FROM INSOMNIUM: 

 

“Shadowlife” marks the first glimpse of our forthcoming album that will be out in October.

On the new single, crushing weight meets delicate vulnerability, and darkness and light are woven together. The song is produced by Miiro Varjus & Insomnium, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios.

Check out the video by Coldstore Productions offering a captivating first glimpse into the Netherworlds: https://youtu.be/i5tMCCXKkD0

Niilo Sevänen comments: “As a story, ‘Shadowlife’ can be seen as a thematic gateway to the entire record - an elegy not only for a lost beloved, but also for the fading belief that anything beautiful can remain untouched by time. It is a realization that love, youth, summer, and warmth cannot be preserved forever. Thus, we are left suspended between longing and acceptance, lingering in the liminal spaces of sleep, shadow, and night.”

Markus Vanhala adds: “‘Shadowlife’ opens the dreamy next chapter of INSOMNIUM with a certain self-aware catchiness. I set out to write an obvious hit—perhaps even a so-called banger—to kick things off, but don’t worry: the deeper cuts will follow. Album No. 10 is truly a defining milestone for us, so we wanted to honor our history while also introducing some new nuances. Living on the edge.”

More info on the album & pre-order will follow soon.

FROM IGNEA: 

 "Dreams of Lands Unseen", the first single from our upcoming album Monumental, drops June 24th

NEW ALBUM "MONUMENTAL" DROPS OCTOBER 23, 2026, VIA NAPALM RECORDS

Back in the 17th century, nostalgia was considered a deadly disease — and in many ways, it still is. There is hardly a soul on earth who hasn't felt it — it's woven into the fabric of being human. And yet, as natural as it feels, this emotion is far more layered and complex than it first appears.

Nostalgia can bring back the most beautiful memories, only to darken them with the awareness that those moments will never come again. On “Monumental”, we'll take you on nostalgic rides, with all their ups and downs, expressed through music and lyrics that carry a bittersweet sense of gentle sadness and longing.

Much of this album was inspired by modernist architecture — concrete giants built to signal progress and a brighter future, now slowly decaying. They've become a sort of memory box: monuments to unrealized dreams, where the future that was once imagined never arrived, yet continues to echo through the ruins and bright mosaics.

Tracklisting:

1. Darkness

2. Dreams of Lands Unseen

3. Presence of the Past

4. Prefab (feat. Combichrist)

5. What Buildings Dream of

6. I Am in Hell

7. Between No Longer and Not Yet

8. Harmony Manufactured (feat. Hiraes)

9. Nadir

Mixing & Mastering: Jacob Hansen | Cover Art: Lame Perfect

Monumental is out October 23, 2026 via Napalm Records.
