Guitarist Markus Vanhala compares Insomnium's new single "Pale Morning Star" to a miniature version of the band's 2016 album Winters Gate. Given the freezing majesty and nearly 10-minute runtime of the track, it's hard to argue with that comparison.
”'Pale Morning Star' was born as a short folky acoustic piece of mine – before it grew and exploded all over the place. I call this piece a miniature version of Winters Gate as it contains a somehow similar wintry and grim feel of that opus, supercharged to only 9 minutes. It’s presenting again a bit different side of the new album.”
Heart Like A Grave is out November 4.
