ROADIE REACTIONS | "Insomnium - While We Sleep" | [FIRST TIME EVER WATCHING]

[@chilly2go]

The amount of great metal in Finland is rediculous. Yet another band to check out myself now.

[@carlosalonso1977]

I absolutely agree with you. Finland is a machine creating metal, especially Melodic Death, probably the best, like Insomnium, Wolfheart, Mors Principium Est, BloodRed Hourglass, Mors Subita, Ensiferum, Wintersun, Whispered and many others, or bands of other styles like Nightwish or Amorphis. The list is endless

[@jyrkijarvinen1603]

Most metal bands per capita in the world! :)

[@mysticeyes_]

Let's not forget Kalmah for melodeath. And even some top notch doom metal with Swallow the sun and Trees of eternity

[@TheNismo777]

Oh its a endless rabbit hole ;) You're welcome!

[@carlosalonso1977]

@@mysticeyes_ Mygrain, Kaunis Kuolemanton, Marianas Rest, Before the Dawn, Black Sun Aeon, Dawn of Solace, Omnium Gatherum, Brymir etc... we could spend all day naming bands XD

[@mysticeyes_]

Yes!! Finally! Melodeath is God tier metal and Insomnium is God tier melodeath. These Finnish bands, man... There has to be something in the water.

[@ulozto666]

Kalmah !! :DD very different from Insomnium , but both band are TOP of metal itself! Gods of melodeath

[@mysticeyes_]

@@ulozto666 Yep! Add Be'lakor to that and that's my top 3 melodeath bands right there. They're not Finnish but they're amazing enough to qualify as a Finnish band lol

[@Marius_ae]

Marx don’t forget Omnium Gatherum!

[@TK-rs9lq]

187,888 lakes worth of sorrows and winter därkness or something, probably.

[@Kuhtimalli]

T K Darkness, lakes and sauna 😁

[@philfigari2006]

This band is criminally underrated, they should be massive. They have a golden touch when it comes to melodic, melancholy yet uplifting riffs. I'd like to recommend Anaal Nathrakh - Endarkenment. It's a bit heavier than what you usually react to, but still very melodic in parts. This is the title track to their new album which comes out this week, which looks like it will be the soundtrack to 2020.

[@Mackiiiiz]

You should react to more of Insomniums songs: Heart Like a Grave, Pale morning star and Wail of the North ;)

[@onearthonelegion]

Winter's Gate is a very good song

[@justuss_]

@@onearthonelegion I wanna see reaction to that one! Video would be 100mins long

[@carlosalonso1977]

@@onearthonelegion indeed, but it's a 42 minute song XD

[@onearthonelegion]

@@carlosalonso1977 yes, you take a bottle of good (islay) whisky, and start listening while slowly sipping the dram

[@petrie3857]

I recommend Unsung and Mute is my Sorrow.

[@Dosenpruegel]

Insomnium - THE music for autumn an beginning winter. 🥰 Just imagine yourself, sitting in front of your fireplace, looking out of the window in the rainy evening with a glas of red wine and thinking about life and death while listening insomnium. :) In case your're interested, their is a song called "Winters Gate" by them, it's 42:05 min long. It's a whole album to put it clear. ^^

[@JMJones-hb1fr]

Yeah, this is great music for sitting around a fireplace, but for me even more fitting would be Heilung for a fireplace. :D

[@Dosenpruegel]

@@JMJones-hb1fr I see your point. I think Heilung is made for summer nights, sitting in the nature, around the dying campfire. Feeling the atmosphere and force of mother earth, the trees and the winds. Imsomnium is perfect to sit inside, im front of your stack, looking in the rainy dark and cold outside. Thinking about your own and all vanitas, having a memento mori. 🤘🏻🤓

[@Xanzalur]

That is exactly my feeling towards them :) I honestly have fallen asleep before while being wrapped in a blanket on my sofa, drinking tea and listening to Insomnium. They just calm me down. Empyrium would be another one of my favorites for that kind of afternoon :)

[@TheRadiag]

Its exactly 40:00min on my album, 1 song - 1 album. Fantastic stuff. Would make for a unique reaction, although I dont think the entire thing is on youtube, would have to go on spotify for that.

[@rocioiribe5841]

Yes! I relate to this. I have certain bands/albums that i mainly listen to during fall winter. to name a few: Katatonia, Wolves in the throne room, Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper, any atmospheric black metal

[@everett880]

This song feels like a dream. And I liked how they turn something tragic like lost love into something beautiful. One of my faves in melodeath genre.

[@juliettemcgee9055]

You're reacting to the #1 song in my playlist. This song has a special place in my heart. Yesterday was my mom's 3rd year anniversary- and this was one of those songs I put on to commemorate her because it did help me cope with the loss. It still does. Tanks again (pun!). Also, this song is best experienced with its predecessor, The Primeval Dark.

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks for sharing, Juliette! I’m glad I finally got into this band. This is gonna on my playlist forever.

[@cellmetal8]

TankTheTech Adding to what Juliette said: every Insomnium album starts with a ’prolude’ song that leads into the second song (in this case Primeval dark + While we sleep). The Gale + Mortal Share is my favourite combo by far!

[@chad7431]

@@TankTheTech Dude you gotta react to One for Sorrow and Twilight Trails by them also please!!

[@paula7465]

’Heart like a grave’ from Insomnium is heartbreaking! Another band you should check out is Swallow the sun, also a melodeath band. ’Firelights’ by them is awesome !

[@bildertattoo]

Hallatar Mirrors , Dreams burn down

[@agnetalykins7564]

Swallow the Sun is probably my second favourite band. Though I'd call them Death/Doom, not melodeath. Definitely would love to see Tank react to them though

[@squeestar]

watching the videos for Heart Like a Grave and Valediction made me cry like a baby. :*(

[@JayEll1987]

Agreed, Heart like a grave is definitely one to have on this channel as well.. Has all the best elements which melodic metal song needs to have.. You have a heart of stone if that does not make you emotional.

[@des_o7935]

As a Canadian I am so jealous of the plethora of FInnsih and Swedesh metal bands. Last 2 years my eyes have been opened. This is another good band on top of Nightwish, Wintersun, Amorphis, Opeth, Katatonia, Swallow the Sun,, Soilwork, At the Gates, etc etc

[@bentesm]

Any Norwegian bands you like?

[@HattemAlHajry]

"Insomnium", the kings of Melodic Death metal. They have never released a bad album. Another band that will definitely blow your mind is "Opeth". This Swedish great band deserves love from this channel. I strongly recommend you start with the song "Ghost of Perdition" live from Red Rocks. This is an epic performance. I'd be glad to hear to your comments about the gear and live production.

[@michaeltriola3978]

Is starting an awesome metal band required before or after military service in Finland? Seriously, this country produces incredible music

[@guimich2478]

Finnish melancholy! This band is stellar! This song comes from the album Shadows of the Dying Sun. Saw them live in a small club last year they did in the first part the whole Winter's Gate album. Great bunch of guys. This will certainly be for your palet! They also did a song with Mikael Stanne of Dark Tranquillity called Weather the Storm.

[@guimich2478]

Great reaction! A new band for you! I recommend Revelations, The Killjoy, Against The Stream, Lay of the Autumn, Last Statement, The Day It all Came Down

[@yubogolfer4040]

Tank, it's so much fun to see you having fun with this. That's why I like this channel so much.

[@TankTheTech]

Thank you!

[@lassehakala968]

If someone liked insomnium and had never heard it before,there is a task for you. When you go to sleep, put their theme album "winter's gate" on and drift away. Its based on award winning novel written by their singer/bassist. Basicly one, long song.

[@DjImpossibility]

I'd wish I could listen to this song for the first time again... Such a masterpiece!

[@s1lentsymphony607]

Love the video, bud! Fun fact, these guys tour with another band called Omnium Gatherum on a VERY VERY regular basis. To the point that fans have taken to calling them Insomnium Gatherum. The vocalist for Insomnium, Niilo, is also suspected (though not confirmed) to be the vocalist for a band called Belzebubs.

[@jannepeuraniemi5053]

Belzebubs has actually some great songs as well, and the two music videos are hilarious! Tank should react to those as well, Cathedrals Of Mourning and Blackened Call

[@glassjaw210]

Markus, one of Insomnium's guitarists, also plays in Omnium Gatherum which would be why they usually tour together

[@janfredriksvensson]

Been a fan of this band for years, havent found one bad song from them. Hyped!!

[@adambates4436]

Insomnium tours the US quite a lot and with amazing lineups. Some examples: Insomnium, Lacuna Coil, and Epica, another Insomnium Alestorm, and Epica. First time live for me after the set all the members thanked the crowd and in a thick English accent said "We are poor Finish band, please buy our merch" I quickly went out and got a shirt and CD. Great band live, they have always sounded good even in crappy venues. Insomnium - The Primeval Dark, would be my next recommend, but its not as popular as some other songs, I just like it. This type of melodic metal has a specific sound that just makes me relax and feel good. Similar bands that do this for me are Agalloch, Moonsorrow, and Riverside (Technically Prog Metal, but they go heavy in some songs). Agalloch is my favorite when it comes to this chill effect, and the entire Moonsorrow album Kivenkantaja.

[@inkubuzz]

Riverside 😍

[@TheRadiag]

The Primeval Dark is kind of the intro song to While We Sleep, they should be listened to together IMO

[@Shinigami_19891]

This band has had my support since they helped me through my grandfather's passing. Was even more excited when I finally started going to concerts on a continual basis and managed to catch that tour with Epica and Lacuna Coil at the Cleveland show in the lovely Agora Theatre, and then went to their 2018 tour with Oceans of Slumber, and their only 2020 North America show with their brothers in Omnium Gatherum and Seven Spires in Philadelphia, 4 days before covid screwing everything up.. The whole band is truly appreciative for their fans, and I will support them for as long as they are together.

[@adambates4436]

@@Shinigami_19891 I agree and will also support them and see them live whenever I can. Amazing live!

[@adambates4436]

@@inkubuzz Would like to get 'Riverside - Wasteland Live' a reaction on this channel. Went to a live show when they toured the US last year, amazing show!

[@manuelluispereira1139]

If you want to check out more of them. They are doing a live stream October 11(I think) they are playing their 2019 album Heart Like A Grave. Their new guitar player Jani hes also in The Dark Element with Annette olzon(ex Nightwish). Jani.is in the band because Ville Friman cant tour as much as he'd like because of his day job at the university of York as a Evolutionary Ecologist.

[@JackM.]

Swedes have a nice roster for a few amazing melo-death bands like In Flames, Soilwork, Scar Symmetry etc. but Finns top even that. Easily!

Soilwork is def one of my faves.

Before the Dawn, the best band ever with Wintersun in my books

[@mysticsaxophone4181]

Sweden's actual death metal and black metal however is far and away superior to Finland's. Finndeath had its days in the early 90's but those days are gone.

[@ulozto666]

[@juhavaris2144]

Bloodred hourglass & Mors principium est 🙏🙏🙏2 great bands from 🇫🇮

[@MissMuuMuu]

Other people have Floorgasms, I get Insomniumgasms. Their lyrics are like poetry and their compositions and arrangements are pure art.

[@jonasskugga9990]

Finally! Nice one Tank :) Some more of them to mention are: Valediction (first video to Heart like a grave album) Heart Like A Grave Through The Shadows (old one) Twilight Trails (no musicvideo i guess but man what a great song!) Bereavement (just lyric or live videos) Cheers!

[@helenahey]

THANK YOU so much for reacting to Insomnium! 💜 This band was founded in my home town, and holds a special place in my heart for that reason as well. I can't wait for you to hear even more of their stuff! 🤘

[@olegbuldakov2489]

Great choice! I recommend to try their Pale Morning Star from the latest album cause it’s real masterpiece!

[@argieStream]

If you want to see and hear what Finland looks and sounds like, you should do Insomnium - Heart Like a Grave.

[@NixuOfTheNorth]

You'll love more of Insomnium's stuff for sure! My dad isn't a metalhead (Nightwish is an exception, fp course) but he said he liked Insomnium's song Heart Like A Grave. Helps that it was filmed in Koli National Park, which dad also loves. It's not live (and I can't look for a live version right now), but that video also shows instumens well. I saw Insomnium a year as ago with Bloodred Hourglass, which was warming up for them. Another band you HAVE to check out!

[@guillaumefournier]

Bloodred Hourglass - Waves of Black

[@KleineKassiopeia]

I'm a huge Insomnium fan and can only recommend you that genre as a whole if you like them. Especially Sweden and Finnland have great Melodic Death Metal scenes. I highly recommend Stam1na (probably a good reaction video as well), Omnium Gatherum, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Soulfallen, swallow the sun, Norther, and of course those who paved the way in the past, like Amon Amarth, Hipocrisy, Arch Enemy, older In Flames etc

[@sylwia5595]

The thing about music: You may not hear a song for many months, and then when you suddenly do, you're flooded with all you've felt when you used to listen to it. For some reason this especially hits me with this particular song. But I digress. I have an opposite problem than you: Fell into the rabbit hole of Finnish metal some time ago and couldn't get out of it, didn't make any effort to check out anything else 😂. Now at least thanks to yours and Chase's channel expanded a bit and found some other stuff 😁. Amorphis in the background at the end made me chuckle, I guess more of it coming.

[@pekkokuopanportti6859]

Their third album from 2006, Above the Weeping World, is still one of my all-time favorite Finnish metal albums, along with, I might add, the self-titled debut album of Wintersun.

[@MadCat-75]

If you like Insomnium, you may be like also Be'Lakor But here is another stlye of music: LONG DISTANCE CALLING - Immunity (Live at Wacken World Wide)

[@thapsus1]

Yet another awesome band from Finland. Nice reaction. Thank you. Let’s listen more. 😀👍

[@pasihaahkala5963]

Wolfheart - Zero Gravity would be nice! And Omnium Gatherum - The uknowing

[@Palek83]

Finnish melodeath FTW. Try Bloodred Hourglass - Waves of Black or Quiet Complaint

[@stups9975]

Insomnium is the perfect band to listen to in the fall. All their albums are great. Any song you check out will be good.

[@vagabond142]

Hey @tankthetech ... if you listen during the growling chorus, the lead guitar plays a backing harmony, and the rhythm guitar is chording off the harmony. One thing I love about Insomnium is that not only do they kick 17 forms of ass, they are also as skilled musically as many other Finnish bands.

[@linkinpark4evaaaa]

So glad that you seem to enjoy this band as much as I do!! They really got me into this whole genre, and they're just f*cking brilliant at what they do. For further songs with music videos I highly recommend reacting to Heart Like A Grave, One For Sorrow and Through The Shadows 😁

[@anttisaamanen2398]

Well worth the re-watch and re-like, one of my all-time biggest favourite bands

[@martindengler9356]

Another great reaction. Glad you got to upload it. The song is basically about how life and society keeps pushing up forward and us trying to keep up. And in this pursuit we leave things we love behind and later realize we cannot go back whats lost is lost. So "we need to slow down" so the rest can catch up. This song can hit pretty hard. I left alot behind working my ass off, reaching nothing, ending up alone. So i stopped and started visiting concerts and festivals. I lived way more in the last two years than the last 10. Thanks Insomnium. Oh btw if you dig that check out The Hunt by Wolfheart kinda goes into the same direction. And its a studio video so lots of gear to see. Stay healthy man ✌🏻

[@lordheimdallr]

Glad you liked it. Saw them two years ago on a really small festival here in Germany but even there you could see what great musicians these guys are. Please keep go on with your channel exactly this way its just great stuff \m/ greetings from Germany

[@karstenth]

Yes, yes! Finally coming to this fantastic band. Great reaction!!!

[@LeonBlackbird]

Insomnium is one of those bands that doesn't have a bad song. All of them are brilliant and beautiful, with deep lyrics and masterful melodies. And since you love knowing their gear, you should react to Heart Like A Grave.

Glad you got this video back up! Love Insomnium so much, and one hell of a band live. Time for some more of them on the channel if CM plays nice in the future with you

[@johnnylemon9610]

if you like insomnium, then you MUST check out omnium gatherum (they share a guitarist) and dark tranquility (dt's singer is a guest vocalist on one of insomnium's songs, weather the storm [great song, check that one out, too, the video is live shots]) og songs: new world shadows, frontiers (good looks at gear), be the sky dt songs: icipher, misery's crown (live shots), atoma, focus shift belakor is another melodic death metal band worth checking out.

[@TK-rs9lq]

Well, dagnabbit. Another Tank PR victory. I've known about Insomnium for years but never actually heard them and here I am, tears in my eyes.

[@aliciacarr9899]

I really enjoy these guys. I can't remember who turned me on to them, might have just been a recommended artist while listening to something else. Was really bummed because I was supposed to see them for the first time earlier this year and lockdown prevented that by less than a week!

[@jynxbmd851]

Now you're spoiling us dude hit you up with a recommendation for this band on the last video and here it is! Here for your journey. Given how much you loved Amorphis and Insomnium (two of my favourite bands ever, along with Wintersun) - get some Mors Principum Est in your life dude! Monster in me has a sick video and it's well lit so you should be able to pick out the gear to your hearts' content 🤘 Whispered - Sakura Omen is a truly epic track but lyric vid only so do yourself justice and check it on your own time if you want to keep the channel to live/studio/music vids

[@maianation]

Oh yes!! Insomnium ❤️. The last band I saw live before corona came to town.

[@drmetal-ob9vo]

Mine was Amorphis

[@kanchanamagala7361]

One word about Insomnium : POWERFUL. Seen them live twice, that was absolute madness and poetry. I've just remembered another band from the same country, with the same kinda feeling, and I'm 100% positive that you will really enjoy it. The band is called Omnium Gatherum - "The Unknowing" (music video) Enjoy man !

[@Marius_ae]

Insomnium is one of the OGs in melodeath, my personal favourite from them is Ephemeral, it is heavy and extremely emotional. Would love to see your reaction to that one!

[@hellpleasure1]

Another reaction that brings back a band into my mind --- so many out there and over time, my taste had changed --- great job once again ...

that clean tone is so wonderful in this song. i love that they stripped that back. to many metal bands are afraid to strip back and drop away from the roaring wall of sound for a moment.

[@Thnielsen85]

Never have a band made me feel so sad and happy at the same time! so powerful, dark and melancholic.. my "go to" band during autumn and winter. \m/ Fun fact. Early Insomnium have a similar guitar style and tone as oldschool In Flames.

[@TankTheTech]

I love In Flames, and have no idea how I’d never listened to Insomnium before now considering their sounds are close.

[@brianstewart4841]

Damn it Tank, you did it again, you found another one for my playlists

By the way, they are doing a livestream gig 10/10/2020 if you’re interested. Check their facebook for more info!

[@TankTheTech]

Man, I want to watch it, but don’t wanna ruin any future reactions for the channel. Maybe I just react to something from that concert. Haha

[@cellmetal8]

As Kalmah the song: Heroes to Us.

[@unholydudetx]

One of my absolute favorite bands. Every song they have is absolutely killer!

[@agnetalykins7564]

You should definitely react to Kalmah (Seventh Swamphony probably, though I personally quite like The Trapper and Hollo), Swallow the Sun (I'd listen to anything off of their latest album, When a Shadow is Forced Into the Light as it's an utter masterpiece. Though any of their earlier albums works as well),October Tide (side project of Katatonia, but imo even better. I'd listen to Twelve Days of Rain off the album Rain without End), or Æther Realm (they're from North Carolina, but have a very Finnish sound. Anything off their album Tarot works, I'd recommend Death, The Devil, The Chariot, or The Sun the Moon and the Star. Though that last one is very long, it's amazing.)

[@sandy1653]

Aside from your reactions and the actual content, one of my favorite things about this channel is the recommendations for more kickass metal to listen to.

YAY insomnium is one of my top 3 favorite bands EVER

[@Krytos911]

This song once came up in a Spotify playlist for me, loved it then - love it now. Better yet, unlike on Spotify where I missed who the band was, now I know who they are! On Spotify, it either came up from a playlist based on Ne Obliviscaris or Lantlos. I know you did my favourite NeO song (great vid btw :P ), but if you haven't heard Lantlos, they might be worth checking out. Their earlier stuff is black metal, however they released an album called Melting Sun in 2014, and its beautiful. Their lead singer left, and with that they lost the black metal vibe and replaced it with what I'd describe as "day dream metal" Really love that album, just makes me happy and at peace to listen to, I often get lost in the music. My personal favourite (though it's hard to pick) would be Jade Fields (though this is the kind of album that its worth listening to the whole thing in order if you ever get the chance)

I only got into Insomnium recently, no idea why I hadn't listened to them before but they've been in my daily rotation for a few months now. "Heart Like a Grave" is an amazing song, definitely get to that one soon! I'm thinking you'd love Skeletonwitch - Fen of Shadows so add that to your never ending list ;) Oh and a heads up, set a reminder on the Spiritbox channel, they have a remix of Holy Roller ft. Ryo from Crystal Lake going live in a couple of days!

Tank, it is a JOY to witness you also finding joy in 'our' music, be it light, dark, happy or sad. Metal brings me joy. Peace and joy. Also, I'm in my mid 60's now, and a wildland fire-faller, (we fall dead, burning and danger trees in forest fires, often on fire, in fire, severely damaged by fire, and often huge and... deadly), and songs and bands like this help me face the grim reality of what I do, if you know what I mean. Strongly suggesting another Melodeath band from Mighty Finland, Omnium Gatherum, and 'Be The Sky' from their wonderful 'The Burning Cold' album, would be a fine place to start, featuring a very tasteful use of a fretless bass. Thank-you, sir. Carry on.

Melodic death metal is my favourite subgenre of metal and bands like insomnium,dark tranquillity, hypocrisy and omnium gatherum are amazing.
