Discography: “Pride/Fall” (2001), “Absence” (2005), “Anatomy of Life” (2006)
Noumena is a melodic death metal band that takes its name from the philosophical term “noumenon”. They have been active since 1998 and in 2004, after various demos and EPs they were signed to Spikefarm Records. The band consists of the following five members:
Antti H. - vocals
Tuukka T. - guitar
Ville L.- guitar
Hannu S. - bass
Llkka U. - drums
Noumena are able to brilliantly meld the sounds of melodic-death metal with an old school Scandinavian and ‘80’s metal feel. Their 2006 album, “Anatomy of Life”, is that last we have heard from this band in a while- but I am keeping my fingers crossed for another album or two. Defiantly check out Noumena if you are a fan of Insomnium, or Dark Lunacy.

Oh, this band is quite original, they play a very pleasent melodic death metal, a sort of "riff to relax" stuff. They also have guest appearances on several albums by Tuomas Tuominen, singer of disbanded metal band Fall of the Leafe, also from Finland (August Wernicke their masterpiece before calling it quits).
This was my first time listening to Noumena. I will give it two thumbs up.

Is Fall of the Leafe pretty good? I have heard of them, but not heard them.
