Death Metal
"Change, as they say, is the one universal constant. But that doesn’t mean that change is always good. Or, at least, it’s not always perceived (or received) that way.
"Music, essentially, is a weapon to destroy the walls we built around us – and Finnish metal melancholists INSOMNIUM are amongst its strongest wielders.
"Founded by vocalist Jake E (ex-Amaranthe) and guitarist Jesper Strömblad (ex-In Flames), Cyhra has gone from being reminiscent of the duo's former bands to having an identity all it's own.
"SCAR SYMMETRY made one of the best records of their career with The Singularity (Phase I – Neohumanity). The 2014 release was a science fiction concept album based around transhumanism and was as catchy as it was elaborate.
‘Exul’ personifies Ne Obliviscaris’ distinctive, boundary-pushing ethos. The band’s trademark blend of emotion and beauty is as towering as ever, if not even more compelling, particularly how the haunting violin lines carefully weave their way around the riffs.

"Finland has always been home to some of the best melodic death metal bands around (such as Children of Bodom, Omnium Gatherum, Amorphis, and Ensiferum). Of course, gloomy quintet Insomnium are up there, too.
"With At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity and Arch Enemy still releasing sterling albums, plus the upcoming box office bout between In Flames and The Halo Effect, Swedish melodic death metal has found itself at its most high profile for years.
"Arch Enemy have always been reliable, every few years dropping a solid collection of catchy, chunky melodic death with at least a handful of real bangers to chew on.
"Death: Non Analog - On Stage Series - Belgium 12-23-1991 captures the band during the Inhuman Tour of the World!
