Biography

The album ‘Illusional Gates’ builds on foreboding themes of oppression and living out of time, in a dream-like reality spinning out of control. The byproduct of the band’s collective struggles throughout the past few years. Collaborating with Jim Pinder (Bullet For My Valentine, Fightstar, Machine Head and While She Sleeps) Insolvency put all of these themes and experiences into their songwriting as therapy. The resulting catharsis paints a vivid picture, blurring the lines of reality while being soundtracked by astonishingly brutal riffs. Packed guttural screams and soaring melody the album also includes special guest vocals from Ryan Kirby (Fit For a King) and CJ McMahon (Thy Art Is Murder) respectively. ‘Illusional Gates’ sees the band take a leap forward, pushing themselves and evolving from their previous works."Compared to the first album, our style and writing evolved to be a lot more efficient,” says guitarist Bruno Blackstard. “in terms of riffs and melodies, as well as the progressive and slightly modernised production and ambience. Each song has its own universe and influences... from ambient to death-core, and even some post-hardcore vibes.” Reflecting on the project and what the band has achieved, Gondouin remarks: “This album illustrates all the doors we have tried to go through in our lives that lead to deception and disappointment… But we’re here, and happy to be back after these past 2 years, showing all we’ve got, and pursuing our dreams.”
