INSANIA / FANTASY...THE NEW DIMENSION

If you love Power Metal in the vein of Helloween / Gamma Ray you will love this CD by Swedish band Insania.

This is their 3rd album and like it's predecessor (Sunrise In Riverland) it storms along at a frantic pace but has plenty of light and shade as well. Full to bursting with twin lead guitars, Keyboards and more melody than you can shake a stick at, with the future of Helloween in the balance at the moment this could be the only game in town.

Tracks like "Mankind", "Fantasy" and "Carry On" cannot fail to impress and will have the most ardent headbanger thrashing around like they are have a fit, this is Euro Metal at it's best and Insaina just keep getting better and better. You can be sure this will be played to death on my show very, very soon.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 65 mins + 11 TRACKS
