Album Review
Insanity Reigns Supreme – “Unorthodox” [Album Review]
Although Unorthodox is the band’s fourth release, after such a gap since their last offering, it almost feels like a debut, with the band going out to prove themselves once more.
Despite releasing their debut album the best part of twenty years ago, Belgium’s Insanity Reigns Supreme aren’t exactly what you would call prolific. In fact, in the seventeen years following their debut, there have only been two more releases, the last coming back in 2009. That is until now, as the band have just dropped disc number four, Unorthodox.
From the outset, though it appears to have been worth the wait, “Ov Fire” opens the album up at a ferocious and brutal pace and reminds us exactly what Insanity Reigns Supreme are capable of, before “Torment” shows the band at their best. But as the album continues it becomes clear that the guys are suffering from a little ring rust; it’s as if they are trying too hard to deliver.
Although Unorthodox is the band’s fourth release, after such a gap since their last offering, it almost feels like a debut, with the band going out to prove themselves once more. As a result, this is the sound of a band trying to find their feet again. Yes it’s a little rough around the edges at times, but the foundations are there for them to push on. Let’s just hope they do this time.
