Netherworlds is Insomnium's 10th studio album. After some experimentation with Argent Moon and Anno 1696, the Finns are back to the same old familiar sound.

1. The Cold Song- 3/5. A nice take to an already popular classical song. It serves as a mere intro.

2. Shadowlife- 3.5/5.

3. Remembrance- 5/5. Arguably the most catchiest song Insomnium has ever made. If you think Gleam In The Black and Ephemeral were catchy well then time to change your opinion! Heavy Kill switch Engage vibes in this song so this one is for the metal core fans for sure!!

4. Gleam in Black-4/5

5. The Hour Grows Late- 4.5/5 (I think I need more time with this since the rating might grow up!). Great song writing and tempo changes. Amorphis dudes did perfectly fit in this song.

6. Arch of The Sky- 4.5/5

7. Pathways of the Night- 4/5 Fast driven catchy song. Great song writing again! (Rating might go up)

8. Ethereal Sleep- 4/5. Need more time with this one overall a great song!

9. The Banished- 4.5/5. Insomnium meets some Thrash metal riffs lol. Editing: Fantastic song. Tipping it to 5/5. Wowwwwww

10. Journey's End- 4.5/5 No way did I expect Insomnium to write such a song which has some Celine Dione elements but then again, great ending to a highly enjoyable album! Edit: THIS SONG NEEDS MORE TIME! MIGHT TIP THIS TO 5/5!!!

Ville has written 5 songs which includes Remembrance. Markus has also done some fantastic song as well. Tomy's song was a banger as well. Great lyrics. This album has a high re-playablity.

Overall:9/10 (initial ratings which might end up going higher for sure)

My friend’s band Wraithstorm released their new album Revenant recently. It is legitimately one of my top melodeath albums of the year after my first listen, so I figured I’d give it a share here. I hope you enjoy too. Cheers.

Another great track ... and yeah, i know it's more symphonic black rather than death, but still has a huge melodic vibe in it!
