THE NEW INSOMNIUM VIDEO IS AWESOME

I don’t know who directed Insomnium’s new video, “Through the Shadows,” which debuted yesterday afternoon on Metal Injection; but whomever it was, he or she deserves a big pat on the back. This could have been as boring and clichéd as metal performance videos get these days, but the way its shot and edited, it always feels appropriately GODDAMN EPIC for this band… even though huge chunks of it are tight close-ups and shots of spiders doing really not very much in particular. This is the video Insomnium, Knights of Awesome Awesomeness, totally deserve.

Insomnium’s new album, One for the Sorrow, comes out October 18 on Century. A plague on your house if you don’t get it.
