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 "Puss in Noots and the Curse of the Magic Benas"
1. Mark - 1 star
"Puss in noots magic benas was a complete disappointment for me. First of all, the plot was incredibly confusing and all over the place. I couldn't make sense of what was happening from start to finish. Furthermore, the animation was subpar and lacked any sort of creativity. It felt like a cheap knockoff of other more successful animated movies. Overall, I regret wasting my time and money on this film."
2. Sarah - 2 stars
"I had high expectations for Puss in noots magic benas, but sadly it fell flat for me. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any depth, making it hard to connect or care about their journey. Additionally, the humor was forced and often felt childish. The movie seemed to rely on cheap gags rather than genuine wit. I was left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed with what could have been a great animated film."
3. Mike - 1.5 stars
"Puss in noots magic benas failed to captivate me in any way. The story seemed like a jumbled mess, with poorly developed characters and an uninspiring plot. The dialogue was bland and lacked any sort of originality or charm. I found myself losing interest halfway through and struggling to stay engaged until the end. Overall, I would not recommend this movie to anyone looking for a quality animated film."
