INSOMNIUM Release Four-Track EP ‘Argent Moon’
September 17th, 2021

Joensuu, Finland-based melodic death metal band Insomnium issued four-song EP Argent Moon on September 17th, 2021 through Century Media Records.

Sevänen commented: “When the Corona outbreak forced us to cancel all the tours and shows, we pretty soon adopted a mindset that we better do something and keep ourselves in motion. We wanted to try how the streaming shows might work. We wanted to see what kind of new music might grow in the darkness and misery of the quarantine. And soon these vibes were channeled into songs that came to be the Argent Moon EP.

“We wanted to try something a bit different so all the four songs on this release represent the softer side of Insomnium. The ballads and the mellow tunes. Acoustic guitars and clean vocals. The sorrow and agony that creeps into your heart when the nights grow longer. But fear not, we haven’t changed our style. Next album will be something different again. We used all the ballad ideas here so maybe it will be pure blast beats. We shall see.”

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘The Conjurer’
02. ‘The Reticent’
03. ‘The Antagonist’
04. ‘The Wanderer’

Insomnium’s line-up is as follows:

Niilo Sevänen (vocals and bass)
Ville Friman (guitar and vocals)
Jani Liimatainen (guitar and vocals)
Markus Vanhala (guitar)
Markus Hirvonen (drums)

Music videos were filmed for all four tracks, which can be viewed below.

Eighth studio record Heart Like A Grave was released in October 2019.
