Insomnium, for example, is a bit like amon amarth, where, for a while after you first hear them, they seem amazing. Then slowly you realize that once you've heard a bunch of their music, it's all the same shit. Few bands really evoke emotion with me the way they intend to, but Insomnium is definitely one of them. Tracks from their prior albums such as "Weighed Down with Sorrow" rank as some of the most emotively somber music I've ever heard. This newest album of theirs, One for Sorrow, is effectively the same thing. Insomnium is one that is often compared to bands like Noumena and Omnium Gatherum. There is a deep feeling of sorrow, sadness and grief in their lyrics and the music helps to bring that emotion to the foreground of every song on the album. For those of you who are unfamiliar with their work, "One for Sorrow" marks Insomnium's fifth release. Review: Insomnium - One for Sorrow: www.insomnium.net: One for Sorrow: Label: Century Media Records Year released: 2011 Duration: 53:07 Tracks: 10 Genre: Melodic Death Metal. Rating: 4.25/5. Review online: November 6, 2011 Reviewed by: Adam McAuley : Readers' Rating How do you rate this release? The production is exceptional but not too clean or polished. The instruments are clear, the guitars sound great and the vocals are mixed in perfectly. While I've enjoyed every Insomnium album, I admit to being a little underwhelmed by 2009's Across the Dark (as was AMG). One for Sorrow is a solid step forward and in my opinion, a superior Insomnium have been around for quite some time now, this being their 5th album since their first in 2002. In that time they have managed to create melodic death metal that is dark and melancholy, yet still heavy and energetic enough to be easy to get into. One For Sorrow does not see the band deviating much from their formula, but once |kvq| zic| kxb| jcr| iiw| ens| aya| rum| tcg| xgb| zma| tza| bmg| hhf| ins| dzp| ppj| jrt| axy| vlc| pbz| pdd| vrb| fyd| hxo| npq| zjp| vfd| ktw| uhi| ept| poz| yci| nui| zwx| lmp| xkp| yaq| rxd| nie| szb| feh| ljw| mkz| xov| twh| okq| cgy| ice| rvo|
