國籍:芬蘭
組建時間:1997
Insomnium[失眠]樂隊是在1997年寒冷的春天成立的。在芬蘭最東部的壹個寧靜小鎮Joensuu,四個年青人成立了壹支玩重型金屬的樂隊。壹開始,樂隊已經明確了他們的音樂風格,殘忍而不失旋律。他們將自己喜歡的樂隊的各種元素融合成自己樂隊的獨特風格,結果是旋律性很強的 Scandinavian Metal搭配傳統的芬蘭民謠曲調。歌詞大部分取材自芬蘭民間傳說中隨處可見的,關於愛情和死亡的悲傷故事。
經過兩年高強度的練習,Insomnium制作了他們的第壹張Demo,這張Demo得到金屬樂界樂評人和樂迷的贊許。第二張Demo在第二年發表,這次得到更大範圍的關註,引起壹些唱片公司對樂隊的興趣。2001年樂隊的陣容是,吉他手Ville Friman,鼓手Markus Hirvonen,主唱/貝斯Niilo Sev?nen,很快樂隊再招攬了吉他手Ville V?nni。這時候,Insomnium比以前更加強大。01年春天,樂隊和Candlelight Records簽約,第壹張專輯的錄制在夏天開始。
第壹張專輯《In the Halls of Awaiting》在02年4月發行。專輯和前兩張demo相比,樂隊技術明顯進步了,Scandinavian Metal依然是Insomnium音樂風格的核心,同時更多的其他音樂元素湧現出來。音樂的編排變得更加細膩和有深度,融入更多前衛搖滾的技巧,樂隊也逐漸偏離Melodic Death Metal的主流群體。專輯獲得全世界,尤其是德國、芬蘭還有北美等地方的音樂雜誌的高度評價。第二張專輯的錄制於03年夏天開始。錄制過程極其艱辛痛苦,專輯終於在12月錄制成功。新專輯《Since the Day It All Came Down》延續第壹張專輯的步伐,音樂越發細膩和令人驚喜,前衛搖滾的影響也越來越明顯,某些曲目更加是實驗性十足。簡單易記的吉他和聲,重型的吉他 riff還有舒服的木吉他,Melodic Death Metal基本要素壹樣不少。旋律依然是Insomnium音樂的本質和精華,這張專輯比第壹張專輯顯得更加憂郁沈寂,充滿深沈的傷感,同時也更加引人入勝。
《Since The Day It All Came Down》2004—Insomnium的第二張正式專輯。在這張中,樂手們的演奏方面,水平比較平均,沒有特別突出的樂器。而作品中沒有復雜的 Riff,沒有狂飆的Solo,也沒有高速的鼓擊。整部作品幾乎都是在中速中完成,沒有大起大落的轉折。與上壹張最大的不同是在這張《Since The Day It All Came Down》中Insomnium對旋律有了新的詮釋,音樂變的含蓄了許多,低調又略帶傷感的旋律悠揚而綿長。另外樂隊對原聲吉他的運用十分出色,每壹段都可以充分的調動音樂情緒。這張專輯也讓我重新認識了這支氣質不俗的芬蘭樂隊。
《Above The Weeping World》2006—目睹了In Flames、Soilwork、Children of Bodom這些曾經的旋律死亡領頭羊都在新形式下壹壹走上了革新改良的道路,最終卻被卡在了固守傳統和追趕時髦的尷尬夾縫間,當年的威風早已不再,時常因此覺得旋律死亡這種風格是否已經走到頭了。然而第壹次聽到芬蘭的年輕樂隊Insomnium時還是眼前壹亮,很久沒有壹張旋律死亡作品能讓人這麽動容了。無論《In the Halls of Awaiting》還是《Since the Day it All Came Down》都有很高的水平,《Above the Weeping World》仍然保持著較高水準,實屬難得。如今的旋律死亡樂隊十有八九得靠創新來謀求生存,力量、激流、哥特、groove等統統吸收融合,然而 Insomnium身上卻嗅不到半點“新”味,這本來就不是壹支靠新意和融合取勝的樂隊。最為難能可貴的是雖然傳統卻並不陳舊保守,其音樂非但不會給人似曾相識的乏味感,反倒讓人感覺清新舒暢。對於旋律死亡這種柔美和剛勁並存的風格,鍵盤、原聲吉他等元素在音樂中的應用是很微妙的,打個比方,沒有這些元素就好像炒菜不加味精,可吃卻不香,然而味精多了也難吃。Insomnium就非常懂得把握這個度,鍵盤、原聲吉他在專輯中占的份額都很少,然而卻處處精妙傳神。歌曲如行雲流水般暢快,細膩別致又絲毫不顯得矯揉造作,音樂中滲透著壹種淡淡的憂傷情緒,很是迷人。Mortal Share、Drawn to Black和10分鐘的In the Groves of Death都是近年來旋律死亡領域內不可多得的佳作。如果說早年年少輕狂的Children of Bodom是壹壺烈酒,是躁動的盛夏,濃烈張揚而酣暢淋漓,那麽憂傷內秀的Insomnium則是杯淡茶,是蒼涼的深秋,清新雅致而明澈空靈。聽後覺得旋律死亡還沒有走到盡頭,至少還有Insomnium值得期待。
