Insurrection, the powerhouse metal band from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada is excited to release their guitar playthrough video for “Obsession”, offering fans a closer look at the intricate musicianship that defines their sound. This track is part of their recently released album “Obsolescence”, which came out on September 13, 2024, on the label Bam & Co. Heavy. They enthusiastically explain the single:
“This one may be our favourite to jam. It’s 2-ish minutes of grind or at least the type of grind we can still play 20 years into doing this. The lyrics are about being obsessed with perfection. It is basically the song that we cannot help but write. We’re usually a groovy death metal band, but we all love the chaos of grind. At the end of the day, we’ve always done whatever we want and feel like doing, and this song is 100% a reflection of that.”

Since its formation in 2003, Insurrection has been known for its intense live performances and unique blend of groovy death metal and thrash energy. With a lineup consisting of Stef Jomphe on vocals, Antonin Foisy and Mike Birch on guitars, Martin Samson on bass, and Jay Cross on drums, the band has consistently delivered music that resonates with metal fans across Canada.
“Obsession” captures the essence of Insurrection’s sound, combining aggressive riffs, powerful vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics in both English and French. Musically, the album is cohesive while also being a little bit all over the place. Every song is patently Insurrection, but each song also pulls a bit of inspiration from somewhere new. They’ve got some that have a grind feel and others that have a touch of prog or thrash. Groove brings it all together. It is recommended for fans of Nevermore, Bloodbath, and Decapitated.
