Weighed Down With Sorrow (05:52) At the end of winter 1997 in the quiet town of Joensuu severokarelskom four guys organized metallic team. Niilo guys named Sevan (bass), Tapani Pesonen (drums), Ville Friman (guitar) and Markus Hirvonen (guitar). Mash execution covers "Amorphis", "Entombed", "Paradise Lost" and "Sepultura", the group moved to their own compositions, fast and melodic, but brutal enough at first. Suitable vocalist around found it was not possible, therefore, for the microphone eventually took Niilo. From that moment the sound team became darker, and the team headed for the typical Scandinavian death metal. Summer of 1998, Tapani went into the army, and it was the beginning of the reshuffle. Marcus immediately moved for drums and new guitarist Timo Partanen became. Simultaneously hitherto nameless group was called "Insomnium", which translated from Latin means nightmare and insomnia. Rehearsals are now become more focused, and in the spring of 1999, the band produced the first demo CD. melancholic death metal sound on the disc, like the metal community, and the magazine "Terrorizer" awarded the title of the work of the Finnish "demo of the month".

However, the complete stagnation can not speak as Niilo and Ville continued to engage in writing material. In August 2000 the guys gathered in the studio "East Voice" and recorded their second demo, "Underneath the Moonlit Waves". This time the song sounded even harder, but at the same time sound prodyus rose to the occasion, and the work is not only caused a laudatory responses worldwide, but also led to a contract with the British label "Candlelight Records". Composition "Insomnium" at that time was as follows: Ville Friman (guitar), Markus Hirvonen (drums), Niilo Sevan (vocals, bass) and Ville Vanni ( guitar). In April of 2002, their debut album, "In the Halls of Awaiting". With this work, the team managed to stand out from the large crowd of Scandinavian metalworkers that brings to his compositions progressive elements. After receiving approval from the audience, the band continued research in this area and in 2004 released his second album, "Since the Day It All Came Down". Teetering on the brink of death metal and melodic prog band made ​​a new record more melancholic and wistful. After the release of the team toured Europe, appearing with "Enslaved", "Zyklon", "1349", "Satyricon" and other brutalschikami. autumn of 2006, came third Full Movies by which team has made ​​a major breakthrough.
