Ground Control, a Verona-based metal group formed in 1996, receive strong praise for their debut album Insanity. The record is noted for US-style thrash influences, technical riffing and a powerful production. Review highlights include performances by Alessio Garavello and Fabio Cavallaro and a cover of Anthrax's "Metal Thrashing Mad." The album was recorded at Remaster Studios and mastered by Karl Groom.

For:Fans of classic US-style thrash metal, listeners of Megadeth/Anthrax/Annihilator influences, followers of the Italian metal scene.

 A competitive and superb album in every aspect, including production, graphics, technical elegance, the best since the times of "Withdraw from Reality" by Broken Glazz and "Tension at the Seams" by the revived Extrema, bands from which they collect a great and heavy legacy, so aficionados of the genre are thus warned.
