INSOMNIUM have released the visualizer video for "Stained in Red" - created by The Dor Brothers (thedorbrothers.com) with the help of AI. Watch it now BELOW.
""Stained in Red" was written during the pandemic as an antidote to lighter, acoustic-orientated stuff we were coming up with. After the more mellow Argent Moon EP, I wanted to write something more aggressive and heavier", says Ville Friman (guitars). "Some influences from OPETH and GOJIRA can possibly be heard on this one, as these bands were on heavy rotation on my playlist at that time."
Originally Songs of The Dusk was a part of the Ltd. Deluxe 2CD Artbook of Anno 1696, but it is now available separately as: Ltd. CD Digipak, LP with etching on side B and as Digital EP. Purchase your copy here: https://insomnium.lnk.to/SongsOfTheDusk-EP. Available vinyl colors are listed below:
black LP - available all outlets
ltd. white LP (limited to 300 copies) - from cmdistro.de & various other retailers
ltd. transp. light blue LP (limited to 300 copies) - from the European bandshop
ltd. transp. red LP (limited to 300 copies) - from the North American bandshop and available on tour
INSOMNIUM comments: "As the album would have been too long, we left these three tracks out on the initial version, yet they are part of the Anno 1696 story and complement it and some of the gaps are being filled. Songs Of The Dusk offers an alternative ending, so people can decide which kind of mood they prefer. This version is a bit more hopeful and less tragic, at least on a general INSOMNIUM scale - everyone is dead...except the wolves."
The Finnish melodeath masters are looking forward to presenting their new songs live on their extensive European headlining tour that is now underway. In addition, INSOMNIUM just announced Finnish shows for 2024. See below for all dates!
