Swedish power metal masters Insania are pleased to unveil the 25th Anniversary Edition of the song “Angels In The Sky”, originally released on their “Sunrise In Riverland” album in 2001, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band commented: “The 25th anniversary version of “Angels In The Sky” is a gift from us to all of our fans – both the new ones and the ones who have been with us since the beginning. This is how the song could have sounded 25 years ago – if the guys in the cureent line up magically would have returned back to our 20-something year old bodies in 2003 (thus omitting our very immature minds from the equation)!”
“Angels In The Sky is one of those songs that always seem to pop up when our band is mentioned – and rightfully so. The song itself came from a place of loss and sorrow – and still to this day it seems to resonate with the ones who hear it for the first time”, they continued. “We hope that you will enjoy this song in its new shape and form. Thank you for sticking with us throughout the years.”

“Angels In The Sky (25th Anniversary Edition)” is the first song that Insania recorded with their new four-piece line-up, that made its live debut in 2025. The song is also the first studio recording where the new bass player Erik Arkö is featured – and it also marks the return of Katarina Jenner and Åsa Halén, who sang the choirs on “Revolution” and “Trinity” on “The Great Apocalypse”(2025) and who now return to leave their mark once again.
The first version of Insania was formed in 1992 by drum player Mikko Korsbäck and guitar player Henrik Juhano. Bass player Tomas Stolt was added to the line-up shortly after, and a few other musicians were also part of the band for short periods of time.
The band initially started off playing covers of their favorite bands such as Helloween and Iron Maiden, but eventually Mikko’s classmate Niklas Dahlin joined as a second guitar player and they started writing their own tunes. The band then added keyboard player Patrik Västilä and began to pursue a more melodic style. Mikko took it upon himself to sing, even if he was playing the drums at the same time, as the band had not found a vocalist to match their ambitions.
In 1997, the band approached singer David Henriksson to join the band. The union between the band’s ambitions and David’s vocals was a match made in heaven. The band felt complete and sought to find a way to reach a bigger crowd.
Later, the band was offered a deal with House Of Kicks (later known as MNW and then Sound Pollution) and their debut album “World Of Ice” was released in 1999. The band would go on to release three more albums over the course of the coming years, while enduring some line-up changes and eventually going on hiatus in 2007.
Following the signing with Frontiers to release “V”, Insania started to bring their power metal attack again back to the metalheads around the globe, revitalized with the addition of the singer extraordinaire Ola Halén.
The band released their latest album, “The Great Apocalypse”, last June, a powerful record full of speedy, double-bass drums, great hooks, and amazing solos.
