Insomnium released the video below for their new song “White Christ“, which is from the band’s ninth studio album Anno 1969, which is set to release on February 24th. Along with the release of the new single, the band announced a North American co-headlining tour with Enslaved with Black Avil providing support.
Guitarist Markus Vanhala:
“Heavy & hypnotic! A very Rotting Christ-influenced song, and it was insane that in the end Sakis of Rotting Christ ended up being featured on the song as a vocalist. Can’t wait to see people raise their fists at concerts for this banger.”
Bassist/vocalist Niilo Sevänen:
“This is Markus Vanhala‘s composition and maybe the heaviest song on the album. Great to have Sakis from Rotting Christ on this track too. Lyrically it is about the mindset of the main antagonist of the story and the religious fervor.”
Guitarist Ville Friman:
“A really catchy and heavy song. Also a new type of Insomnium song we have not had before on any previous albums.”
