The best way to describe Insomnium would be to call it "poets with metal riffs"

The way the lady reacts is basically a personification of what happens inside your body when you listen to something like Insomnium while truly feeling what the band is all about.

I love Insomnium for their soft melodic bridges, it's their specialty! While we sleep is definitely my favourite track!

Melodeath is just something else as you said, but Insomnium is like NO OTHER melodeath band! Listen to Pale Morning Start and you'll be crying, I'll bet!

If HLS will react to it, choose not the official video, could happen it will be blocked. So eitehr you hide it, or choose the version with only the Album cover is showed.

Insomnium and Omnium Gatherum are from a different world. That's normal because they have the same producer/lead guitar. Amazing vibes that this two bands can pass through

Ahh, thank you so much for reacting to Insomnium! Love them! ❤ "My Pale Morning Star" (lyric video) from their album "Heart Like a Grave" (2019) is the saddest, most beautiful song which makes you feel warm inside and love the whole world. A true masterpiece.

Omnium Gatherum is another great melodeath band in the same vein as Insomnium, particularly since they share the same lead guitarist (Markus Vanhala).

I love this reaction. Hit all the pointers! New sub! I love Insomnium and Melodic Death Metal

Cheers from Joensuu, Finland! Much respect to Dr. Metal, it warms my heart to hear about her. Imho, sounding more 'mainstream' shouldn't have such negative connotation to it; I consider making music a bit more accessible for the members of the general public who are curious about the various virtues of metal music a pretty great development. That also opens doors for more creativity and eclectism, not having to compete in 'heaviness' or some other juvenile category of exclusivity or elitism. Metal unites people, metal relates to the numerous facets of the human existence (and not just to some adolescent power fantasies), metal is kathartic, metal provides food for thought and metal helps one brace for the reality - just like any other ambitiously refined genre of music, or art in general! Therefore, it is _absolutely ok_ to be mature and functional _and_ like metal music. Markus Vanhala's other band, Omnium Gatherum, has this gem, The Unknowing: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hKeeqtiahZinmc4.html . The song, with its music video, sounds pretty unique to me, and it is fully certified as _zen_ as fuck. And by fuck we mean a _zen fuck._ You gotta see this some day, or you won't get to dine in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Insomnium is the musical definition of melancholy. So dark and emotional.. so perfect! I love how his voice is the constant.. the "base", the one thing that is static in most of their songs, and the music is so colorful and melodic.. Sort of the music and the lyrics are telling the story, but his voice is the rough base.. the binding of the book sort of. Don't know if it makes any sense.. anyway its incredible music! WolfKain just sitting there.. eyes closed.. enjoying.. that's me after a long workday, just relaxing..

Insomnium produces some of the best melodeath I've heard. Their song "While We Sleep" is one of my go-to's when I need to chill, and now I've been introduced to this song which I'll add to my playlists. Thank you! Another interesting melodeath group you may want to explore is Parasite, Inc.

Been listening to the band since 2006 and every album is a masterpiece imo, glad to see people enjoying it. Wasn't expecting to see Uriah and and the undefeated goat Chael ! :D

Best band of all time

I've loved this band since the mid 2000's. Y'all should check out some Kalmah for that old school melodic death sound.

One of my favourites for the album.

This album with Master Quality on Tidal is breathtaking. It’s so clear with a wide sound gate.

After watching your AIC Nutshell reaction about 2.5 years late, I was wondering if you could review the Mother Love Bone song Chloe Dancer/ Crown of Thornes? It and Nutshell are my favorite songs from the Grunge era. You may have already heard it, if not I feel you will not be disappointed. It was written as 2 songs that are played together for the singers girlfriend Xana. The song is about his love for her and her fight to help him overcome his addiction. Sadly Xana would find him unresponsive from a heroin OD that killed him. It is not your typical grunge song, It starts with 70's glam rock flare to ends in full grunge glory. I think the both of you would enjoy it. Love and peace to you both.

React to Between the Buried and Me "Fix the Error".They dropped this new song and It's Bananas and amazing!

Enslaved as an intro, Insomnium as a reaction, am I dreaming.

I would like to see some more melodic death metal videos. A tribute to the Gothenburg sound? In Flames, At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity are the big three that "pioneered" this genre. Dark Tranquillity in particular is one of my favorite bands and are very underrated in my opinion.

Great band

How did you create the synth version of the track? It played after the video during the review. Loved seeing another fan born

A little bit out of your wheelhouse but I reckon rge falling in reverse re-imagined versions of "the drug in me is you" and I'm not a vampire" would have Sistah in tears. Not a fan of the band but these songs are something else

All of Insomnium's music it amazing but "While We Sleep" is a masterpiece. Do this one next!

One of my favorite albums ever🤘 Finnish melodeath is kind of own gende and swedish melodeath is they own gende too. 2 subgende's inside a gende what is a subgende? 🤔

Judging from the trend so far, if I had to listen to a Dr. Metal dictated playlist for a month straight, I wager that I would be totally contempt and satisfied with the choices of songs =)
