PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Finnish melodic deathsters INSOMNIUM have been forging a very special release during the last months. ‘Winter’s Gate’ is a concept album that is made of one epic 40 minute song. The album is built around a short story called ‘Winter’s Gate’ (Talven portti in Finnish) written by vocalist & bassist Niilo Sevänen, which won awards and nominations in Finland back in 2007 and 2008. It’s a story about a group of Vikings who set out to find a fabled island west from Ireland, even though the winter is drawing near.
The full story is released together with the album as a book that has the tale in English, Finnish and German – illustrated by the artist Teemu Tähkänen.
The album is currently being mixed by Dan Swanö at Unisound AB studio in Sweden. A worldwide release through Century Media Records will be out September 23rd 2016. Tour dates for Autumn and Winter will be announced soon.
