In May 2006 Insistence was founded in Istanbul by Aytug SEKER and Murat Kaan OZOVEZ. After some rehearsals and demos, Cagri HALACOGLU joined to the band. So the framing line-up for INSISTENCE was completed.

 In this process, the first demo release “DRAIN” was taking on a shape with which they firstly attained to the audience. HASAN GOCMEN was taking place as vocal in these records. The feed back of “Drain” brought them to be the warm-up band for the concert of the EXODUS in Istanbul in 2006. Then a new leaf turned over and they released the second demo “MIND HEALING” featuring Mert PAPIK with vocals. The feed back of the second demo brought them an agreement with Atlantis Muzik. So INSISTENCE started to record the first debut album “COXISTENCE KEY” in 2007. They attained to the crew with visuality by recording a music video for a song from this album named “FILLER”. They received an invitation for UNIROCK 2008 Open Air Festival. After departuring from the festival with a successful performance, they still had the same problems about releasing the debut album. The problems reflected to the band and they entered a waiting process in October 2008 and April 2009. After 6 months, Mert PAPIK decided to split, and INSISTENCE decided to come together and started to look for another vocal for the band. After a while, Cagatay OZKAN charged with vocal duties and INSISTENCE started to continue on their way. They also decided to attain to the audience with their first debut album “COEXISTENCE KEY” which they wanted to be downloaded through internet free and unlimited. And now… After July 2009, the before mentioned album “COEXISTENCE” is able to be downloaded free from the band’s official website: www.insistencemetal.com

INSISTENCE tries to go great guns with taking place in the same stages with the prestigious bands like EXODUS, CALIBAN, TESTAMENT, OPETH. In July 2009, INSISTENCE, which fit 2 demo and a debut album between 2006-2009, continues to work on their second album and performing on prestigious concerts.
