Epitaph:
Juhani Palomäki (1977-2010)
The bells toll the end of time.
Our deeds have been written and the final judgement is at hand.
There will be no new beginning, brighter days nor gloomier nights.
The future seems insignificant.
The herd will fall by its leader but forever stand for his beliefs and remembrance.
Your presence shall be imminent.
Farewell, Juhani. May you rest in peace.
Worldwide release: March 25th

Perhaps the only thing more depressing than this album is that it's the last album Colosseum are going to release, due to the only other other thing perhaps more depressing than this album: Juhani Palomäki's tragic death. And in case you were wondering - yes, Parasomnia is the epitome of bittersweet. /wrist Troy Gallant's picks | More picks ›› |

I like this more than 2 but still not up there with 1... The opener is pretty awesome.

"The herd will fall by its leader but forever stand for his beliefs and remembrance." Thinking about that while listening to this album is overwhelming.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 09.06.2011 at 02:15 For some rason... That was one of the most bloodchilling epitaphs I've read in my life. I think the music helped a great deal to make me feel that way.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 11.06.2011 at 01:10 I finally got it and gave it a listen at night in completely darkness. Holy shit you're not kidding. Immense indeed. The brutal and omg-so-haunting vocals, the riffs, the drums and the use of keyboards...Everything. Nothing short of of a mezmerising piece of art imo.

We've lost both Yearning and Colosseum. RIP Juhani... You are one my favorite composers.
