Niilo discusses Insomnium’s May tour (2025) in Australia, unexpected inspirations behind their music, and the creative process for selecting lyrical concepts. Niilo shares insights on unexplored musical styles, intriguing fan interpretations, and a dream collaboration with a historical figure. We revisit the bold decision to release Winter’s Gate as a single 40-minute track in 2016 and its reception nearly a decade later, plus the epic Anno 1696 album from 2023. Topics also include tackling dark historical themes like witch hunts, navigating music industry challenges, observations on freedom versus responsibility during the COVID pandemic, and reflections on utopian ideals versus human nature in their work.
