INSANE – “Wait and Pray” (Re-Release)
Label: High Roller Records
Release date: 26.11.2021
Format: LP & CD
Distribution: Soulfood
Although SLAVES left a mark in underground circles with their self-released album “Insolent Aggression”, the Italian outfit hit an artistic wall shortly after, therefore changing their name in tow with a considerable step forward in terms of musicality. “The name change coincided with the shift from four to just three members”, explains front man Dan. “We felt a need for a clean break with what we had done up to then, and what could have been a clearer statement than dropping the old moniker?”
Calling themselves ISANE shortly after they´d entered the naughties, the three musicians were quickly picked up by German label Battle Cry Records upon the strength of ´Death By Command´ on one of the famed “Metal Crusade” compilations by “Heavy, Oder Was !?” magazine. The song was eventually featured in 2005 on “Wait and Pray”, a monster of a thrash record in the vein of “Show No Mercy” by Slayer.
“They had been a benchmark for us as a bunch of teens,” the guitarist and singer acknowledges.
“However, we also drew inspiration from other lords of the genre: Venom, Kreator, Destruction and Sepultura. Since the band was so short-lived, you may only guess how it could have evolved further on.” As things went, INSANE managed to create a true gem of primal thrash that now comes with a wholly new artwork by Velio Josto (Warlord, Riot). “It looks amazing – another reason to be thankful to High Roller who are making this re-release possible!”
