INSOLVENT is a death metal band from Houston, Texas, formed in 2014. The origins of the group lie with the stunninglybrutal vocalist Alice Lima, who traveled to Houston from her native Brazil to visit family in 2010 only to unexpectedly find love in the Lone Star State. Alice met her husband Joe Lovchik at a rock show in Houston and emigrated to the U.S. soon after, leaving behind her band Tharsis as well as a law career to explore the muddy blackness of Houston’s spirited underground.

As the culture shock of the big move began to wear off at last, Alice set to work putting her own band together, deep in the heart of Texas. With her husband locking down the low end, she turned to another recent Texas transplant, guitarist Tom Longnecker of the New York death metal band Bloodseeker, to help forge a histrionic new sound. Nate Smith of Houston stoner-rock instrumentalists Alone on the Moon was installed behind the drum kit, and INSOLVENT was born – a modern, mature outfit influenced by the entire death metal pantheon from Obituary to Origin and ready for all-out aural assault on a world of compromised authority and bankrupt ideas.

Started back in 2009 by Josue and Stephan, the band has it’s roots in straight-forward thrash metal with influences of death, black, and hardcore punk. They recruited Joshua on bass and main vocals and John Fernandez of local band Annihilist on lead guitar and released a demo in 2011. Not long afterwards, John left to join Legion (now Mastema). The band then welcomed long-time friend Miguel Quiroz on lead guitar and released another demo in 2013. With the addition of Miguel, the band took on a heavier, dirtier sound. Unfortunately, schedulingfactors got in the way and Miguel had to leave the band. He is still behind the scenes and helps with guitar work, photography, and graphic layouts. With the lead guitar slot open, the band enlisted the shredding talents of Camilo from neighboring locals Toxic Steel. Camilo’s addition brought a more speed metal vibe to the dark, heavy sound and the band released Descent Into The Abyss, the band’s first full length album in January 2015. The band is working on a self-recorded, self-produced demo (Age of Aggression) scheduled for release for Summer 2016.
