Insomnium's Markus Vanhala comments: "There comes a time finally in October/November that we can hit the European autobahns and nightly motorways again, deliver the goods in concerts and spread the melancholic word of Shadows Of The Dying Sun album for all of you! Our second headliner tour takes us to nine countries during 18 shows, and needless to say we're anxious to play the long headliner shows. The first shows in Finland week ago were definitely nights to remember, so we're on a roll with our new one! The main support of the shows will be Fleshgod Apocalypse from Italy with their hyper speed epic metal and the openers will be our good friends from Finland - Stam1na. Stam1na is one of the biggest national metal bands in Finland, playing always sold-out shows and headlining the festivals and we're just so happy to give them a chance to play outside of Finland and show their phenomenal skills and energy in international waters! See you soon folks!"
