I hate to interrupt the pages and pages of commentary, but I have to pose the question... Does it really fucking matter what their name means in Latin? Or who has the more reliable answers to pull from? Be it seven not so glorious years of studying a language that only doctors and priests seem to have a use for, or looking up Latin meanings on wiki whatever; Either way this is the stupidist list of commentary bullshit I have ever read to kill time waiting to get off of work.
Everyone please copy this message and post it on every Insomnium vid you can find. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the 1st of October 2011, we as Insomnium fans will all watch the video for 'Down with the Sun' to give it more hits and get it to that 1million mark.
Insomnium have written the most beautiful music for their fans and it is time we gave them something back.
Insomnium will be the next big band. Damn... I like them being the way they are, relatively underground and heard of by the small but awesome community of people :P
Seriously, they should re-record the demo album with a better sound. They only included "Dying Chant" on their real release. Don't get me wrong here, I don't mean the sound in the demo is not good...It's just obvious that they used processors.
@LeadForBreakfast I did not know that. But now i do and I'm glad you cleared it for me. Thanks. { One of the best bands there is, however their latest CD, i did not like at all. } Just like Draconian, all the cd's were good except the last one.
@LeadForBreakfast Somnus means sleep. The "in" preposition clearifies that there is an inversion: no sleep. Insomnius is probably the adjective form of this word (sleepless), which could be used like: "Insomnii noctes" (sleepless (plural) nights). Insomnium would be the accusative singular form of Insomnius. I don't think Insomnium means nightmare or bad dream, but I do see that there's negative meaning to the word, so I know what you're guessing from.
@BvOBart Don't you hate when people (like LeadForBreakfast) pretend to know anything about Latin? There are so many horrible Latin explanations polluting the internet - like hundreds of pages saying that "incubus" means "nightmare", when it really literally describes a demon that ("in cubat" - "lies upon") lies upon sleeping women to have sex with them.
@LeadForBreakfast ... please don't pretend to know anything about Latin if you don't actually know anything about it. "Insomnium" means "lack of sleep". "Insomnia" is just the plural form.
@Supermassively Actually, all I did was run a google search on it, several websites told me so. Plus the band have stated that the word insomnium has nothing to do with the sleeping disorder 'insomnia'. So please do some research before you pretend to know everything. And I think it would be best if you'd stop throwing fits and challenging people over the internet, because it's not something you're good at. oh well, I guess ignorance is bliss.
@LeadForBreakfast I've done my fair share of research, seeing as how I actually studied a great deal Latin at a collegiate level after four years of it in high school. Since I have the facts, I'd say I'm damn good at challenging your moronic, uninformed posts.
I don't give a rat's ass if it has anything to do with the sleep disorder. Latin roots are consistent, logical, and unchanging, and nowhere in Latin does "in+somnus" mean "nightmare".
Why don't you just grow a pair and say "I was wrong"?
@LeadForBreakfast HAHA! You'd trust some random, nameless morons who have never studied the language, over someone who has studied the language for seven years including three at an advanced collegiate level. And you even cite WikiAnswers! HAHA! Second only to YahooAnswers in terms of being notorious for having absolutely moronic answers freely editable by any uneducated moron who has no idea what he's talking about.
You're just being stubborn and can't admit that you were wrong.
@Supermassively It's between a random, nameless moron on WikiAnswers or a random, nameless moron on Youtube. Let me remind you that we're all anonymous over the internet. And the time you studied latin seems to have changed from four to ten years between your comments; this may lead me to believe you are bullshitting. And again with the hypocrisy, while you seem to believe that I'm the one being stubborn, take a look at yourself.
@Supermassively You have been disregarding every point I have brought up by mentioning your supposed time studying latin. However I do admit I may not have been completely correct because there seems to be many interpretations for the word 'Insomnium', but thats not the point I was trying to get through to you. I do think we should bring this argument to an end, because it's going nowhere.
WOW I don´t even know this song... I´ll have to search this Demo I´m a insomniac!!!!! YEAH!!!! their lyrics, their guitars their..all I just want to explode in rage whenever I listen to them!!!
Go to releases and click on the album thats at the bottom of the albums and there numen divinum should be...right click on "mp3" behind the numen song and click "save target as" ;) hope I have helped :)
