Insomnium’s ninth studio album , Anno 1696 , has finally been made available to the band’s fans. The album, released through Century Media, is a themed album based on a short story by the band’s bass singer Niilo Sevänen, whose dark stories take the listener to the time of witch hunts.

The album released today will be celebrated at a sold-out Tavastia for two days straight. In addition, today the band releases a music video for their song “Godforsaken” produced by Riivata Visuals. The premiere can be viewed on Century Media’s YouTube channel at 19:00 Finnish time. The song, which presents the more epic side of the album, also features Johanna Kurkela’s vocals.
