Our Take
Our Take
Insomnium's latest effort, "Anno 1696," brings a refreshing twist to the melodic death metal genre. With haunting melodies and brutal riffs, this Finnish quartet proves they're not just another cookie-cutter band.
The album kicks off with the epic track "The Pursuer," setting the tone for what's to come. With intricate guitar work and powerful vocals, Insomnium transports listeners to a dark and mysterious world.
Tracks like "The Harvester" and "The Bearer" showcase the band's dynamic range, blending heavy aggression with soulful melodies. The haunting lyrics and atmospheric soundscapes add to the overall experience, creating a truly immersive listening journey.
However, the album is not without its flaws. Some tracks feel a bit formulaic, lacking the innovation and creativity that we've come to expect from Insomnium. That being said, the band's impressive musicianship and tight production help elevate the material.
Overall, "Anno 1696" is a solid addition to Insomnium's discography. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it's a thoroughly enjoyable listen that will please fans of the genre. So, grab a pint of mead, don your chainmail, and give this album a spin – you won't be disappointed.
