Artist: INSOMNIUM
Album: "THE CANDELIGHT YEARS (4CD BOX)"

Year: 2014
Media type: CD

Covering the halcyon years that Insomnium spent with Candlelight Records, this 4 CD collection promises to deliver all the essential content any Insomnium fan would look for. Furthermore, it would be the perfect introduction for anyone looking to broaden their heavy metal horizons.

Ranging from the epic label Debut, In The Halls Of Awaiting, to the crushing 4th release Across The Dark, this covers the entire gamut of work created under Candlelight Records - including the extremely rare and hard-to-find demo EP: Underneath The Moonlit Waves.

Packaged in a smart 4CD jewelcase, this release not only sounds great, but looks the part, too.

2014 is proving to be a spectacular year for Insomnium, enjoying an autumnal headline tour across Europe - including dates in the UK - and supported by Fleshgod Apocalypse and Stam1na isn't enough for these guys: Insomnium aren't resting on their laurels - instead they have hit the studio and begun work on a new album!

Make sure you start your collection right here with this awesome bundle of the finest melodic death metal Finland has to offer!
