NEWS: Insomnium continue to demonstrate their love of Wolves!

After the release of their ninth album “Anno 1696” in early 2023 led us deep into the dark and troublesome past of Northern Europe, a time of witches, of superstition, of bloodlust and frenzy. And of werewolves. On 3rd November via Century Media, Insomnium will continue the epic story with EP “Songs of the Dusk“, another twenty two minutes of music and three more journeys into a dark and foggy past.

The band comments: “As the album would have been too long, we left these three tracks out on the initial version, yet they are part of the Anno 1696 story and complement it and some of the gaps are being filled. ‘Song Of The Dusk’ offers an alternative ending, so people can decide which kind of mood they prefer. This version is a bit more hopeful and less tragic, at least on a general Insomnium scale – everyone is dead… except the wolves.”

Bassist and vocalist Niilo Sevänen adds: “We simply had eleven great songs, and we thought that this material is too good to be ‘just’ bonus tracks. They are part of the big story, so you can think of them as the director’s cut material that tells a little extra. For those who want to have more.”
