With Insomnium no longer having the service of guitarist Ville Vänni and his replacement by Markus Vanhala, the lead guitarist of Omnium Gatherum, Shadows Of The Dying Sun presents the possibility of a merging of the titans, so to speak. However, their sixth full length studio effort is no less Insomnium in style and execution than what preceded it, which means we're granted yet another excellent album from this premier melodic death metal band.

Written by deadone on 06.01.2015 at 01:35 You're welcome.  Quote: Fair enough.. And where as the offence is concerned, ofc you needn't worry about users. I only highlighted something you said that offends the website's posting policy.. I felt that was a reasonable concern we should help ourselves to.

Written by deadone on 06.01.2015 at 01:35 I just saw Insomnium live yesterday, and although most of their songs are pretty samey, they are good live. Seeing them live might change your opinion.Also, some suggestions that surprisingly didn't show up above. In Mourning (very consistent and catchy, even though the last was a bit weaker), Avatar (First three, last two sucks), Baht (Very very good), Daath (a bit run-of-the-mill perhaps, but enjoyable), Deathember (Highly recommended, more thrashy though, I guess), Enthrope, In Vain (Please listen to these guys, highly inventive style), MyGrain (Split up a while ago though...)

Good one but somehow last 2 was what i listened most and can discuss most, this is still some older sound IMO

Written by [user id=248801] on 08.04.2020 at 21:53 I disagree. For me the standout songs are the final two. Overall, I dont care very much about this album, it is good at best.
