Insomnium release new music video for ‘Valediction’

INSOMNIUM have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Valediction, is taken from the Finnish melodic death metallers’ upcoming new album Heart Like A Grave which is scheduled to be released in October this year.

The impressive video was shot by Vesa Ranta and Aapo Lahtela at Kaira Films, who shot two videos in the same session with the band in the beginning of summer. These two videos are bound together, so they form one longer story.

Speaking about the new music video, the band says, “when the album theme is to dive deep into the black waters of Finnish melancholy, then Vesa Ranta is truly the right man to visualize the story. Album booklet is crafted from Vesa’s epic landscape photos and these same themes continue in the two videos that we shot at Koli national park. Woods and lakes, sorrow and longing. That’s the heart of INSOMNIUM.” Video directors Ranta and Lahtela adds, “INSOMNIUM is one of those bands that have been inspiring us. We have wanted to work with them for long time. Valediction is the beginning that sets the mood and presents the characters. The story will unfold in the next music video that will be released later. And as the album theme demands this tale here is grim indeed.”

Heart Like A Grave is set for release on October 4th via Century Media Records.
