Insomnium-Shadows Of The Dying Sun(Japanese CD MICP-11159 2014)
A Finnish metal band described as melodic death metal? IMO I hear symphonic metal but I’m not an expert in metal genre labeling. The lyrics are buried in the mix but you do notice a slight growl even with the clean vocals which should be non offensive to classic(only) metal fans. This recording would sound great on large "symphonic" type speakers, the Magnepan 20.7 comes to mind. Overall 4/5.
