I had their "World of Ice" CD years ago. Didn't think much of it at the time, it was a bit too "happy happy" and twee sounding. The track posted above sounds better. Not quite as over-polished.

They sometimes sound like a mixture between Helloween and Stratovarius ...

I don´t think they fall under the "flower metal" category . Angra was the epitome of "Flower Metal" ...

That pretty much sums up 99 percent of European power metal bands.

For clarification purposes... "Flower Metal" is a blanket statement I use for nearly ALL the European Power Metal bands I've heard since the 90's when this crappy formulaic music started popping up. The Insania tune posted above, I knew exactly how the singer was gonna sound (pitch/tone/style) before he even opened his mouth.
Boring riffing... CHECK Basic Double Kick patterns... CHECK Keyboard carrying the melody... CHECK Neo-Classical phrasing in solos... CHECK
I bet Inasania has a tune or two that is pure "Painkiller" worship as well.
