Anno 1696 is the ninth studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Insomnium, released on 24 February 2023 via Century Media.[8] Insomnium began working on the album shortly before the release of Argent Moon, in 2021, with the album originally planned to be released in 2022.[9] Like their 2016 album Winter's Gate, the album is based on a short story by vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevänen,[3] first hinted on October 24, 2022, less than two weeks before the album's official announcement.[10] It is the final release to feature guitarist Jani Liimatainen.[11]
