Howdy folks! Some of you might have waited in vain for the last chapters of our tour adventure. For that we apologize. We can blame the poor internet connections in the venues but the truth is that we are lazy bastards. After Graz the tour continued in a successful way. Shows were great, we met a lot of fans and had a few beers here and there. And some wine. And vodka. Drinks. The basic story. So huge thanks to all who came to see the shows! And special thanks to DT and crew! It was a blast!

After the tour we haven’t just rested on our laurels. We’ve actually been pretty busy writing new material for the next album. Schedule is tight but the plan is to record the album during the spring and release it in the autumn. And then of course it’s time to tour again. Let’s see.

Last week we had the first rehearsals in a long time and we played some new material together. At the moment we can say that we have 4 songs pretty much ready. A lot of work still to be done but at the moment it sounds very good. Some really epic stuff coming and also something really furious and raw. Familiar Insomnium traits are there of course but there is also something we haven’t done before. Fear not, it’s not acid jazz or techno, but something utterly sad, gloomy and depressing. Just the way we like it.

We’ll be updating this blog during the spring. If you are interested in seeing how the album evolves, stay tuned!
