INSOMNIUM: Reveal Winter's Gate cover artwork
June 18, 2016
Finnish melodic deathsters INSOMNIUM have now revealed the cover artwork for their upcoming album, Winter's Gate!
It's a concept album made up of one epic 40 minute song. The album is built around a short story, Winter's Gate (Talven portti in Finnish), written by vocalist & bassist Niilo Sevänen, recipient of numerous Finnish awards and nominations. The compelling short story is about a group of Vikings who set out to find a fabled island west of Ireland, despite the treacherous winter drawing near. The full story will be released together with the album as a book with translations in English, Finnish and German, and illustrated by the artist Teemu Tähkänen.
The album is currently being mixed by Dan Swanö at Unisound AB studio in Sweden and will be out worldwide through Century Media Records on September 23rd 2016. Upcoming tour dates for autumn and winter will be announced soon!
