Insomnium announce new album “Netherworlds” – new single with video out now

Finnish band Insomnium is unveiling their latest single and video, “Gleam in the Black,” offering an even deeper descent into darkness and the shadowy realms beyond. 

Niilo Sevänen comments: “Being one of the faster songs on the new album, this is a track that should get the crowd moving when played live. It definitely carries a classic INSOMNIUM spirit. The lyrics tell a dark and mysterious love story, capturing the mood and atmosphere of the entire album. We are doomed to wander the nightly woods, searching for something lost long ago, something we can reach only in our dreams. That single gleam of light amidst the blackness.”
