Nothing to disagree with as soon as the you hear balanced and yet exciting riffs that built tension. I found it very interesting how calm they bring it, but yet have such an impact. It is not domination but leading you to the point where vocalist Niilo Sev\u00e4nen comes in. Rough, but perfectly matching the music. Also, a point to mention is the backing vocals who are not too mellow. Still enough power to diss commercialism. Drummer Markus Hirvonen finishes the sound with drumming not too dominating but keep it as a support of the music rather than driving it. Insomnium has melancholic doom elements in their line of inspiration which you hear when listening the album.<\/p>\n<p>Compared their earlier albums the world has not changed too much in the eyes of Insomnium. The band stayed true to their concept and so the fans who adore their previously released work don\u2019t have to think twice to buy the album. As the level of sound is improved and the production of this album is even better than \u201cAbove The Weeping World\u201d it is no doubt to assume the band will gather even more audience to their fan base. The album is a solid release and surely tops my yearlist for now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Line Up:<\/strong><br \/>\nNiilo Sev\u00e4nen &#8211; Vocals, Bass<br \/>\nVille Friman &#8211; Guitar<br \/>\nVille V\u00e4nni &#8211; Guitar<br \/>\nMarkus Hirvonen &#8211; Drums<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/__8u8tcfIT5w\/SnFRUqkMicI\/AAAAAAAAAY4\/m7Wd3JPstZw\/s320\/INSOMNIUM+-+Across+The+Dark+(2009).jpg\" height=\"300\" \/><\/td>\n<td><strong>Tracklist: <\/strong><br \/>\n1.
