Insanity Alert are a crossover thrash band from Innsbruck who launched in 2011 and quickly became a fixture on major European festival bills including Hellfest and Brutal Assault, signed to Season of Mist. Citing S.O.D., D.R.I., Suicidal Tendencies, and Municipal Waste as primary influences, the band pairs frenetic 80s-styled thrash with a beer-soaked sense of humor, epitomized by the 2024 covers record Moshemian Thrashody.
