Insomnium is a Finnish melodic daith metal baund frae Joensuu, Finland. They are influenced bi doom metal, playin sangs aboot sorrow, daith, loss, an mournin. They also incorporate elements o nordic / norse fowk muisic an symphonic muisic intae their soond. Their name refers tae a category o nightmares/visions in Medieval Europe.

Insomnium hae steadily evolvit their style o muisic. Their melodies are hichtlie melancholic, an their oweraw soond is much daurker. The baund's leerics tend tae be influenced (an occasionally taken) frae classic poets like Friedrich Hölderlin, Edgar Allan Poe, Finnish classic Eino Leino an ither literatur.
