Above the Weeping World is the third studio album by Finnish melodic death metal band Insomnium.

The last track of the album, "In the Groves of Death" lasts about ten minutes, and its main theme is heavily inspired by Leino's poem Tumma, the ending poem of his saga Helkavirsiä.

The entire poem "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" by English poet Francis William Bourdillon is used as a chorus in the album's third track "Drawn to Black".

Above the Weeping World has received extraordinary reviews both in Finland (e.g. SUE magazine 10/10))[9] and abroad (e.g. Kerrang!

At the same time, Insomnium embarked on their first full European tour, playing 36 gigs in six weeks (5.9 - 15.10), in 15 countries.
