discography:

INSURRECTION offers the ultimate blend between brutality, melody and catchiness with their raging melodic death/thrash.
Hailing from the north of the Netherlands, founded in 2008, these Dutch thrashers released their critically acclaimed 6-track debut EP ‘Catatonic‘ on Big Bad Wolf Records in 2015.
First print sold-out in no time and Insurrection subsequently did a whole shitload of shows promoting this release in the Netherlands and Germany.
Following up their successful debut EP, Insurrection released full-length album ‘Circles Of Despair’ in 2019 on Big Bad Wolf/Headbangers Records (mix & mastering by Fredrik Nordström, who previously mixed In Flames, Arch Enemy, Dimmu Borgir etc.).
Still tight and energetic, but pushing the envelope on this release by refining their death/thrash sound into a more diverse approach.
With 4-track EP ‘Exiled To Earth’, Insurrection presented their most melodic and mature release in 2023.
Containing meticulously written and thought out melodeath/thrash tracks.
Equally aggressive, upbeat and melodic, but with an added touch of prog and atmosphere this time.
‘Exiled To Earth’ was mixed and mastered by Mendel bij de Leij (Aborted, Severe Torture, Haliphron a.o.).
Critically acclaimed for their killer songwriting skills and their tight live performances (more than 120 shows played all over Europe with metal icons such as Destruction, Cryptopsy, King Diamond, Cradle Of Filth, Suffocation, Hypocrisy a.o.) during the past few years, Insurrections quality is no longer an underground secret.
With a special edition re-release of ‘Exiled To Earth’ (including 10 (!) live & 8-BIT bonus tracks) these melodeath/thrashers are ready to rise like the tide out of the underground…
