The Closure
We spent end of the May on mixing the album at Fantom Studio. All in all, this phase went quite smoothly and we did not encounter any bigger problems. Samu set the basic sounds alone in the morning after we listened the songs and gave our opinions concerning the balance and sound levels. I think we used approximately two weeks for the mix this time and it turned out to be quite exact approximation of time we needed. We also shoot some nice promo pictures in a nearby swamp with Terhi Ylimäinen (http://www.feelthedarkness.com/) during one weekend of the mix.
Mastering was again done in the famous Finnvox studios at Helsinki with Minerva Pappi. We used basically one day for the job after Minerva did some small adjustments. We also used some time to shoot some interviews for the limited edition of the Across the Dark with our dear friend Harri Pikka from Omnium Gatherum (http://www.omniumgatherum.org/) during the mastering session. Effective use of time, indeed. All in all, everything went smoothly and we are really happy with the ending result!
Now that Wille Naukkarinen (http://www.ghostbrigade.net/hollowman/) have just finished the cover art and everything else seems to be also in order all I can say is that we feel very, very relieved! Making this album was again one hell of a job. However, we feel very confident that this is really exceptional piece of music and are really looking forward to releasing to hands of fans worldwide. The album will be stores in the beginning of the September after we will start touring first Finland and then hopefully rest of the Europe. We also hope that we can make it to USA again. In the meanwhile check some samples from new Insomnium e-card HERE!

I am so glad to hear this. From the sample I can not get a very good idea of the album just cause of how different it is from the rest of your guy's work. It is very good though! My hopes are high and I bet they will be surpasses. I hope you can make it to the states to around Pennsylvania!
Good luck to you all and have a blast on tour!

Come to Mexico City!!!
Listening to the new material has made me one incredibly happy fan. September can't come too soon but I'm confident the wait, as it has been so far, will be worth it. The US happily waits.
I loved your sample different from the other albums, but that insomnium it's different than other metal and it still kick some ass.
I really hope you guys come to the USA, Los Angeles or Las Vegas any of those two location and count me in.
I'm glad to hear that you guys are done with the album! September seems so far right now!! Just wanted to let you know that I am grateful for the music you give us. I loved the sample, while it was different from your earlier stuff, it still can feel all the emotion I loved to hear from Insomnium!
Hope you guys can make it in Canada, around Ottawa, Montreal, or Quebec!!
Love the sounds, guys. The new album has the potential to be the ultimate highlight of 2009 in music.
September it is, perfect in time for the somber autumn mood. Can't wait.
Cheers.
Come to Birmingham, UK. I'll definitely be there to see you guys.
Come to Moscow! We want to hear you in live!
Like I've stated before, everything sounds just awesome. Guitar tones are so incredibly rich and creamy, sound mix and individual instrument tone/EQ sounds very balanced and even. Great work with reverbs and such to give the songs a sense of depth and density.
Thanks for this guys, really. You will make me a very happy person come September. :)
Thank you so much for the samples guys. Needless to say that judging by the samples, the new album will be incredible!
Waiting anxiously to pre-order "Across the Dark, and still hoping to see you live someday here in Portugal!
Best wishes,
Rafael Sousa
