Description
Sweden's power metal masters Insania return with their brand-new album "The Great Apocalypse".
4 Years after the successful "V", the Swedes are back with their own recipe of Power Metal, full of speedy, double-bass drums, great hooks, and amazing solos.
The band's current line-up consists of Mikko Korsb?ck (drums), Tomas Stolt (bass), Niklas Dahlin (guitar), Ola Hal?n (vocals) and Peter ?stros (guitar).
The first version of Insania was formed in 1992 by drum player Mikko Korsb?ck and guitar player Henrik Juhano. Bass player Tomas Stolt was added to the line-up shortly after and a few other musicians were also part of the band for short periods of time. The band initially started off playing covers of their favorite bands such as Helloween and Iron Maiden, but eventually Mikko ?s classmate Niklas Dahlin joined as a second guitar player and they started writing their own tunes. The band then added keyboard player Patrik V?stil? and began to pursue a more melodic style. Mikko took it upon himself to sing, even if he was playing the drums at the same time, as the band had not found a vocalist to match their ambitions.
In 1997, the band approached singer David Henriksson to join the band. The union between the band's ambitions and David's vocals were a match made in heaven. The band felt complete now and sought to find a way to reach a bigger crowd. Later, the band was offered a deal with House of Kicks (later known as MNW and then Sound Pollution) and their debut album "World of Ice" was released in 1999. The band would go on to release three more albums over the course of the coming years while enduring some line-up changes and eventually going on hiatus in 2007.
Following the signing with Frontiers to release "V", Insania started to bring again back to the metalheads around the globe their power metal attack revitalized with the addition of the singer extraordinaire Olaf Hal?n, the 14 minutes Title Track featured in the new album is the manifest of the band's sound.
