Another slice of Insomnium‘s tenth studio album “Netherworlds” materialized online today, September 09th. The Finnish melodic death metal vets have just issued a music video for “Arch Of The Sky” from that record. Guitarist/vocalist Ville Friman had the following to say about this track:
“‘Arch Of The Sky‘ introduces a proggier side of the Netherworlds, featuring time signature changes and Insomnium‘s trademark blend of mellow passages and heavier sections. Lyrically, the song is inspired by Sámi mythology, in which celestial hunters pursue a deer across the arch of the sky in perpetual motion. According to the legend, if the deer were ever caught, the world would come to an end as the roof of the sky collapsed.”
The below music video for it once again found the band working with director Patric Ullaeus (Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy). “Netherworlds” will be out on October 16th through Nuclear Blast. The following legs of touring will serve as the opening runs of this album cycle:
