Sadly, this kind of news was almost expected. Not only has the Coronavirus Pandemic outbreak caused postponement of numerous tour dates and special events, but its also found a large number of them being cancelled in full. Read on down below for this statement from Finland’s Insomnium.
The Statement:
With heavy hearts we inform you that we are forced to cancel this North American tour after just one show. All these government actions, bans and restrictions to fight the Corona virus are basically cancelling our shows and shutting down the country so there is nothing we can do.

When we last discussed the Finnish sensation known as Nighwish, it was to reveal their very brief US tour dates (seen HERE) which was done not long after our overview of their debut single and video “Noise” (seen HERE) from their upcoming album “Human Nature”. The song is called “Harvest” and is a lyric video as opposed to a regular one but let’s have a look at it down below.
PiercingMetal Thoughts: Much like my posts about “teaser trailers”, I don’t really feel there is much to say about lyric videos. I will save my song thoughts for a proper single review which I will attend to shortly for good measure. I did find the presented scenes behind the song to be very nice though and think that most of you will enjoy them. Stay tuned for the song narrative, see you then.
The Press Release:
Finnish melancholic progressive metal band, AMORPHIS, are proud to announce they will be hitting the road in celebration of their legendary 1994 release Tales From The Thousand Lakes. Each night the classic album will be played in its entirety. The 38-date trek will launch on September 11th with 3 shows at the Kingsland in Brooklyn before making stops in Worcester, West Hollywood and Atlanta before concluding in Hartford at The Webster Theater on October 26th! Joining the band are ENTOMBED AD and NERVOSA.
Esa Holopainen comments, “We are really stoked to celebrate Amorphis 30th anniversary in North America this fall. And hell yes, it will be really special tour. AMORPHIS will perform Tales From The Thousand Lakes album in its entirety. Do not miss this run as we have a killer line-up with Entombed AD and Nervosa supporting.”
