INSOMNIUM Descend Into Darkness With "Gleam in the Black" Video

Finland's undisputed masters of melancholy INSOMNIUM are unveiling their latest single and video "Gleam in the Black," offering an even deeper descent into darkness and the shadowy realms beyond. Blending haunting melodies with crushing heaviness, the track captures the essence of the band's signature sound while exploring the emotional depths that define their upcoming album.

Vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevänen comments, "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."

Atmospheric, powerful, and deeply evocative, "Gleam in the Black" serves as another glimpse into the album's haunting world, where beauty and despair walk hand-in-hand.

Immerse yourself in the darkness and experience the song's captivating visual counterpart, directed and produced by Patric Ullaeus of rEvolver Film Company AB, whose cinematic vision perfectly captures the track's bleak yet mesmerizing atmosphere BELOW.

"Gleam in the Black" is the second track from their upcoming album, Netherworlds, set for a release on October 16. The band previously released "Shadowlife." Watch the video here.
