Insision formed in Stockholm in 1997 and pursued a brand of brutal death metal more aligned with North American acts like Cryptopsy and Morbid Angel than the melodic traditions of their countrymen. Across four albums — Beneath the Folds of Flesh (2002), Revealed and Worshipped (2004), Ikon (2007), and Terminal Reckoning (2016) — the band maintained a punishing, technically demanding approach before going quiet after their final release.
