Even though we haven’t played a single show, we have been constantly working our asses off with the new album. It was a long and endeavouring process and has practically taken all of our free time. The sixth position at official Finnish album chart and first position at Finnish independent music stores’ chart however proves that it was all worth it. Thank you for your support and believing in us. This one is dedicated to all you metal heads out there!

Ville Friman comments on the song: “'Unsung' was the last song we finished only just one day before hitting the studio. It's a bit more in vein of early Insomnium and definitely reminds us from our roots. Regardless of bowing to past, this song gives you good insight of the versatility of One For Sorrow and also introduces something new in terms of clean vocals in courtesy of myself. Hope you enjoy the song and stay tuned for updates concerning the pre-order packages!”
 

One For Sorrow is such an amalgamation of styles that pigeonholing them into a single category would be to rob the band of its true complexity and ignore the very essence of its sound. Recalling art-metal titans CULT OF LUNA at one turn and brutal visionaries AMON AMARTH at others, One For Sorrow displays the true musical breadth of a band that has clearly come into its own on this, their debut album for Century Media.

Guitarist Ville Friman comments on the album title, “The name One For Sorrow comes from a traditional children’s nursery rhyme. There are ten different scenarios in the original rhyme; likewise there are ten different songs and stories on our album. I think One For Sorrow truly depicts what this album is all about: bereavement, grief and loss.”

Vocalist Niilo Sevänen continues: "One for Sorrow is a truly epic album and the tour will surely be immense! We get to visit many of our favorite cities and meet the fans who have long waited for Insomnium headlining show. From London to Ljubljana we are looking forward to see you all!"
