Album review: Insanity - Psicosis (2020)


Insanity - Psicosis

Colombia

Ritos de Muerte Radio Extrema

Formed in 2001 and after a series of EPs and two compilations, Colombians Insanity finally unleash their debut album upon the masses with "Psicosis". Admittedly, the material is pretty standard for the genre, though the execution and musicianship are undeniably good. The production is comprehensible and appropriately clear, fitting for the style they play. The display of technical prowess, heavy groove and bludgeoning brutality is reminiscent of bands like Skinless, Prostitute Disfigurement and Necrophagist. I think fans of the aforementioned bands, especially those who are into modern death metal, will definitely enjoy this. "Psicosis" is a solid debut album with 9 tracks of well-crafted death metal that hits you like a hammer blow to the skull. (HT)
