"MEGA rare 6 track rehearsal tape here by San Francisco's INSANITY from 1990! I thought I had lost this tape for good til I came across it recently. Chuffed to say the least! INSANITY were one of the very first Death/Thrash metal bands that went HYPERSPEED along with Genocide (Repulsion), FCDN TORMENTOR & a few others. Their 1985 rehearsal demo was a huge influence on people like Bill Steer (Napalm Death, Carcass) & Barney Greenway (Napalm D.) much like Genocide/Repulsion were, but they remained underground & never got it together due to various circumstances to make a deserved impact to a larger audience (See also the early & unreleased recordings by MASTER, MORBID ANGEL, DEVASTATION (Ill) etc that only saw an official release years, sometimes DECADES later). INSANITY have been releasing & reissuing most of their recordings themselves via their BLACK LUNG label & Chinese label AREADEATH released a 2 cd set of their material back in 2009, alongside lots of archive rehearsal & Live tracks. But THIS 1990 Rehearsal tape has appeared NOWHERE so far. No mention of it on the bands discography (both on Encyclopedia Metallum & Discogs) & not one track of it has also appeared on any compilation of some sorts either. So you now know how bat-shit rare these recordings are. 6 tracks in 28 minutes. Restored & mastered by Mahler Haze in January 2023."
