Yeah that did happen but the album has been recorded, mixed... and the other members are ambitious as hell. They also just did a tour (Jesper missed it) but Jesper did do the Cruise a few weeks ago. If something like that is happening here then Jesper will quit before the band just dies. They have too much momentum and it’s not just Jesper’s buddies.Remember when Jesper was in the resistance, and there was a long period of no word after they said he needed to go on hiatus to battle his demons. And then he left after that. I’m getting a feeling something similar is happening here.
They've misread or were simply malicious.The people who think he had a stroke misread his intagram post he said seizure, which is probably a result of the damage his alcohol addiction has done to his brain and body. Fingers crossed the new Cyhra material will be here soon. I'm eagerly anticipating this one.
The album will probably be out by the end of summer. My guess.They've said last year that there will be a single in feb. or march.

INSOMNIUM - currently in the studio to record a new album
Finland’s foremost melodic deathsters INSOMNIUM have begun recording their 8th studio album, as drums are being nailed at SF Studio with engineer Kimmo Perkkiö. Afterwards the work shall continue at Teemu Aalto Music Productions in Kotka. Jens Bogren will do the mix at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.
"Again when the days grew darker and the nights became colder, our path led into the dark. We checked-in to our traditional forest cabin-hq in the southern Finland for a new material rehearsal camp and (un)reality-check. We came out with 10’ish songs full of that good ol’ Finnish melancholy, sorrow & misery and now it’s time to wrap it all on tape for you peeps to hear ’em. Cannot wait to start the studio process and let the creative processes go up-and-down again!" comments guitarist Markus Vanhala.
”Exactly so!” adds vocalist & bassist Niilo Sevänen. ”We have a pile of great songs in our hands and we can’t wait to get these recorded and finished. I would say the album will be the kind of dreary and wistful Insomnium that people probably might expect but we also have a few surprises in store. Lyrically the album will revolve around Finland’s bleakest and most sorrowful tales and songs. So this time we are really going into the blackened heart of Finnish gloom!”
The forthcoming INSOMNIUM album is scheduled for an autumn 2019 release.
