Joensuu, Finland-based melodic death metal band Insomnium issued four-song EP Argent Moon<\/em> on September 17th, 2021 through Century Media Records.<\/p>\n

Sev\u00e4nen commented: \u201cWhen the Corona outbreak forced us to cancel all the tours and shows, we pretty soon adopted a mindset that we better do something and keep ourselves in motion. We wanted to try how the streaming shows might work. We wanted to see what kind of new music might grow in the darkness and misery of the quarantine. And soon these vibes were channeled into songs that came to be the Argent Moon<\/em> EP.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to try something a bit different so all the four songs on this release represent the softer side of Insomnium. The ballads and the mellow tunes. Acoustic guitars and clean vocals. The sorrow and agony that creeps into your heart when the nights grow longer. But fear not, we haven\u2019t changed our style. Next album will be something different again. We used all the ballad ideas here so maybe it will be pure blast beats. We shall see.\u201d<\/p>\n
