“Do you see our cities? Our constant struggle to earn a place in the front row and admire the glory
of the powerful? Then pull your eyes out and look at what we truly are: we are the dream of a dying
god”.
This is where the anticipations of the dystopian universe of “Il mondo aldilà”, the new concept
album by INSANIA.11, lay deep.
It portrays a society where technological progress imposed a rigid discipline upon humanity that
reduced human beings to a state of alienating servitude. The story unfolds through the eyes of a
spiritual movement developed in this surreal reality. By using psychedelic drugs, the followers of
this subversive cult force open the boundaries between the physical world and the astral plane.
The distortion of reality thins the veil separating humanity’s confined existence from other realms,
making their perception possible. Fragile and undefined in some of these worlds, a clarified essence
of our chronicle reflect a heightened and distorted version of our own reality, while others echo
memories of ancient myths acknowledged in our childhood. Some are worlds of prisons, others are
worlds of theshold and of a transition from embryo to chrysalis to butterfly. A flutter of wings that
shakes the structure of reality itself.
“Il mondo aldilà” is a complex and nerdy work that plunges the listener’s ear labyrinths into the
labyrinth of the film The Shining. It’s like a Rubik’s Cube of extreme metal that dismantles and
reassembles death metal, black metal and progressive sound to serve its narrative by challenging
both ears and mind. This is a multidimensional object whose most recognizable reflections recall
Death, Coroner, Necrophagist and Necrophobic.
Bleak, claustrophobic, razor-sharp and liberating, “Il mondo aldilà” is now available on all digital
platforms. Physical copies are available on Bandcamp.

INSANIA.11 emerged from the ashes of Insania, a thrash(core) band active between 1989 and 1997
with a demo and a handful of rough recordings. The project turned in 2008 into a studio-based
entity led by Samaang, eventually materializing in 2010 with the EP “I Diari di Samaang: lo Stato
Larvale”.
Following an attempted reunion with the original lineup, the project consolidated around the core
duo of Samaang and Ethrum, leading to the release of “Di Sangue e di Luce” in 2017. Despite
limited distribution, the album received positive feedback from the specialized press. In 2019,
“L’Orrore” was released after a few setbacks and hardship.
New material emerged from 2019 and despite the difficulties encountered by the isolation of the
pandemic period, the creative process expanded into a broader and more structured work. Alongside
the songwriting, a unified conceptual framework took form, while vocal techniques were refined
through the collaboration with Scream Studios. Once the arrangements and recordings were
completed, “Il mondo aldilà” reached its final form with the contribution of Marco Allemandi who
handled mixing and mastering at Triora Records.
