"Demons Of Insanity - Chapter Five"
(Crash Music)

Metalium Metalium was one of the most successful bands in 1999. Their debut release, "Millennium Metal - Chapter One," attained the highest chart entry in Germany which a heavy metal debut could attain. This was followed by three more releases, "State Of Triumph - Chapter Two," "Hero Nation - Chapter Three" and "As One - Chapter Four." The line up of the three original members, Henning Basse (vocals), Matthias Lange (guitar) and Lars Ratz (bass) are now joined by two new members which has seen Metalium morph from a project into a solid band.

The success story of Metalium continues with their highly awaited fifth studio release, "Demons Of Insanity - Chapter Five." Reaching a new level in both the lyrical conception story of the Metalian as well as the musical development of the band. After several European tours, a tour of Japan and several festival appearances along with four successful albums behind them, the four piece again didn't care about trends of the scene, but were still able to make an impressive step ahead. Metalium's solid ingredients such as the strong riffing, solid energy, high instrumental performance as well as Henning Basse's outstanding vocal abilities, underlines their unique class in today's international metal scene. In support of this album the band will make their way to the USA to do some key metal fest dates.
