Our Take

Finland's finest purveyors of melodic death metal are back with their fourth studio album, "Across the Dark," and let me tell you, it's a real diamond in the rough. INSOMNIUM have always had a knack for blending gut-wrenching aggression with hauntingly beautiful melodies, and this album is no exception.

From the moment the needle hits the ultra clear vinyl, you're transported to a dark and atmospheric world where sorrow and rage collide in a symphony of sonic perfection. The guitar work is nothing short of mesmerising, with intricate riffs and blistering solos that will leave you breathless.

But it's not just the musicianship that shines on "Across the Dark." The vocals are guttural and intense, conveying a sense of desperation and anguish that cuts straight to the core. And the lyrics, oh boy, don't even get me started. They're like poetry for the metalhead soul, touching on themes of loss, longing, and despair with a poetic grace that is truly unmatched.

Overall, "Across the Dark" is a masterclass in melodic death metal, showcasing INSOMNIUM at the top of their game. So grab a bottle of your favourite Finnish vodka, slip this album on the turntable, and prepare to be blown away. Trust me, you won't regret it.
