Insurrection, the heavy-hitting death metal band from Gatineau, Quebec, Canada, is thrilled to announce the release of their music video for the single “The Gathering”, which is the first glimpse of their upcoming album “Obsolescence”, which is set to be unleashed on September 13, 2024. Known for their intense and energetic performances, Insurrection brings their unique blend of groovy death metal and thrash energy to this powerful new track. The band comments:

“The first time we played this song, we knew we had to play it live in front of people. In fact, we felt so strongly about that, that we started opening our set with this song. It has a massive, heavy beginning, and gradually builds up to a fast, double-bass crescendo, only to drop again to a pummeling conclusion. Lyrically, the song is very dark, and has a ritualistic style to it, although the words themselves are actually telling a story of acceptance.”

The song starts with a slow chugging intro, kind of like “Scourge of Iron” by Cannibal Corpse. As the song goes on, it evolves in speed and intensity and then comes crashing down again at the end with that same chugging into. Insurrection has been making music for the metal community for over 20 years. To them, it felt right to start this album with an ode to the scene that they love, and have been part of for most of their lives.

This song is their ritual, their church, it’s The Gathering. It’s the Metal Experience. It is recommended for fans of Misery Index, Testament, and Nevermore.

“This new single (Bless the Machine) goes flat-out right from the start, launched by an extended, serrated-edge scream, rapidly thrusting grooves, and a blizzard of mechanistic yet maniacal riffing. Intestinally deep gutturals proclaim their murderous prayer as the music occasionally seems to dismally moan and wail. The drums methodically chop, but while razor-sharp in their execution they also prove to be just as berserk as the fleet-fingered contortions of the fretwork. And yes, the song includes a head-spinning guitar solo that does sound like a refugee from Castlevania. It’s a hell of a wild, adrenaline-fueled gallop, further fueled by doubled voices screaming, but the song also frequently does sound like malicious machines ecstatically stitching steel through blasted flesh and broken bones — and like the piteous agonies of their victims.” – NoCleanSinging

“Insurrection play a groovy type of death metal that’s equal parts Dying Fetus, Decapitated and Lamb of God.” – Metal Sucks

“Head-banging, crushing riffs are the name of the game” – Exclaim!

“It’s immensely obliterating, but the grooves are especially titanic” -No Clean Singing

“Insurrection are masters of dishing out an aural onslaught” – Games, Brains and a Headbanging life

“faultless technically brutal yet catchy and melodic, death metal, infused with some wonderful thrash moments” – Moshville Times UK

“Insurrection hammer you with a full on assault of thumping drums, gnarly riffs and even gnarlier, sometimes bestial, growling vocals.” – Rock n Load Mag
