On Thursday evening, January 16th, 2025, we were treated to an evening full of melodic death metal; a great evening. It was kind of a special evening as both Finnish melodic death metal outfit INSOMNIUM, as well as OMNIUM GATHERUM, were going to play one of their albums in full.
The American HINAYANA opened the evening; a perfect fit as they seem to blend the things that make both Finnish bands great into their songs with a little bit more doom moments of slowing down, getting us all warmed up.
The album that OMNIUM GATHERUM was playing in full was their sixth album, “Beyond.” They delivered a great performance. A lot of the instrumental parts that were played, were a definite treat for the ears. This was alternated with the strong presence of frontman Jukka Pelkonen.
INSOMNIUM played their album “Shadows of the Dying Sun” with a few fan favorites but also some songs they never played live before. And if that was not cool enough, Ville Friman joined this tour to shred on the guitar. So as a fan, this was a great evening. Check our photo gallery here…
