"Usually people are drunken, someone is naked and stuff like
that!"
Translation: Hanna Häßlein
…doesn’t really sounds like something a melodic-death-metaler would say, yet, it is just that. The origin
of this colorful hustle and of the dark music lies, as per usual, in Finland. On January 1st, 2017 at the Colos-Saal-Aschaffenburg we spoke to Niilo Sevänen (vocals, bass) of Insomnium. Our first video-interview of 2017 mainly dealt
with, aside from naked truths, the current (and
well deserved) successful album Winter’s
Gate.

More specifically, we spoke about the Winter’s
Gate European Tour (pictures here),
Germany, the emergence of the album, Niilos writing projects, contentual questions such as the ending of the
short story, the special features of an album with only one song, Niilos
favorite season and favorite part
and the already mentioned backstage
story, which is turning Insomnium into God the Father in Realisart!’s
personal Best-of-Olympics. ;)
It is not only their story that is godly, but also their album “Winter’s
Gate”. Its concept, music and content are a comprehensive victory and show a
whole new side of Insomnium while remaining faithful to their old ways. Finish melodic death metal at its best!
