Insanity Alert
INSANITY ALERT is the thrash metal gift that keeps on giving. Hailing from Innsbruck, Austria, this quartet epitomizes the raw, unapologetic energy of the genre. With influences ranging from early Metallica to crossover legends D.R.I., INSANITY ALERT blends blistering speed with humor that hits harder than a mosh pit punch to the face.
Their latest release, "666-Pack," is a relentless onslaught of riffs and hooks that will have you headbanging like it's 1986. The band's tongue-in-cheek lyrics and cheeky song titles (see: "March of the Gore Squad" and "All Mosh / No Brain") remind us that metal can still be fun, even in a world that takes itself too seriously.
Frontman The Dave must have a direct line to the metal gods, as his vocals range from guttural growls to soaring screams with effortless precision. Guitarist Dave Dictator shreds like he's selling his soul to the devil, while bassist Don Melanzani and drummer The Held keep the rhythm section thundering along like a runaway freight train.
If you're in need of a musical pick-me-up that's guaranteed to leave you sweaty and grinning from ear to ear, INSANITY ALERT is the band for you. So grab a beer, crank up the volume, and let the insanity begin. Because when it comes to thrash metal, these Austrian madmen are the real deal.
