I'd be damn proud of Be'lakor if I were you, since you're from Australia. Be'lakor are at least equal to Insomnium round here at Metal Storm. I know as a fact that the bands share some influences, but don't actually listen to each other.

I live in australia but im actually finnish haha but i just hate seeing bands rip of other bands styles, it's really anoying, one band sstarts it and works hard to eprfect it than another comes along and just go's oh that sounds goo lets take that. I have seen so many opeth rip off here to it's not funny haha

Asennevammaa havaittavissa I can hear Insomnium's influences as clearly as those of Be'lakor. Both bands are fantastic.

Hopefully it tops their last effort! Something like 'Above the Weeping World' thank you!

Insomnium you've guys have done Awesome with your pass albums. I believe you can do the same with this one.
P.S. Weather the Storm, Kick ass

According to the Finnish metal magazine Inferno the exact release date for Finland would be October 12. Waiting for sources in English...

Some of their advertisers have to tell us where to pre-order the album! :banger2:

This should be a great one!

Oh can't wait..! Really wonder what it will be like.. All of Insomnium albums are better than one another so there's no favourite or the best! I'm sure this will be just another "best" from Insomnium..

I'm not really expecting the best they've ever done, because for me their best feels almost impossible to top

Just read an article (in Finnish) about the pre-listening session. "Through The Shadows" includes clean vocals by Ville Friman, while "Lay The Ghost To Rest" spans beyond the 7 minute mark. "Song Of The Blackest Bird" is also described as epic.

EDIT: Haha, dammit. The author of the said article just added the tracklist into it and there's already an album edit pending. So here it comes:

1. Inertia
2. Through the Shadows
3. Song of the Blackest Bird
4. Only One Who Waits
5. Unsung
6. Every Hour Wounds
7. Decoherence
8. Lay the Ghost to Rest
9. Regain the Fire
10. One for Sorrow

Weather the storm is amazing....can't wait for the whole album

Here's the upcoming single...

My thoughts exactly . I'm eager to know what kind of atmosphere this album will bring. Although obviously, coming from them there ain't doubt that is going to be another brilliant album.

Well I think Unsung has proved that this is gonna be fantastic (as usual)..
But actually I was expecting something more melodic, with more whispers and with killing brutal vocals.. (Don't hate me, I didn't say I don't like Unsung. It's obviously great!)
It's also nice to hear that Friman is singing too, as clean back vocalist..

You're both right. I've just listened to the album and it's another brilliant effort. A review of it will be available next week in one of the portuguese webzines I write to (but only in portuguese, I'm sorry). Anyway, the wait is worth

Aye, heard through the shadows & Unsung and I was fucking blown away.. Christ, I'm even finding my past fav bands pretty boring now. Needless to say, can't wait to hear the whole album.

The release date is creeping closer...

Badass album
keep the good work Insomnium \m/

I'm one of their biggest fans... Most definitely my favourite band.

I'm unsure if I like the production on this one... Is it just different or is there too much sound around? Have they changed their sound? It sounds like the quality of the sound is not good but if I listen more closely it doesn't seem distorted... I like it, that's for sure, but I'm not sure if I love it...

Let's give it 20 more spins and then I'll give my verdict

The songwritting is great though.

I think that's what helps differentiate Insomnium from other melodic death metal bands. It's like they go out of their way to ensure a less polished sound, but you can still make everything out. And the rough edges just support the melancholic atmosphere.

Melodic metal done right.

Why can't we rate it when a sound preview was already available?
Awesome as expected.
