Biography:
From
2006 to present day Dying Humanity
have literally been breeding contempt and punishing the metal community with
their own brand of melodic death thrash. With four full length albums behind
them it is onward and upward for this quintet of krauts!
~~~~~~
The
title track of the album houses some very eastern sounding riffs that scorn and
finally explode into a malignant chaos! Very vocally engaging it strides into
the limelight and steals the show. Delusion
is a melodic battering of vibrant riffs and tempestuous beats that congeal into
a tempered aggression, however the clean vocal struggles to reach top notes.
Beyond Redemption can boast
some ‘closed eye’ moments when everything paints a landscape you want to be
part of. Its flanks of melodic grandeur are well-rounded and very appealing. I am King relentlessly offers
attention grabbing moments with throaty guttural growling and quickening riffs
that weave from within a beating rhythm. Psychotic
Illusion is an ambient track that broods with an underlying intrigue that
is attached to quickening drum beats, frenzied guitar and uncompromising bass
hooks.
Feed him to the Lions is a mesmerizing
track that sweeps over the audial with a melodic hand and feisty vocal surge.
It gallops at speed to an appealing barrage of riffs that never loosen their
grip through-out the tracks muscular structure. Oblivion is a slow paced track that sounds like it has Spanish
origins – played acoustically and beautifully showcasing the bands diversity as
being from one end of the scale to the next. Ashes of Destiny returns to a brain shaking and wild rampage of
pure driven aggression that is constantly evolving through its gigantic
soundscape and delivers a pulverizing blow.
Devious Greed again
offers no let up from its frantic speed fuelled hatred and provides many twists
and turns that will pull you from limb to limb.
Bloodshot Eyes is sadly
the final track on the album, I say sadly as this album has been a good solid
listen of rugged and rigorous! The savagery contained within the track boasts a
beauty known only to melo-death fans and runs away with first prize for being a
damn good listen.
Summary:
No
doubt about it Dying Humanity have a well-oiled and mature sound that is
instantly pleasing to the ears. Mainly the album is an aggression soaked and
hearty run through barbed wire with a blind fold on – truth is you are going to
get snagged on it somewhere along the line.
This
album is increasingly powerful and yet melodic with beautiful moments to savour
no matter what your mood.
