Insomnium Announce 2018 North American Tour Dates; Will Perform Winter’s Gate in Its Entirety at Every Show

Did you love Insomnium’s 2016 release, Winter’s Gate? Did you really love it? Did you really, really, REALLY love it? Like, would you wanna hear the band perform the entire thing live?

If you answered “yes,” then you’re in luck, friend: the band will indeed be playing Winter’s Gate live, in its entirety, on tour this spring (irony noted). Personally, I’d be 1,000% more excited to hear them play all of Since the Day It All Came Down or Above the Weeping World. Not that Winter’s Gate was bad or anything. But those albums are neo-classics in the melodeath-doom genre. Everything about them rules so fucking hard. I’m becoming aroused just thinking about them now. I think I need to listen to them, STAT.
