1. Insanity U.S.A Formed In 1985 Bay Area Band Insanity Were Instrumental In Metal's Evolution From Thrash To Death Metal. Drummer Bud Mills Was A Big Reason Why As His So-Called "1-1" Beat Presaged The Modern Blastbeat. The Band's Sound More Than Lived Up To Its Name. Not Only Did It Crank Thrash Up To Frenzied Warp Speeds It Also Displayed Chops Well Ahead Of Its Time.
