BETA Records - Your music matters!

It all began with a blast. The band, formerly called GL.A-Z was playing for almost six years in Montreal, until the moment, when personal and social points of view and opinions of the band’s former front man Stav and the rest of the gang went a bit too far apart. It became impossible to continue this amazing journey together. GL.A-Z has lost a number of extremely talented musicians during these six years because of the weirdest reasons, mostly of a personal nature…Nevertheless, the band has disintegrated as such, leaving four of the remaining musicians sitting together in an empty studio. To them, it was unthinkable to let go of what each of them was cherishing so much, and they have decided to continue with what was left of GL.A-Z.

At the beginning it was quite hard to switch from the “Russian Rock sung in Russian” style to something new (in English), that even today, the band can’t classify as a certain type of music. Experimenting was always one of the most important elements in music writing for all of the band members since the GL.A-Z days, but this time, they have decided to clarify their goals by introducing new elements into their pieces, but yet trying to follow a certain style, that they have selected after months of research.

All of the Insight Out members have a different musical background. Some are inspired by contemporary rock music, jazz, techno, atmospheric/psychodelic movements for others the list goes on up to the most brutal and merciless heavy metal. It was quite an amazing experience to throw all that into some kind of a melting pot, and witness the birth of something new and original. The combination of different movements and manners has enabled the musicians to compose songs that appeal to almost everyone. Heavy power cord riffs dissolve into moody and gentle melody with quiet, deep vocals that suddenly morph into something completely unexpected, supported by jazzy piano progressions, which in their turn interlace with heavy, ear blasting rhythm guitars.
