Many of us come from different countries and cultures....and this hits us to the core. What does it mean? Regardless, of race, color or creed..........We need to slow down. Mindfulness. Thank you Insomnium for a sobering reminder.
One of the best lead-offs in melodic death metal that will ever exist I will always get goosebumps when I listen to the outro intro just every single time
I've been to 3 of their concerts and f... I must say they are on a different level, admiration at the creativity in writing lyrics and the melody is up to the sky, so grateful that I have discovered them years ago and still with them till now.
The Primeval Dark and While We Sleep are two of my favorite tracks off Shadows of the Dying Sun. They flow together so perfectly and they are truly beautiful songs.
Once a year I listen to this and to this day goosebumps every single fucking time it’s too melodic and emotional to not feel that intensity of these two songs the intro into the sweet sweet melodies of while we sleep is to perfect it’s so magnificent and beautiful as a sequence of two beautiful fusions of music
Perfect backcountry ski song... and i really do need to slow down.... and that grove I dropped into under the northern lights I just can't seem to find again
Perfect!! That is thd kind of music I needed to listen today, because I feel horrible and music is the only thing that put me out of the Chaos of my mind. Thank you so much Insomnium
@@cd_systems-u8s Yes, It's elegant and haunting at the same time. Even though it's almost more like an intro to the album it's one of my favorite Insomnium songs.
I have seen them end of last year. I have seen soooo many bands but that was the first time i finally had the chance to see them. Never would i have expected that they are now in my top 3 best concerts i have ever seen and i have seen ALOT of bands. Went with two friends who never heard them and they were awstruck aswell. So for those who haven't: SEE THEM WHEN U HAVE THE CHANCE. Don't hesitate
I just love the lyrics about how you can't look back and always be full of regret and resentment - it hits really hard - the lyrics are both so brutally blunt and direct and poetic at the same time. The lyrics in "Weather the Storm" are similar to this. Both have been like therapy to me when working and I'm feeling down on a particular day which sadly is often - I put on my headphones and soak it in and see my mood improve. Love this band.
Insomnium was the first group I went to see at a concert. And this song triggered my first moshpit. Thanks a lot Insomnium, for creating such masterpieces.
Absolutely one of my all time favourites from this band and in the whole genre. I just weep, everytime I listen to it, as it is so sweet and emotional... especially at 7:00!
Yeah, they link together inter-track so I feel like it was a proper thing to do. I actually really hate when bands decide to do that, but I forgive Insomnium for it since they're so great :v
I feel it's a love hate relationship, the intro song just makes the song following it so much better because of the build up, but then sometimes the intro song is like 30 seconds, and it would sound dumb for it to come on, only to have the song following it be something else. (if you're listening to music on random)
Rooted within the pitch-black heart Entrenched behind weary eyes In the faraway song the cold sea sung In the calm whisper of winds afar It lies, calls and awaits deep in the primeval dark Embodiment of despair that never leaves or severs the ties I would tattoo that on my back with epic font
That would be a good lyric, but the actual lyrics are pretty impactful as well. In the context of the song, the actual lyrics resonate well. The first few passages talking about what isn't there any more, regretting not making more of that time while it lasted, and with the distance between the present and the moments that are yearned for growing further with each sleep. The fleeting moments must slow down so they can continue to exist in remembrance..To catch them as if to grab hold and relive them again.. That's how I interpret it anyways, so while "cherish" would hit hard, to cherish is to hold dear, so it would suggest that the time is gone and he loves it for what it was, but is not yearning for that reconnection. I think the other lyrics would need to be a bit different to have it resonate as well. Great song and lyrics either way.
@@xenogorwraithblade2538 so my dislike for Skyrim and fake ass cucks that think Skyrim is amazing translates to a troubled childhood? God you're an idiot
I'm not even thirty yet and like ninety percent of my friend group is fucking dead. More still are on their way out. I'm not handling it well. But now, as ever before, this brings me some reprieve. Thank you, Insomnium.
This is where I had hoped Amorphis would have gone after Elegy. Almost 20 years ago. Thankfully they course corrected eventually. I will close my eyes and pretend they did.
I totally like that. I dont pay much attention to the lyrics anyway. I think this creates a very nuanced sound, when its more about the underlying tone than the lyrics.
@@Blacksoul444 Im sometimes like that too, more so when you can barely understand the vocals then it just becomes another instrument and that's not bad

A heavier motto of Jack Johnson: Slow down everyone, you're moving too fast. Time can't catch you when you're moving like that.
I love Insomnium
Thx for saying this we all need to slow down
Don’t die
Stay warm guy little brother knows
It's almost a sin not listening to them together.
Sadly not even the band play them together any more
Actually the primeval dark is a master piece alone
@@insparks782 That's unfortunate. Luckily the time I did see them they played them together.
I feel the same way about inertia through the shadows or all of winters gate.
One of the best lead-offs in melodic death metal that will ever exist I will always get goosebumps when I listen to the outro intro just every single time
If this combination of talent, power and raw emotion is not played at my funeral, I'm not going.

"It lies calls and awaits,
Deep in the Primeval Dark!
Embodiment of despair,
That leaves or serves the ties!
Rahhh!" 🤘🏻😭🤘🏻

I saw them open for Epica back in 2017 and they opened with this combo and it was amazing. I want to see them as the headline.
The Best death metal Band in my eyes. So much emotion and message in the Songs, pay attention...
The Primeval Dark and While We Sleep are two of my favorite tracks off Shadows of the Dying Sun. They flow together so perfectly and they are truly beautiful songs.
no shit they flow together lol
Ephemeral is masterpiece
"The mighty Insomnium" Indeed.
2020 just discovered this. on repeat for like 3 days now. good job!
only 3 days? :D
And it still wille be in 2021
These are two powerful songs. That bass drum pattern/guitar riff is fantastic!
I’ve just recently discovered Insomnium and I just can’t get enough of these 2 songs together!
@@TheCripptKeeper, agreed man!

The best MDM I ever heard! You do a great job guys. To the goosebumps!
The beauty of the bittersweet memories of friends and family hurts my soul but lives within me forever. We need to slow down.
One of the top 5 death metal intros in history!! Simply amazing!!
epic one, must listen everyday like a drug
True true, same thing here :3
Temo Chutkerashvili and you wake up with that 4:58 in your head
+Temo Dixon dude, same thing! i've got my playlist and ALWAYS sounds this... they're amazing!
First track on my way to work, every day.
@@cavemancyproductions Every day my walk to work and morning song
Perfect backcountry ski song... and i really do need to slow down.... and that grove I dropped into under the northern lights I just can't seem to find again
Perfect!! That is thd kind of music I needed to listen today, because I feel horrible and music is the only thing that put me out of the Chaos of my mind. Thank you so much Insomnium
2:34 - 2:51 gives me chills every time.

One of the more epic Insomnium songs. REPLAY.

I just can't stop listening to this. I think I've done so about 6 times today. I even worked on learning how to play it.
I just love how they do intro in every new album.
The "Album" of this year
Album of year always comes when Imsomnium releases album ;)
The depth and breadth of this mourning ...
Insomnium was the first group I went to see at a concert. And this song triggered my first moshpit. Thanks a lot Insomnium, for creating such masterpieces.
Absolutely one of my all time favourites from this band and in the whole genre. I just weep, everytime I listen to it, as it is so sweet and emotional... especially at 7:00!
I feel that.
Ahhh.....the perfect intensity for these times. Nice tonic. I could also use a Rammstein show right about now.
i
I was listening to this album repeatedly for a half of a year. It was epic as fuck.
Was too but then got depression (for other reasons lol) and it triggered me very much. When I finally was able to return to it I was very happy
Thanks for posting song one and two together. I have this cd, great intro to the whole thing.
Yeah, they link together inter-track so I feel like it was a proper thing to do. I actually really hate when bands decide to do that, but I forgive Insomnium for it since they're so great :v
+Nicholas Ryan I also forgive Devin Townsend for this too

(if you're listening to music on random)
They did a great job on the build up. One of the few intro songs out there that actually deserves it's place.
Rooted within the pitch-black heart
Entrenched behind weary eyes
In the faraway song the cold sea sung
In the calm whisper of winds afar
It lies, calls and awaits deep in the primeval dark
Embodiment of despair that never leaves or severs the ties
I would tattoo that on my back with epic font
I was waiting for that "I would tattoo that on my back with epic font" part xD
Here you have it xD
Do it
Isn't it supposed to be "calm and awake" instead of "calls and awaits"?
So, you did it?
For the longest time I thought it was "we need to slow down, so I can... cherish you" and I still think that hits harder but maybe that's just me.
That would be a good lyric, but the actual lyrics are pretty impactful as well. In the context of the song, the actual lyrics resonate well.

@@clayman41 Good post bro.
@@clayman41 Nice In Flames reference. 🤘
The attention to detail is staggering.
During eclipse 2024. 🤘🏾🤘🏾💥💥💥
Whenever Insomnium is playing the temperature in the room gets a few degrees colder.
Prostě super skladba pro večerní poslouchání a rozjímání....
Hammer Song!
10 yrs ago and i still love this song
It is a crime that music like this exists in the same era as plastic shit of the Biebers and the Cardi Bs.
Felemelitek a metál zenét,az érzelem ,értelem világába.Jó nagyon.Köszönöm.
Makes me sleep like a baby.
What an intro... Amazing!
I watched live 2 weeks back.... They were outstanding..seriously..no comments...🤘🤘🤘🤘
The best band of all times.Period!!!
That’s a very debatable statement bud
Love ...relax music for me..🤘🤘🤘🤘
The transition point between the 2 songs could've been edited better IMO (that 1 second of silence kinda ruins this).
Ok, this is bigger than life
This is the best thing ever
I get chills every time
HEAVENLY melodic deathmetal!!! \m/
This whole album is amazing.. kinda makes me want to play skyrim though..

Saw them last night and they played Primeval Dark first. Had to find out what it was called. Good show.
Saw them opening for Epica? That was a fantastic show! Insomnium by themselves, completely owned the stage!!!
Fuck you. Lol I want to see them soo bad.
Magestic Insomnium.......only love to the pure Legend
u guys are awesome i love you!
Група реально курта🤘🏻 дуже подобаюся Ваші треки 😍
I do that☺ almost every day!
Балдею с неё!!!
like it .. carcass are the most underrated band ever for me but this is good
Gonna see them in a couple weeks here in the states with Enslaved with my Pops. Anyone else hit up metal shows with their dad? Just wondering.
I go with my son and his girlfriend 🤷
Que hermoso tema.. lejano oscuro..!!!!
My only problem here, is there are still 53 people who gave this a thumbs down. HOW??????
Now 107 downvotes? That breaks my brain.
The soulless lurk amongst us.
truly amazing
Uuuf even in Colombia, I can understand 👂💪👾
Amazing, brilliant, freakin' awesome!
Knowing !!!....Within the light and shadows of the sun live your light ....
Lovely intro.
when you play your playlist on shuffle and another song comes out after primeval dark and it just feels off
awesome stuff ! Insomnium rules !
Who left this bowl of onions here?
Anyone 2025??
Forever tatuado en el alma con fuego solemne
Always dude ❤
This is where I had hoped Amorphis would have gone after Elegy. Almost 20 years ago. Thankfully they course corrected eventually. I will close my eyes and pretend they did.
Yo Amorphis are still fire. What are you on?
@@madhoze1549 he means the years after elegy until like 2006 when Eclipse came out it looks like
@@madhoze1549 They are amazing but far from Insomnium... way too far now. And his right, Amorphis lacked the firepower to take it to the next level.
