Insania To Release First Album In 12 Years
Swedish power metal masters Insania return after a lengthy hiatus with their fifth album, "V (Praeparatus Supervivet)," a powerful record packed with speedy, soaring tracks in the classic European power metal tradition with double-bass drums, great hooks and amazing solos. Showcasing a freshly inspired group, it is their first release via Frontiers Music Srl and is out on 12th November.
Insania was initially formed in 1992 by drummer Mikko Korsbäck and guitarist Henrik Juhano. Bassist Tomas Stolt was soon added, with other musicians joining for short periods. Starting out by performing covers of their favourite bands (such as Helloween and Iron Maiden), Korsbäck’s classmate Niklas Dahlin eventually joined as second guitarist and they began writing their own songs, which became steadily more melodic following the addition of keyboardist Patrik Västilä. Korsbäck himself added vocal duties to his CV until singer David Henriksson joined in 1997.
The union between the band's ambitions and Henriksson’s vocals were a match made in heaven. Signing to House of Kicks, a debut album entitled "World Of Ice" was released in 1999 and they would go on to release another three records with a mutating line-up before the group was put on ice in 2007. The now reformed band are ready to bring their power metal stylings back to metalheads around the globe! More...
Insania Signs With Frontiers Srl
Sweden's Insania have announced their signing to Frontiers Music Srl. The power metal band will release their fifth studio album in 2021.
"Dear friends, we are very excited to announce that an agreement has been signed with the Italian record label Frontiers Music Srl for our new album! This cooperation enables Insania to begin production on our fifth studio album. A feeling that we can write great power metal music together again has been growing for some time now. So, when you get an opportunity to work with a well respected label like Frontiers, it would be pure madness to try and resist it. And the truth is that we’ve actually started to write songs for our sixth album as well, so thanks to Frontiers, We Will Rise Again!," says drummer and founding member Mikko Korsbäck.
The first version of Insania was formed in 1992 by drummer Mikko Korsbäck and guitar player Henrik Juhano. Bass player Tomas Stolt was added to the lineup shortly after and a few other musicians were also part of the band for short periods of time. The band started off by playing covers of their favorite bands such as Helloween and Iron Maiden, but were not producing their own music at this point. Eventually Mikko's classmate Niklas Dahlin became the band's second guitar player and they started writing their own tunes. The band then added keyboard player Patrik Västilä 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 match between the band's ambitions and David’s vocals were a complete 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 lineup changes.
The band's current line-up consists of Mikko Korsbäck (drums), Tomas Stolt (bass), Niklas Dahlin (guitar), Ola Halén (vocals), Dimitri Keiski (keyboards, background vocals), and Peter Östros (guitar). Energized and inspired, they will release their fifth album in 2021.
