Insanity Check

Insanity_Check
Insanity Check is a project by Topias Svärd from Turku, Finland. He is also known as ‘DJ Backstabber’ for his “Beats by the Dead” tape with ‘Shangó 404’ and as ‘8-Bitape’ for his two tapes “8-Bitape” and “8-Breeder”. These tapes have been baptized as chiphop by Scandinavian underground chiptune makers.

Insanity Check has worked for almost over five years on his debut album “Unrecoverable Reality“, which was released in early 2020. On this album Insanity Check created a mix of industrial, chiptunes, beats and metal. Not your usual ambient or vaporwave album; but highly appreciated by the community! It was also reviewd on the Dutch heavy metal website Zware Metalen .

Right after the release of Unrecoverable Reality Topias Svärd has said that he has started working on a follow-up album dealing with substance abuse. Expect another gem packed with chiptune, metal and classical music!

Unrecoverable Reality

After being in production for almost five years, the debut album “Unrecoverable Reality” by Insanity Check sees the light of day. On this album Insanity Check takes you back to a mix of an alternative Command & Conquer Red Alert soundtrack with underground Finnish beats and metal.

Besides music, the album delivers a strong message:
The story on the album is about the darkest time in my life. It was when my mental health started deteriorating really bad, and I became a serious hazard to myself. The point of the project is to highlight mental issues, and encourage people to seek help. It’s never too late!
