Finnish death metal titans Insomnium are bringing their haunting melodies and crushing riffs to Australia this May.
The tour marks the band’s first trip to our shores since 2017, with the melodic death metal purveyors touring in support of their 2023 album, Anno 1696.
Insomnium aren’t coming alone, bringing fellow countrymen and death metal prog rockers Omnium Gatherum along on tour.
The first show of the tour takes place at The Triffid in Brisbane on Tuesday, May 6 before Insomnium performs at The Baso in Canberra (Wednesday, May 7), the Metro Theatre in Sydney (Friday, May 9) and The Croxton in Melbourne (Saturday, May 10), bringing the short tour to an end at Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide on Sunday, May 11.

Formed in 1997, Insomnium are one of the leading lights of the Finnish black metal scene. Across a career spanning almost three decades, the band has released nine studio albums, with the last three – Winter’s Gate, Heart Like a Grave and Anno 1696 – hitting the number one spot on the Finnish Album Chart.
Anno 1696 is arguably Insomnium's most accomplished release yet, with Metal Injection calling it a “highpoint of modern Finnish melodic death metal as a whole.”
Catch Insomnium at Lion Arts Factory on Sunday, May 10. For full ticketing information visit Moshtix.
