INSANITY ALERT Party with Iron Maiden on New Single Beer in the Park
28th May 2024INSANITY ALERT are nothing but a good time. The veteran mosh manics just cracked open a fresh case of crossover thrash last week with the release of Moshemian Thrashody. Today, they’re celebrating their new EP by taking Iron Maiden on a fast and frothy spin through the park.

“Beer in the Park” overflows with the band’s slapstick humor. Despite suffering a mild heart attack, Slap Master Puke manages to keep the bass lines chunky and grooving. “I have a giant thirst / I just can’t help myself” Heavy Kevy sneers before The Dave of Death launches headfirst into a gold and frothy guitar solo that’ll bring metalheads back to their glory days.
If there’s anything on this Earth that Insanity Alert craves more than a 666-pack, it’s crossover thrash. The band wasted no time worshipping Iron Maiden on their very first full-length with a mosh-brained rendition of “Run to the Hills”. This time around, they’re shredding through “Fear of the Dark”, which nabbed the NWOBHM trailblazers their first GRAMMY nod back in 1994.
“Beer in the Park” is all in good fun, but Insanity Alert knows how to honor the classics. Don Melanzani pushes the pace with a chugging D-beat. Even after several dozen waterfalls, there’s no cooling down The Inphiltrator’s enthusiasm for heavy downpicked riffs.
“We think of our renditions as tributes to the greatness of the original songs”, Insanity Alert says. “Mixing their greatness with our blend of speed, fun, brutality, and weirdness just feels right”.
