insomnium is by far the most beautiful band i have ever listened to. Their lyrics are always so fucking good. They have a way of making sorrow and gloom seem so transcendent. This is music. This is art. I love you insomnium. thank you for making such amazing music.
It can be seen a thousand hours of work...and it's just....just great! Insomnium are kings of atmosphere, form every song I have chill in my back...pure, epic, great, best melodeath on the Earth :)
I remember, when I first heard this song.. I wrote the lyrics down and gave them to my girlfriend at the time.. We were in a tough spot in our relationship. So she left me when I gave her the lyrics, but now, when I hear this song, I come to realize that nothing was my fault. She wasn't the one. And it was her loss, not mine. Thank God for Insomnium!
Anyone got tabs for this great song? I'd love to play it but can't find their tabs anywhere and I'm new to playing guitar so I can't really tab by ear.
I love the "Above the Weeping World" album so much... I've been playing through it since my friend let me borrow it, I don't have any idea how many times now...
New favourite band, theyre amazing. I was hoping to find some guitar tabs for theyre songs but there are barely any. Hoping to tab some of it myself soon. =D
Hah, in spite of having their tracks on my harddisk, I prefer to hear them in youtube always.. the comments section of Insomnium's songs is always a treat to read, as all the discussion is about the sheer brilliance of their music and not some shitty comparisons and crap talk, which you find a lot in other bands music. I so very much hope this band becomes so popular, but at the same time, they should never change the music they make, which has happened a lot with other great bands in the past.
haha, wait a few more weeks and you will start praising 75% of their tracks. The instrumentals and the epic 7+ minute songs are insanely awesome, and then you have the great atmospheric tracks as well in the last 2 albums.. so there really aren't too many moderately good songs. all that Insomnium touch turns into platinum ^^
gah, am i the only one that found insomnium through drawn to black? well it wasnt the first song i heard, first was mortal share, but drawn to black was what cemented it.
I don't actually like mortal share as much as the rest (not to say that it isn't amazing)
It seems like Insomnium writes there melodies with love in mind, rather than hate, or anger or anything else unpleasant. True the lyrics may be about love gone bad, but the sheer beauty of all the instrumentals is more sophisticated and superior in most other ways to most other metal. Including bands like Kalmah, Opeth, and most others compared to insomnium on youtube.
completely agree. I find many other tracks of Insomnium much better than mortal share, but it seems that the video released with Mortal Share has a lot to do with its popularity. Stuff like Daughter of the Moon, Weighed down with sorrow, Bereavement, Killjoy, Since the day it all came down, at the gates of sleep,
Couldn't agree with you more. I also didn't like Mortal Share, but then i heard The Elder, and so In The Halls of Awaiting (the song) And In The Groves Of Death. Now i like all of their songs. Every song does simply have something amazing to it. either the riffs or the lyrics. Insomniums riffs and lyrics are the best you can find IMO. It's much more sophisticated than Opeth i would say.
I have been looking for people who feel the same way about Insomnium as I for years now. literally as soon as I was able to fathom just how amazing they were. I continue to find people who have heard them or listen to them, but their are not many who understand or have the ability to understaqn just how gold Insomnium is. But now you guys are just comming out of the wood works. what's up with that?
This is interesting, it's not like Insomniums other stuff it seems like a heavier less melodic approach still amazing non the less Insomnium forever =]
I usually don't care much for death metal and growling/grunting in particular, but this band is pretty fucking tight. Just goes to show you should always stay open to other genres of music.
This is a good song, but I'm gonna have to say Mortal Share is their best song. Nice choices though dude, Black Waters was the song that got me into insomnium =]
ive just noticed something, unlike a lot of other bands i have NEVER seen a comment on an Insomnium vid saying the band is bad, on just about all other bands and songs i have at least seen 1 or 2 comments, but NEVER on an Insomnium song, just goes to show how epic they are ^_^
damn straight, the growling vocals just give such an awesome effect which very few other bands have been able to replicate, the only other band i can think of with the same kinda vocals is mors principium est
This song is just pure awesomeness. So intense, so beautifull, I could listen to this song over and over and over again. The whole album Above the Weeping World is just insanely good and its one of few albums where I didn't even consider downloading it, I instantly bought it and it was worth every penny.
I admit it! I had tears in my eyes! Beautiful, kiitos Insomnium!

in the grooves of death, in the halls of the awaiting.. and the instrumentals are much better.
I've almost mentioned 1/4 of their tracks in the EPIC list.. such is the quality of this band.
