ROADIE REACTIONS | Insomnium - "The Wanderer"

[@Dosenpruegel]

It's september, it's fall - it's Insomnim time. Grab your glas of wine, take a seat in the front of a fireplace / campfire, look out in the beginning night, the sorrounding nature, the sky and think about your memento mori, vulnerability and beauty in the sorrow... 'One life, one chance, all ephemeral' (btw. one of the most moving and yet one of the most 'punchy' Insomnium songs of all time = Ephemeral).

[@rocioiribe5841]

Yesss that's when i bust out what i call my Winter Sadness and Introspective Agony playlists.

[@zerocool51]

You should try Pale Morning Star by them. A 9 minute journey from beautiful to hopeful through sad, an emotional rollercoaster.

[@Xebtria]

If Winter's Gate is not one of the two albums you have listend to so far, you should really do. it's basically a single song split into 7 parts I think. They labelled it as a "concept album" at the time, and it is a blast to listen to.

[@yayamii]

Absolutely amazing album/song! My favourite from them.

[@aidanpapps2478]

Probably my favourite album ever

[@yayamii]

@@aidanpapps2478 ...one of mine for sure too! But I have too many favourite bands and they all have great albums! Too many different styles that I'm impressed: My personal No1 will be (most probably) Pink Floyd's "The wall"...

[@starsword-c2534]

I was just about to post about this, this reminds me heavily of Winter's Gate.

[@GRIMMGent]

The song is not really split in 7 parts, though. It's 1 big track telling the story of Winter's Gate. Streaming services like Spotify just couldn't handle the epicness of that over 40 min track and they were forced to somehow split it up still.

[@d.k.9431]

I saw them live while they were on tour for „Heart like a grave“. It was without a doubt the best live show I have ever seen.

[@iirol6343]

One for sorrow, the most beautifull melodeath song ever written

[@Xebtria]

Ephermeral wants to have a word with you.

[@mikewolfe4428]

Correct.

[@maggaw9869]

One of my favorite underrated band of all time. POETS OF THE FALL. Angel. Alexander Theatre Sessions live in Helsinki Finland. Marko Saaresto magical voice.

[@helky8]

Omg, yes! Marko has so beautiful voice 😍

[@mikkomammela7961]

Most underrated band of all time is diablo.

[@Cyriax71]

Tank, I just want to thank you for introducing me to so much new music. I have really been diving into metal lately and that is mostly due to your channel. So many awesome bands I would not have heard of otherwise. Favorites so far are Orbit Culture (Shaman EP just released and it is AWESOME!), Imminence, Be’lakor, and Beyond Creation. Thank you for shining a spotlight on these bands and for sharing your love of this genre. Your obvious enjoyment of this genre of music is infectious.

[@TankTheTech]

That is so awesome to hear. I love that this channel has became a way for not only myself, but other people to all discover new music with each other.

[@maggaw9869]

Tank The Tech. BATTLE BEAST. NOORA LOUHIMO Live from Finland.

[@helky8]

Noora is amazing! Also loving Noora and Elize together; Strong! 👍🔥

[@juanselainez9828]

You really got to be in a mood for Insomnium, all you need is a beer! Brutally good!

[@pasiikola9860]

It, some parts souds like Sentenced and some parts early Amorphis.

[@MarioMinware666]

Amazing, Insomnium never disappoints!

[@chaosultimamage]

Insomnium has always been beautiful. You should really do a throwback to "The Day It All Came Down" - or if you've never really listened to the full album, definitely do that (even just on your own, regardless of youtube / streams) 'Since the Day it All Came Down' is one of my favorite albums ever.

[@ludvigenholm7168]

Who knew, a Melo Death "Ballad". Love the orchestration in this song. The song is awesome! Another thing you might have missed too are BRHG's songs from their upcoming album (release 22nd of October) Your Highness. Veritas is such a good track.🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@damiengrief]

Insomnium is so damn good. Love the new EP.

[@jylauril]

Channels that I like and want to support with my limited budget I press like before watching the video and sometimes I don't even have intention to watch the video immediately(or at all) but maybe some days later. If the video isn't good in my opinion after watching I still left the like there and only remove it if the video is unbeliavable bad. Oh yeah and tip for some people if you have subscribed and "miss" some videos remember to press "alarm" button and change it to "all" that way you get notifications from all videos on that channel. I think just subscribing defaults notifications to "personalized" and to be honest I don't know how algorithm suggest videos if "personalized" is selection

[@billtbodger]

That has to be my favourite song from Insomnium, it is beautiful, the video draws you in with a lot of focus on nature and Norse imagary, I am now going to have to buy yet more music, oh the hardship LOL Big love Tank and family

[@danielslothrathje]

Wolfheart the Hunt !!!!!!! Epic music and lots of gear in vid

[@2112Fade2Black]

Great reaction. Really like all the 4 songs on the EP.......

[@Arzie81]

One could say a middle work, or corona time work, and it is still brilliant even in Insomnium standards. They said that they poured their ballad well into this EP, and going back into their normal recipe on next album promised for next year: chaos and brutality and melancholy and mellow sadness mixed together. And there's no better way to wait for that in dark cold autumn than going through this EP.

[@GRIMMGent]

Yeah, Markus told us that it might go somewhat in the direction of Winter's Gate soundwise!

[@Stephyvalhalla]

Love insomnium. Weather the storm is a good song

[@senditkevin]

Again, I'm going to be persistent in mentioning Seven Spires - Gods Of Debauchery. Just watched, awesome ballad, sounds great. Need to listen to more of them, I think this is only the second song I've heard from them via your channel.

[@Countezz]

They are awesome and i listen everyday.They are in my loop atm :)

[@johnnylemon9610]

she wandered onto the set while they were filming, and they just kinda went with it.

[@TankTheTech]

Hahahahahahaha

[@neecedarquewulf]

Ville directed it explains everything. Definitely the same place as Life Sonata Arctica. I think the forest behind them was used for Elan Nightwish. Ville captures Finland so beautifully it makes you want to go there. Yes people I love Jani and Sonata Arctica insanity 🙄 Tank if you want to see Jani explain his songwriting, Behind The Album The Dark Element and you'll see the goddess Anette Olzon. I love Jani's honesty. I think its a Finnish thing. Tony Kakko is blunt as hell so is Marko. Love this song and video.

[@helky8]

Love Jani ❤️ so happy he is in Insomnium now! Also love Tony's voice ❤️ just don't like their music that much... 🤔

[@NevronixS]

Beginning had me nostalgic for Tristram and the ramblings of Deckard Cain. Just a drive-by nerd reference.

[@Eluarelon]

hehe, I'm just on my way to rescue him. ^^

[@dennisrubio2375]

Long live Rock and Roll 🤘

[@1978carpenter]

Something new dude: "DAWN OF SOLACE, the solo-project by WOLFHEART's Tuomas Saukkonen, is gearing up for the release of his third studio album, entitled "Flames of Perdition". Out on November 12th via Noble Demon, "Flames of Perdition" picks up where its predecessor left off, creating a world full of electrifying melancholy that evokes profound sadness. After pleasing fans with a first single recently ("White Noise"), DAWN OF SOLACE is proud to present the second single, "Skyline" today." Check it out man. Beautiful song by an amazing musician.

[@ThaVinci]

Beaufiful song, it really reminded me of Paradise Lost

[@stups9975]

It’s so hard to pick a favorite melodeath band .. I mean I have several bands that I love. But these guys have consistently been at top heap. I like how they experiment with their sound and want to push their boundaries. This song is great the EP is great and I just can’t wait for more from them. 🤟🏻

[@vikviking4755]

Would love to see some In Mourning.

[@lisalalonde7051]

Really enjoyed that song. Gonna check out some more songs From Insomnium for sure. And just as a side note: as someone who has done Gymnastics, you have to be hella fit and focused to pull of the moves that actor in the video was doing. I agree, Would not be surprised at all if it turns out she is a professional athlete.

Talked about that at the end. She is. She's even a champion in Europe.

[@loganpoe1257]

Hey, Rivers of Nihil came out with a new album, and The Void from Which No Sound Escapes is begging for a reaction!

I still would love to see you reacting (or analyzing) some of the Steve'n'Seagull's stuff. Cover of Master Of Puppets or Sleeping Sun with Tarja Turunen.

[@TankTheTech]

Did Sleeping Sun on Twitch. It's on my second KZbin channel.

[@DarkTyrant15]

Tank your spoiling me brotha! Insom, Omnium, and Belakor.....Home runs brother keep it up. OG dropped a new single (Reckoning) 2 days ago. if ya havent heard some Wolfheart thats another great band to backtrack as well .....Try out Ashes from the Wolves of Karelia album. They also had a EP released back in March "Skull Soldiers" and the song "Skull Soldiers" is quite nice as well. Keep killin it brotha.

[@jasonkelley6]

Ocean Sleeper - Forever Sinking

[@gandyhyoga6942]

A song called "The Wanderer" and Amorphis as a background music (even if it's "The Bee", "The Wanderer is one of their best songs ever). Nice done (if on purpose, if not...well done anyways! :D )!!

[@C0necat]

I'm happy now :)

[@ryukenjitsu]

Not sure if you've reacted to, or heard of Kalmah, but they are amazing! Also from Finland. "Heroes to us" is a great song to check out

[@TheMaddini]

please do some of the old in flames songs, for example square nothing, behind space etc.

Insomnium again! YESS! Did you guys work out the censorship problem you mentioned some months earlier? Btw just got this on vinyl on last Tuesday, and it sounds awesome! And all the songs are such emotional and meaningful ballads, Insomnium never ceases to impress.

[@marcuszaja6589]

Insomnium, you just can't go wrong with this band. What an awesome song. This is one of the bands that touches my metal heart. Finnish Melo-Death is so unique. Always a slight (and not negative) melancholy which takes me to my happy place. Have a good time listening their other albums, can't remember one bad song from them. Maybe you could go east next time - far east ... - Enishi (Girugämesh) kzbin.info/www/bejne/ammQpWyKqq1kaqs Enjoy :o)!

[@brianalberico9171]

I listen to a lot of music that sounds like that growling part later in the song. I think Swallow the Sun might be one. Some Draconian stuff, Trees of Eternity. I think those would be in the Doom metal realm, but I don't really know or care. It's really good bad mood music. Brothers of Metal released a video for my favorite song of theirs today. If you get a chance please check it out.

In my opinion Insomnium is very hard to react just one song. I believe the albums should listen as a whole. Just try Winter's Gate. One of my favourite bands along with Orbit Culture

[@darkfrozenwinterstar3639]

@@TankTheTech Seems that you have a natural flair for that :D Awesome reaction btw! Since Autumn and its moody, melancholic nature is taking place now, I highly recommend to check out the (also finnish) band „Ghost Brigade“, usually people start with the song „Clawmaster“, „Aurora“ also a nice option. Officially, they were (they split up sadly) labeled as Prog-Death-Metal, but I think they’re aren’t that far different from the nostalgic, wistful and yet beautiful feeling Insomnium gives us. There won’t be a lot of people who know them and recommend them to you, and that’s a shame. They’re great but criminally overseen. Much love from Germany, your videos are the best in the game, Cheers!
