Artist: INSOMNIUM
Album: SINCE THE DAY IT ALL CAME DOWN VINYL (2LP)

Release date: 2004/ 2011
Media type: LP

The recording of the second album began in summer 2003. The process was somewhat painful but finally in December the new album was ready. ”Since the Day It All Came Down” continues the development that the first album began. Songs are more versatile and surprising, progressive influences are ever clearer. Some tracks may even be described as experimental. But the straightforward side of the music hasn’t gone anywhere, since catchy guitar-harmonies, crushing riffs and soothing acoustic interludes are all still there. Melodies are still the most essential element in the music of Insomnium, but this time the tunes are even more melancholic and wistful than on the debut. This is a sad and dreary album, heavier and gloomier than the first one, and undoubtedly more challenging. So when you take this path, keep in mind that it takes a while before your eyes get used to the dark…
