MetelAdict]

why debate? Melodeath in general rules, so just listen to what you want to. Personally, in flames, amazing, this, orgasmic

[VeniouseVostok]

Inflames suck

[Melodeathmetalhead]

wow a legit walkman. havent seen one of those in a while :P lol

[DarkDiscipleAA]

@Melodeathmetalhead

well sony stoped production of them after 30 years of use

becous they became obselite..

[bloodyrockfire]

mind melting song;the reason why melodic death metal is more special:it transcends you into the traditional NWOBHM and then death growls added;the best meal for our ears;perfectly cooked

[GustaveGray]

one of their best songs!

[marinesxtw]

@sleepwalkingparallel made me laugh

[tacityrn]

i'm riding above your northwind

[multymetalnl]

there can be no more emotion and perfection in anny other song/band but this one

insomnium is just amazing.

[tacityrn]

@multymetalnl ahaha gotta love it when it has that effect

[tacityrn]

@multymetalnl try every other song by them ;)

[niggercoffee]

I don't like this band SOOO much,

but this song is the best!

[bluetigerm4]

@niggercoffee against the stream is a better song but INSOMNIUM is the walhalla for the melodic death metal fans...

[niggercoffee]

@bluetigerm4 i don't like Melodeath that much ;)

[sleepwalkingparallel]

@niggercoffee what kind of name is that asshole

[niggercoffee]

@sleepwalkingparallel what kind of name is that part of body where shit comes out.

[sugessad]

@sleepwalkingparallel An awesome name.

[xCh1eFx]

[METALRAGEinBLOOD]

[METALRAGEinBLOOD]

fkin epic !!! insomnium rulzz

[sugessad]

I'm a whirl deep in dark waters,

A stare in the shades of fir-trees

I'm riding above with north wind,

Herding the black clouds of rain

Mine is the kingdom,

Far from the moon to the sun

I am the elder,

Standing forever as one

[Bazatage]

Best part 0:00 - 4:50

[corpraltheoret19]

come to canada!!1

[benson1ification]

Anybody here that just sat still and listening to this magic? I didnt move until this song was finished

[sweetsongman1]

ive seen this video in a bit less color. everything was either gray and blue. and tell ya the truth i liked it that way. it gave a sorta pre-halloween theme or somethin like that. it was just better. but now the sound for it is tottally fucked up so im stuck with this :( its still a good video dont think i completely hate it i dont :P

[xSULTOx]

I'm THE ELDER

[Serpants6Sword]

The girl looks like Morgan from Kittie

[ShadowRaptor95]

(As of 6/19/10) Two people are very alone in this world.

[nategorga]

Reminds me of the old In Flames... awesome.

[XspecpowX94]

this band is just the best

[chaingunmassaker]

\m/

fuckin awsome!!! more i cant say!

and yeah keep \m/

[kalmah19090]

brutal yet beautiful...and the vocals are really good vocalist kicks ass

[LifeInHell08]

This band is so awesome, they doing a really great melodeath metal! And this song is so fucking great, I love Niilo Sevänen´s vocals a lot :D

[baselghost999]

yeah the vocal is gr8 he also the bassist he's my idol !

[CHUCHEMAN1]

very good band!!!

[lpObsession2005]

i like him better with the beard thing from mortal share.

[crispymeatman]

I Like.

[dodo4hire]

@crispymeatman i like liking.

[Bazatage]

SUOMI FINLAND PERKELE!!!! \m/

[PuffSmelly]

@Bazatage I have never been to your country but i would die for it

[Killensuen]

sound absolutely as Dark Tranquillity//awsome

[nordmarkrieger]

ääääähm ... nein

[skullznstuff3000]

@Killensuen Niilo: People who say we are just like DT have not really listened to our albums. They have maybe heard Mortal Share which has pretty Dark Tranquillity –kind of feeling. I like DT a lot, especially the older albums, but we are surely not imitating them. If you listen to our epic songs like At the Gates of Sleep or Last Statement you will hear that DT has never done anything like that.

ww w.ins omnium.n et/news/14/71/Metalreviews-com­-Above-the-Weeping-World/d,uut­inen

[XAp0ca1ypticaX]

@Killensuen true, they are both awesome bands

[Lenin2304]

@Killensuen Insomnium can shit on Dark Tranquillity's face.

[Atr0sis]

is cool man

[MMR38]

Sony Walkman...

[lpObsession2005]

random.

[metalbone]

Great band =]

[laondatripleoh]

kinda sounds like mikael stanne and Johan Hegg from amon amarth to me lol

[pasta296]

in flame's new album blows goats

[PerpetualDecay]

No this is much better than Scar Symmetry, its much more Dark Tranquillity mixed with opeth.

very good. Bugger, where sells the bands CDs?

[metalbone]

this band have nothing 2 do with their style and Opeth style,

[KingOfTerrors]

Is that what the typical finnish girl looks like?

[DeathlessStalker]

The singer really sounds like stanne IMO :D

[CrushTheUniverse]

Swallow The Sun

[phphphphphphph]

yeah and don't forget words of farewell

[TrueDamnation]

in addition, Dark Tranquillity and Dark Lunacy =)

[Melodeathhead]

Don't forget Opeth.

[ZonZorZerx]

If ya love Insomnium, try Kalmah, Norther, Children of Bodom, In Flames(Gothenburg type of melo death), Moonpspell, Amon Amarth ;)

[Ensiferum619]

ONLY OLD INFLAMES Like 1998 And older. NO NEW INFLAMES.

[ZonZorZerx]

Erm.. In Flames has always been good.

In Flames is still Gothenburg Melodic Death.. and they will hopefully continue that way

[kalmah19090]

@ZonZorZerx what are you talking about in flames sold out and is now shiitty metalcore they have not come out with a good album since clayman

[ZonZorZerx]

@kalmah19090 Lol, they may have gone more mainstream, but metalcore?

Stop embarassing yourself, they're exploring their own genre they pioneered.

I agree about old In Flames being better, but they have had great individual songs since then as well.

[JimKnopf15]

@ZonZorZerx rofl bullshit. their last four efforts are not even close to something that has word "death metal" in it.

[inerfalwar557]

@ZonZorZerx why are you talking about In Flames in an Insomnium awesome song?

[Pagnah]

@inerfalwar557 Because a twat brought something about In Flames up, but I can't remember what exactly. I won't bother reading old comments.

[avengedsevenfold1235]
