Insomnium - One For Greatness!
Interview By: David Priest © 2011 On Track Magazine.com While Swedish bands such as In Flames, Dark Tranquillity and At the Gates may have ushered in a new
genre of music originally dubbed the Gothenburg sound and later identified as
the Melodic Death Metal movement, it has fallen on a handful of Finish artists
to carry on the evolution of the genre and lead it into uncharted waters. One
band, Insomnium
have almost single handedly paved the way for this morphogenesis to take place
and with their forthcoming new CD One For Sorrow they are primed and ready to unleash hell on
earth. Darker and deeply more melancholic than any of their Swedish peers, Insomnium proceed with a conviction unparalleled
in the current state of the Melodic Death Metal variety. As a result to their overwhelming
dedication and perseverance I felt it was high time for a chat to gain some
insight into the forthcoming venture the band are
preparing to undertake. Speaking with guitarist/co founder Ville Friman this task was achieved and the eminent destruction
this band is preparing will surely mark a milestone in their career. Listen in
to the chat below and discover for yourself the genuine passion and ingenuity
this band wields so elegantly. |
