Insomnium reveal Winter’s Gate artwork
Finnish melodic death band INSOMNIUM have just revealed the artwork for their upcoming album, Winter’s Gate, which is set for release on September 23 via Century Media Records.
Winter’s Gate is a concept album is incredibly made up of one, yes one! 40 minute long song.
The album is built around a short story Winter’s Gate (Talven portti in Finnish) by vocalist & bassist Niilo Sevänen, which won awards and nominations in Finland in 2007 and 2008. The story is ultimately about a group of Vikings who set out to find a fabled island west from Ireland, even though the winter is drawing closer.
The full story will be released with the album as a book that has the tale in English, Finnish and German – the book will be illustrated by the artist Teemu Tähkänen.
Winter’s Gate is currently being mixed by Dan Swanö at Unisound AB studio in Sweden.
During the summer, fans can catch INSOMNIUM live at a number of festivals – see dates below.
