Insomnium in Kotka

Insomnium are a Finnish melodic death-metal band formed in Joensuu in 1997. They are known for albums including Above the Weeping World, Shadows of the Dying Sun and Winter’s Gate, as well as songs such as “While We Sleep” and “Heart Like a Grave.” On the Winter’s Gate tour, Insomnium performed the album-length composition in full before drawing on the rest of their catalog. In 2023 they co-headlined a North American tour with Enslaved, supported by Black Anvil; a 2024 headline run through the same market paired them with Omnium Gatherum and Wilderun. Insomnium have repeatedly toured Germany and the United States on headline and package runs. Their festival history also includes Wacken Open Air and Tuska in Helsinki.
