Insomnium - Ill-Starred Son

[hauptmann25]

this band is soo great. Just like be'lakor trough whom i found out about this band.

[strahinje]

i was so amazed when i discovered this band. I thought ensiferum and eluveitie was the best there is in this kind of category..When i heard insomnium,i knew i would never find anything as deep as them.

[NiggeliNG]

@strahinje insomnium, ensiferum and eluveitie aren't quite the same thing. insomnium play melodic death metal while ensiferum and eluveitie play viking-, respectively pagan metal

[cool25837005]

how do u pronounce Insomnium?

[Tinnerty]

@cool25837005 do you have different ways to pronounce it then? :)

[cool25837005]

@Tinnerty

In-somn-e-um

[SupaGrowby]

every song makes me wanna cry. it's so emotional. you can feel it under your skin.

[Mormegil22]

Wish their newest album sounded more like this. Clarity and less post-production done to it.

This whole album is glorious

[DosenFUker]

cool...this band is awesome...I need this album

[Serenadium64]

everybody bitches about rap on metal vids, the rap they play on the air is garbage, but underground and old school rap is good, immortal technique and cypress hill kick ass.

[80handicappeople]

@Serenadium64 My fave rap group is by far Bone Thugs. I listen to a little of everything, but my true life-force is metal. I've been playing guitar for 3 years now, and it's become my life already.

[Serenadium64]

@80handicappeople im not a huge fan, but i can give major props to bone thugs early work, metal is my primary genre as well, but you gotta have diversity in music.

[80handicappeople]

@Serenadium64 Hell yeah. You into melodic at all?

[cardboarddalek]

I can hear a bit of Agalloch in this

[voidofdeath]

My good Lord, this is so fcukin' AMAZING!

INSOMNIUM is my LIFE! ♥

[metalfreaksarah]

good as hell

[themjolner87]

0:37 really owns

[TheMrAdax]

My second fave band after Opeth. Uplifting song, fills me with energy!

[kilashl]

@HeavyMetalJack Obvious troll is obvious

[CoBInFlames91]

My favorite melodic death metal song at the moment.

[antonio1977jp]

Extremely beautiful melodies and really touching lyrics that can bring a person to tears.

Insomnium is amazing. This resumes everything what i can say about Insomnium.

HAIL INSOMNIUM!!!

[bongrocker]

Been listening to these guys since 2003. This is still one of my favorite metal songs ever. UNDERNEATH THE GRUELING WAVES!

[834635]

fucken A, better than some fucken polak tuts tuts tuts. I'm giving the album to you Alban!!!!

[JamesThurmond25]

A VERY excellent band. I want to see these guys live :)

[rayjobob]

[Aunrah01]

Awesome lyrics, awesome vocals, awesome song.

All Hail Insomnium

[medieval517]

I love this band, you can feel the emotions flowing,

[ykurtulus]

[InterpolFL]

strangely enough I had not heard of these guys until now...good shit so far.

[kiskiriw]

the second riffs is very similar to In Flames style... nice song though....

[evilheretik]

such a powerfull song, with so much meaning

yet again they impress me with an amazing song!

beautifull touching lynrics

hail insomnium

[bobpierce57]

@evilheretik

you and your fancy words

"Your Comment" aka "Epic Song"

[SkullcandyPersephone]

@evilheretik

Couldn't agree more, divine music!

[BlueShark45]

Wow,what an incredible song.

[undeadkemea]

A true masterpiece, I actually feel sorry for the one in the song who has lost his loved ones :(

[Vggamegod]

very interesting song, very sorrowful melody, awesome!

[PeterAndersonn]

bland with too much mid.

[PeterAndersonn]

my thoughts exactly.

[luzifer3]

His Voice is great!

[ChunkyPirate]

Pfft. Have you heard Journey Unknkown?

[896423658]

I am not talking about the rythm of the guitars, i am talking about their sound which seems to be dead, tired ...

But in a way this group is interesting and i really prefer this band to Children of Sodom.

[didntknowaname]

Why do you compare them to CoB? The only thing they have in common is that theyre both melodeath.

[896423658]

yes, you're right.

[madbullowns]

you mean children of Bodom?

[Melodeathmetalftw]

Insomnium= amazing band

Waiting impatiently for new album COME ON =P

[ChunkyPirate]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. New album? When, where, what, how?!?!?!?

[Ministryfan91]

i love this band 5*

[xBurzurkurx]

I've listened to this song several times now, and before I depart this post, it has come to mind, if you, HeavyMetalJack, don't like Metal...Why would you search this video up? And don't give me some lame ass excuse, "Oh my friend showed it to me".

[xBurzurkurx]

HeavyMetalJack, its not our fault you dropped out of school cause your such a lazy fucking idiot to do any work. Nobody gives a shit about your opinion of Metal, cause we all fucking love it. Go get an education, and make something of your pathetic life. If you can't do that, maybe YOU should commit suicide. These lyrics are beyond complexity for your 3rd grade mind to even have the slightest comprehension. You suck, fuck you, and good day. This song and band are fucking fantastic btw.

[subliminal14]

Unbelievably great lyrics and music. Amazing song. Insomnium ROCKS!

[laiho17]

Really good song from In The Halls of Awaiting, one of the best albums I ever heard.

And please shut up, these are metallyrics, they make still more sense then your Rap Music.

The lyrics are really good, like a poem in every Song, this is what the Band makes so awesome!

[Beta4Life]

How could anyone possibly not understand the lyrics to this song? It is clearly about the characters wife who killed herself (most likely drowned herself in a lake)after the birth of their stillborn son (aka already dead son). The narrator is planning on killing himself, likely in the same fashion.

Pretty simple to understand imo.

[kalmah19090]

oh and the music does have meaning and im sure if you look at the lyrics you would know this so stop being ignorant about our lyrics becaus eagain i can say that your rap music is all about geting out of the hood and how black people should be treated better.

[feelthesilence666]

Well done my friend...

This kind of posts are very useful...

Congratulations xD

I'll play the whole playlist :D

[tosathanhisang]

killing riffs!

[mcscorn]

HeavyMetalJack. You sir are retarded.

[AnarchisticLeper]

Well, as a general rule lyrics don't make "common sense"... If on the other hand you meant they don't make sense then you're wrong.

I love Finnish metal!

[StickySeatbelt]

that's what makes them so briljant. they dont make much sense, but if you listen, it kinda does make sense and it's just awesome.

[ChunkyPirate]

They make sense if you actually have intellect

[mcscorn]

Indeed ChunkyPirate.

[leaderOFlosers]

the lyrics are too complex for your feeble mind to understand.

[leaderOFlosers]

so the lyrics have to rhyme for it to be a song? how fucking dumb are you?

[leaderOFlosers]

you dont have a point, you make no sense...

[N00bicHairz]

Rofl!? These guys are the most poetic of all MDM, learn what you're talking about before you shit all over this comment board.

[ChunkyPirate]

Your an idiot. Just because your music is just about girls and money. Maybe some lyrics you actually have to think about.

[crashedeclipse96]

Your stupid, songs about Satan and Suicide thats Black Metal another sub-genre of Metal not Metal in general.

[Matinique91]

your a fucking descrace to metal people heavy metal jack..!

[PanagosGr33kG134EVER]

@HeavyMetalJack u must be quite retarded. Just bcs ur poor ears cant understand whta the vocalist is syaing doesnt mean they are worthless lines and shit. If this is not a song then what is? Rap? Lets not forget that songs require some musical instrument which rap doesnt have any. Its just electronic sounds, sinths and basses.

[KxK96]

@PanagosGr33kG134EVER agree sir except for the last part, music is like art ( in fact music IS ART lol) rap might sound stupid and meaningless to ur ears or someone elses, but to someone else its music , its a ``masterpiece´´ , same with metal and any other genres, we need to learn how to aprecciate music at its 200%. For example I love metal but i also like alternative, rock, punk, electronic, house , disco, indie and even some Lady gaga songs n im not afraid to say it :) lets not be mind close

[AxelleVIII]

well, maybe the sense is not easy to understand... I kinda like it, it's very sad and poetic. and the most part of the times if the lyrics are too simple, they're also boring or not original

[subliminal14]

Hahaha, you're to ignorant and stupid to understand the lyrics. Read between the lines and learn some english and writing btw :S because it's terrible. I suggest you go back to school, HeavyMetalJack.

[guitarisforever1234]

it's poetry

[CoBInFlames91]

@HeavyMetalJack you are a moronic douche bag why don't you look at the lyrics before making such a ridiculous comment. Actually don't even comment because your your such an ignorant stupid sack of shit and your words you say don't even make sense. for example '' they not catually rhymes so its not actually a song'' since when do you have to rhyme your words to make a song. You have serious issues my friend.

PS:not ''catually'' my friend

[subliminal14]

HeavyMetalJack, I've said it once before and other people have said it as well. You're TOO STUPID or ignorant to understand the lyrics!

[MrFreeman420]

i dont get how these guys write this stuff its so good

[Dominionlord]

awesome song

[parapa22]

In the halls of awaiting is one of the best melodeath albums ever created...!! A true masterpiece both musically and lyrically..

[jongmagee]

[XlVCentury]

This Band is pure awesomeness. <3

[manutdhater]

Woo, what lyrics for a song!! Seems like desperate plea or a note with a tinge of suicide. Love this...

[feederrockz]

[HonkeyStomper]

I said this on another INSOMNIUM video,but this is the fucking greatest album I own so far. Shit,what power!!!
