Insomnium | |
| Insomnium (Music) | comment |
Insomnium is a Finnish Melodic Death Metal band which formed in 1997. They have garnered much acclaim over the course of their active time and have become one of the more well recognized faces of modern melodeath, as well as titans of the genre in their home country. They are known for their characterized melodic death metal sound that blends doom and progressive metal to create dark, melancholic, and atmospheric songs, with themes and extremely erudite lyrics that focus on sorrow, darkness, and nature.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })They are also somewhat known for sharing one of their (three) guitarists with fellow Finnish melodic death metal band Omnium Gatherum, and tour with them frequently (if only for convenience sake). | |

Power Ballad | |
| Insomnium (Music) / int_2100e8c2 | comment |
Power Ballad: All four of the songs on the Argent Moon EP released in 2021 are all ballads or softer and slower songs as they were written during the COVID-19 Pandemic and per Niilo: "We wanted to see what kind of new music might grow in the darkness and misery of the quarantine." | |

Sophisticated as Hell | |
| Insomnium (Music) / int_2d4a6d8c | comment |
Sophisticated as Hell: A death metal band with lyrics so literary you'd think they came from a poetry book. They even have plenty of concept songs based on actual poetry. | |

Doom Metal | |
| Insomnium (Music) / int_3bc3f899 | comment |
Doom Metal: While not outright melodic doom/death in the vein of fellow countrymen Swallow The Sun, they definitely flirt with doom-y tendencies. | |

Book Ends: The opening track of Above the Weeping World, "The Gale", begins with the sound of rain. The closing track "In the Groves of Death" ends with the same sound of rain. | |

Commuting on a Bus | |
| Insomnium (Music) / int_8da65890 | comment |
Commuting on a Bus: Longtime guitarist Ville Friman works as a research associate and lecturer at the University of York and has been living in the UK since 2012 which is why his songwriting contributions on the band's studio albums has been reducing over the years. Ville's responsibilities to his day job is the reason why Jani Liimatainen joined the band in 2019. | |

Black Metal: Have historically flirted with elements of this, and Anno 1696 has particularly prominent black metal elements and borders on full melodic black metal at times. | |

One-Steve Limit: Averted twice in a row. In their original line-up, both of the guitarists were named Ville. After Ville Vänni left, his replacement was named Markus Vanhala, which is also the name of their long-time drummer Markus Hirvonen. | |
