All too often, the world can feel so dark and heavy that everyone seems to have lost their collective minds. But one band are hell-bent on partying like there’s no tomorrow.
Though they were formed out of the powdered slopes of Austria, Insanity Alert have a different style of shredding in mind. Their undying allegiance to ’80s crossover thrash is only rivaled by their craving for a juicy moshburger and an ice-cold 666 pack.
Today, Insanity Alert are announcing a new EP. Moshemian Thrashody puts a fun, frothy and snot-nosed spin on four familiar classics, though the inspiration behind the lead single might surprise you.

It makes sense that Insanity Alert parody Queen, Guns ‘N’ Roses and Iron Maiden on Moshemian Thrashody. After all, these speed freaks will go to comically absurd lengths when paying homage to the classics. So when the video for “Beerless Fiesta” opens with a faint but familiar waft of saxophone, it throws you for a loop, like an edible that your friends swore was just a regular old brownie.
Wait, are they about to rip on…George Michael?
“I’m never gonna drink again”, Heavy Kevy screams in agony, as if wrapped around the toilet. If this band are so much as entertaining the idea of sobriety, then you know they’re battling one hell of a hangover. But their new single only goes to show that Insanity Alert aren’t hopping on the wagon anytime soon. When the thrash riffs start spilling forth like a frothy beer bong, that means it’s time to jump in the mosh pit.
“Moshemian Thrashody rides the thin line between familiar and super awkward”, says Insanity Alert. “It’s like getting shitfaced with your favorite highschool teacher”.
The video for “Beerless Fiesta” was produced, filmed and edited by Max “Mugs” Raggl in Innsbruck, Austria ( www.mugs.at ).
The concept was created by Heavy Kevy and Insanity Alert.
