Insomnium‘s tenth studio outing, “Netherworlds“, has been set for an October 16th release date through Nuclear Blast. The Finnish melodic death metal outfit have newly begun streaming the track “Gleam In The Black” from it below, complementing it with a Patric Ullaeus (Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy) directed music video.
Vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevänen had some thoughts to share on this new single, stating:
“Being one of the faster songs on the new album, this is a track that should get the crowd moving when played live. It definitely carries a classic Insomnium spirit. The lyrics tell a dark and mysterious love story, capturing the mood and atmosphere of the entire album. We are doomed to wander the nightly woods, searching for something lost long ago, something we can reach only in our dreams. That single gleam of light amidst the blackness.”

01 – “The Cold Song“
