Thanks for checking out the song🙂

As I've said before, and will keep saying: Insomnium, the band that puts the MELODIC in Melodic Death Metal.

That "harken now, to the song of dusk" part is exquisite

You ought to take 42 minutes and listen to Winter's Gate front to back. It's incredible

“Heart like a grave” - I’m almost crying from this video and song. Insomnium and Septicflesh are the biggest discoveries for me in 2023

I bet you'd love the whole Heart Like a Grave album - it is entirely of this kind of vibe, and the 1st album to include Jani doing the clean vox.

Fell in love with this band over the last year. So many feels. Just takes you away. The Scandinavian death metal bands are soo good. A lot are new to me and its been great discovering them.

The comings and goings of this masterpiece are a Rollercoaster for your ears and heart, only an artist can evoque this kind of feelings and sensations. It is only INSOMNIUM

Thank you for your Insomnium video! Insomnia is always good Now lately I've been listening to their last album (Anno 1696) every time I drive. It's just so good... Someone suggested you the song "Winter's Gate", a 40-minute piece. If I remember, I think I also wrote about it in connection with your first Insomnium reaction video. So I'm repeating myself now. 😁 I recommend that song, it's a great Viking story. ----------------------------- BTW. News about the new album of another North Karelian band, Nightwish. Kai Hahto informed yesterday that now all the band members' instruments have been recorded and the London part is next, i.e. the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the choir parts. The vocal parts are recorded last. We are anxiously waiting to see if there are other singers besides Floor, probably Troy, but what about the bassist. Will Jukka get to sing too???

You deserve all those subs. Your reactions are genuine. In a false world full o'shite, that's a rare gem. Thank you for spending quality time with us. I mean that, man.

Awesome, was just waiting when some reactions will appear on this song, but many other channels have not yet picked it up

I see noone mentioned Riivata Visuals. There are 2 talented guys behind it that make these awesome videos, that also play in the band Atlas (Northcore). You need to hear Ukko, Uhri and Susi. One of them also plays in Assemble the Chariots and from them you must hear Empress. 😊 Enjoy!

I'm late to this reaction, but I'm very happy to see Insomnium getting the love they deserve. I'm a massive melo-death fan, and Insomnium are easily in my top 5 melo-death acts along with their sibling band Omnium Gatherum.

Epic live show this year.... again, in Baltimore. Another one of my absolute favs.

Insomnium makes me feel so calm and comfortable, love it

Fell in love with both the song and the video when it showed up in my feed a couple weeks ago or smth. Absolute masterpiece ❤

had the luck of seeing them about two weeks ago, they sound incredible also live , one of the best shows I've ever heard

Northern melancholy at it's best. no matter if it's insomnium, wintersun, iotunn, swallow the sun...all of them deliver. And I am not tired yet of telling you to try out some IOTUNN :D weaver system is big yes for example. cheers dude!

Saw them yesterday in Krakow, insane energy from band, powerful music, and that incredible voice. Visit if you can, just to see the show. No matter, there is 400 or 40000 people under stage, you will be satisfied, couse those Artists will give you 100% of energy.

That was really good.

Great stuff as always! I appreciate you to and love that we, the viewers, can come along for this journey, so exciting ^^ /,,/ I know I already recommended 'In Mourning' before but I really think you would appreciate a live video of theirs for the lil' extra on top ;) "In Mourning - The Black Lodge - Live @ Orsa Livesessions 2022" One of their older and most beloved tracks, hope you'll like it.

More Insomnium is always better! I would like to see your reaction to The Gale + Mortal Share from them. These songs are number 1 and 2 on their album Above The Weeping World, and the band has played these songs successively on live shows with The Gale working as an intro song. And dear Cosmic, I would also like to invite you to enjoy more of finnish epic metal music in the form of MOONSORROW. They brand themselves as pagan metal, and they have elements of black and folk metal with incredible melodies. Vocalist/bassist Ville Sorvali has a very unique, raw sound in his scream/growl with lot of emotions, and it fits the band perfectly. Oh, and they sing in finnish! I was wondering very hard which song I should recommend, as their first albums were more on the folkier side with slightly shorter songs (under 10 minutes :D ). But on the other hand, their 4th album Verisäkeet (Blood Verses) was the album where the band said they found what they want to make with Moonsorrow (and that album is a favorite for many, including myself). I guess I'll throw a few here and see if others have an opinion what to listen first: Ukkosenjumalan Poika (Son Of The Thunder God), from their first album Suden Uni (Wolf's Dream) released in 2001 (song duration 6:09) Raunioilla (At The Ruins), from their third album Kivenkantaja (Stonebearer) released in 2003 (song duration 13:36, so a standard Moonsorrow song) Pimeä (Dark), from their fourth album Verisäkeet (Blood Verses) released in 2005 (song duration 14:08) And finally. I think at least this masterpiece will hit Cosmic, but I don't know if it should be the first reaction : Jotunheim, from Verisäkeet (Blood Verses) (song duration 19:28) Oh and don't worry about the durations, those songs will end too fast. I would recommend to have the translated lyrics so you will know what the song is about. Ps. Sorry about the wall of text. I got excited when I found several Moonsorrow reactions, since only a few years ago reactors had issues with copyrights but it seems to be good now :)

Perhaps something of a faster tempo next, concidering the songs you have reacted i'd suggest the long time fan favorite song Down with the sun - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ad-JabWQlrO8lGQ.html Or alternatively, if you want to hear how they sound in allmost full acoustic setting this is the one to go for, The Wanderer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbyhndOU27HKeI0.html I'm sure this would be a huge suprise to you hehe.
