INSOMNIUM: US tour confirmed with Katatonia, Scar Symmetry and Swallow the Sun!!!

Sweden's Katatonia will return to headline their first American tour this fall.  Kicking of September 4, the tour will make nineteen stops around the country and will feature an all European line-up with Sweden's Scar Symmetry joining up with Finland's Insomnium and Swallow the Sun.
 
Insomnium will make their stateside debut performing selections from their current/third album Above the Weeping World.  "This is by far the best Insomnium album", says vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevännen. "It is the first time we feel we really succeeded in the studio. As a band we are very happy with the end result". Formed in 1997, Insomnium recorded two demos before signing with Candlelight Records. Kerrang says, "Insomnium have grown into something truly remarkable."
