Tribute to Winter's Gate (Insomnium Acoustic Cover)

Winter's Gate is the seventh studio album by the Finnish melodic death metal band Insomnium. It was released worldwide on September 23, 2016 via Century Media Records. It is a single 40-minute concept album said to be about “a group of Vikings who set out to find a fabled island west of Ireland, despite the treacherous winter drawing near.”
That album is really one of my all-time-favourite albums. The impact the story, the music, the musicianship and whole concept made me was so big, I had to put my effort in it.
Of course it is a ridiculous thing to make a 5-minute-cover of 40-minute album, but that's just not the case really. That's only my own humble tribute to an album I consider one of the greatest in modern metal. My version obviously pictures only a short fragment of the Winter's Gate story.
The Winter's Gate story bands vocalist and bassist Niilo Sevänen has written, is not only a bunch of vikings getting slaughtered in Ragnarök. It's much deeper. There is greed, there is excitement.. It's about regret, compassion and fear... It really fells deep into you especially when you read it with Insomnium's music in back ground. (Not my version, the real Insomnium album version )
So.... Enjoy my %100 amateur home made production and feel free to write some feedback about it. Goods and bads. Cheers!
Insomnium is:
Niilo Sevänen - lead vocals, bass
Ville Friman - guitars, clean vocals
Markus Vanhala - guitars
Jani Liimatainen - guitars
Markus Hirvonen - drums

This is awesome! I'm still waiting for the day, when Insomnium releases full acoustic version of Winter's Gate. Your cover is amazing and thank you for that :)

[@willrfrench]

Oh man that would be so sick

[@Left4troniK]

Every time I listen to it, I am transported to another time, especially in the middle of winter, it will also be for me one of my best albums. Your acoustic version is really good quality, great job !

[@TheSoulofFantasy]

[@6sentient]

i always told insomnium should've played in C#,rather than D and this video and rendition are the perfect proof. this is soooo,soooo good,amazing job,keep up the god's work

[@manoj_dewri]

Simply awesome. Looking forward for more Insomnium acoustic covers. Greetings from India.

[@KL-cv3ee]

Please tell me you are planning on doing more of this ?
because....
MOOOOREEEEEE !!!! I NEEED MOREEEEEEEEE !!!

[@serengil]

I wish I were, but amateur musician that I am, it is really hard to find a time to gather something like this in near future. What songs are coming to your mind, that fits in an acoustic approach like this song?

[@KL-cv3ee]

I feel like doing the whole Winter's gate album would be awesome ! Not being a musician myself, I can only guess the sheer amount of work it needs.
Otherwise my favourite by them is Pale Morning Star. I also love the emotion of Decoherence + Lay the ghost to rest.
Thank you again for that awesome tribute, well done my friend ! And I hope my first comment didn't feel too commending :D

[@KL-cv3ee]

By the way, Hann did an awesome cover of Valediction and House of sleep from Amorphis if you need any inspiration. Melodeath translate so well to accoustic versions :)

[@rijoraghvan5493]

This is amazing! There is an almost ethereal feeling to the whole arrangement. Winters gate is the best melodic death albums IMO and your rendition does it justice and more over one can hear how much you love the music.

[@lagaras]

Greetings from Greece amazing...
