Insomnium release new music video for ‘White Christ’

INSOMNIUM have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track White Christ, is taken from the Finnish melodic death metal band’s upcoming new album, Anno 1696, which is scheduled to be released in February next year.

The new song features a guest appearance from Sakis Tolis of ROTTING CHRIST and its accompanying music video was directed by Riivata Visuals.

Watch the official music video for White Christ here: 

The upcoming album is a concept album based on a short story by bassist/vocalist Niilo Sevänen, woven with sorrow and the last crumbling vestiges of hope, plus wrath and morbid lullabies. Welcome to 1696. Welcome to hell. This is an age of unrest. The age of great famine in the North. The witch hunt is in full swing all across Europe and the gruesome witch trials have even reached the remote and majestic landscapes of Finland and Sweden.

“The Torsåker witch trials were a horrible source of nightmarish inspiration,” Sevänen says of his ghastly muse. “All that talk about 70 women beheaded in this small Swedish parish? It’s real stuff from history! And as if that weren’t enough, there are also some very dark tales of cannibalism and child murder from the years of the great famine.”

Anno 1696 is set for release on February 24th via Century Media Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
