Insidious^[1] is the fifth album by the melodic death metal band Nightrage. The album was released on 26 September in Europe and a day later in North America (27 September) through German label, Lifeforce Records. The Japanese version of the album includes a cover of Def Leppard's "Photograph".

The song Wrapped In Deceitful Dreams references in the lyrics "Seas Of Eternal Silence" which may refer to the Sweet Vengeance song At The Ends Of The Earth or the 1997 Exhumation (Marios Iliopoulos' former band) album by the same name.

Insidious is the first Nightrage album in the band's history to feature the same line up as the previous album.
