Insania is a Swedish power metal band from Stockholm , which was founded in 1992 by Mikko Korsbäck and Henrik Juhano. The band is not to be confused with the German heavy metal band of the same name .
Band history
The band was founded in 1992 by Mikko Korsbäck and Henrik Juhano. Thomas Stolt (bass), Niklas Dahlin (guitar), Patrik Västilä (keyboards) and singer David Henriksson completed the line-up. In 1996, a first demo was recorded that the band brought in a record deal with the record company No Fashion Records . In 1999 her debut album World of Ice was released there , which was produced by Thomas Skogsberg . Several small tours followed, the biggest appearance was at a festival in the opening act of Manowar . In 2000, the second work Sunrise appeared in Riverland , in the opening act of Saxon a small tour was completed. David Henriksson decided to exit after the tour and was replaced by Ola Halén. Together with him, the album Fantasy - A New Dimension was released . To avoid confusion with the German and Czech bands of the same name, the band logo was given the addition "Stockholm".
After the album was released, Patrik Västilä left to continue his studies. He was replaced by Dimitri Keiski. The two guitarists Henrik Juhano and Niklas Dahlin also left the band shortly afterwards. Peter Östros then got in and it was decided to continue with a guitar. After losing their record deal, some demos were recorded. It was not until 2007 that they were able to sign with Black Lodge, who released the album Agony - Gift of Life in 2007. In the meantime, Östros and Keiski devoted a Gospel - rock project.
