INSOMNIUM crash Finnish album charts


Insomnium INSOMNIUM's amazing new album "Above The Weeping World" has gone straight into the top ten in the Finnish album charts ahead of mainstream acts such as Justin Timberlake.
Recorded at renowned Fantom and Finnvox Studios, "Above The Weeping World" contains INSOMNIUM's skilled melodic death metal, stunningly heavier with even further dynamic and melodic variety than that of their previous efforts.
"This is by far the best INSOMNIUM album", says vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevaenen. "It is the first time we feel we really succeeded in the studio. We have nine great tracks on the album. As a band we are very happy with the end result."
For the past three years, Finland's INSOMNIUM have quietly founded a strong sales history and supportive fanbase. Their two recordings, In The Halls Of Awaiting and Since The Day All Came Down, represent mere glimpses into the potential of this still very young band. Formed in 1997, the band recorded two demos before signing with Candlelight Records.
Metal Hammer says, "INSOMNIUM are captivating from start to finish."
Kerrang add, "INSOMNIUM have grown into something truly remarkable." KKKKK!
