Insomnium releases new music video featuring Amorphis members

Finnish melodic death metal band Insomnium has released a new music video for the track ‘The Hour Grows Late’, coinciding with the launch of their new album, Netherworlds.

The song features guest appearances from members of the band Amorphis, including vocalist Tomi Joutsen, vocalist/guitarist Tomi Koivusaari, and keyboardist Santeri Kallio. Insomnium guitarist Markus Vanhala described the track as an epic, progressive piece that pays respect to those who have passed away. The album Netherworlds explores themes of loss, aging, and mortality.

Directed by Jari Heino, the music video incorporates Finnish and Karelian folklore through the use of white ribbons, representing Karsikko—sacred memorial trees that serve as symbolic boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead.
