Humangled/Odd Ethnics/Abyss Records/2012 CD Review


  Humangled  are  a  band  from  Italy  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with  a  musical  style  that  I  would  describe  as  being  brutal  death  metal  with  a  grindcore  edge  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "Odd  Ethnics"  which  was  released  by  Abyss  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  a  good  amount  of  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being  thrown into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  brutal  death  metal  riffs  that  also  utilize  some  gindcore  and  thrash  influences  as  well  as  some  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  as  well  as  some  soft  and  clean  playing  and  there  are  no  guitar  solos  or  leads  present  on  this  recording.

  Vocals  range  from  deep  death  metal  growls  to  high  pitched  screams  that  have  a  grindcore  feeling to  them,  while the  lyrics  cover  gore  and  hateful  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sound  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  recording  from  Humangled  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Skinned  To  Feel"  and  "Deny  Your  Creed".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
