INSOMNIUM - Winter's Gate (LP+CD) (LP/CD)

Finnish melodic deathsters INSOMNIUM have been forging a very special release during the last months. "Winter's Gate" is a concept album that is made of one epic 40 minute song. The album is built around a short story "Winter's Gate" (Talven portti in Finnish) by vocalist & bassist Niilo Sev?nen, which won awards and nominations in Finland back in 2007 and 2008. It's a story about a group of Vikings who set out to find a fabled island west from Ireland, even though the winter is drawing near. The full story is released together with the album as a book that has the tale in English, Finnish and German - illustrated by the artist Teemu T?hk?nen.
