Guitarist Markus Vanhala comments about the track:
“This is a good example of a song growing and finding its own wings during the studio process. This one definitely has a cinematic feel; the storyline needs the essence of journey moving forward. In fact, I made a Finnish vocal demo for this one, reading and screaming Niilo’s storyline, but only the name stayed and translated from “Noidanmetsästäjä” to English. But that’s another story and a secret version never to be found by outsiders.”
Bassist/vocalist Niilo Sevänen adds:
“This is Markus Vanhala’s composition; it actually does not really sound like the archetypal INSOMNIUM song and has some very interesting elements. One of the songs that improved the most in the studio in my opinion – and became one of the singles. Lyrically it continues to tell the story from the witch hunter’s point of view.”
Guitarist Ville Friman concludes:
“For me, this song has a really strong cinematic feel to it, and I can easily travel into the story in my head when I close my eyes.”
Anno 1696 is a gateway into another world. This time around, INSOMNIUM tell us a tale based on a short story by Niilo Sevänen (bass/vocals), woven with sorrow and the last crumbling vestiges of hope, plus wrath and morbid lullabies. Welcome to 1696. Welcome to hell. This is an age of unrest. The age of great famine in the North. The witch hunt is in full swing all across Europe and the gruesome witch trials have even reached the remote and majestic landscapes of Finland and Sweden.
“The Torsåker witch trials were a horrible source of nightmarish inspiration,” Sevänen says of his ghastly muse. “All that talk about 70 women beheaded in this small Swedish parish? It’s real stuff from history! And as if that weren’t enough, there are also some very dark tales of cannibalism and child murder from the years of the great famine.”
Stories don’t get any more metal than this.

Reviews for "Dealing with the Side Effects of the Reanimator Curse"
1. Sarah - 2/5
I was really excited to watch "Curse of the Reanimator," as I'm a big fan of horror movies and had heard good things about the original film. However, I was extremely disappointed with this sequel. The acting was subpar, with the actors delivering their lines in a wooden and unconvincing manner. The plot was also very predictable and lacked any originality. I found myself constantly rolling my eyes at the cliché jump scares and the overuse of gore. Overall, "Curse of the Reanimator" was a letdown and didn't live up to the expectations set by its predecessor.
2. Mike - 1/5
I honestly can't find any redeeming qualities in "Curse of the Reanimator." The film felt like a cheap imitation of other, better horror movies. The special effects were poorly done, and the makeup on the reanimated creatures was laughably bad. The storyline was convoluted and made no sense, jumping from one nonsensical scene to another. I also found it hard to connect with any of the characters, as they were poorly developed and lacked depth. Overall, "Curse of the Reanimator" seemed like a cash grab attempt that failed miserably.
3. Emily - 2/5
As a fan of the original "Reanimator," I was excited to see where the story would go in "Curse of the Reanimator." Unfortunately, this sequel fell flat and failed to capture the same magic. The acting was mediocre at best, with most of the performances feeling forced and unnatural. The pacing was also off, with the film dragging in some parts and rushing through others. The scares were predictable and lacked any genuine fear factor. Overall, "Curse of the Reanimator" was a disappointment and didn't live up to the standards set by its predecessor.
