UMUR
"Betrayer of Humanity" is an EP release by Swedish thrash metal act Lunatic Brigade. The EP was independently released in September 2016. Lunatic Brigade formed in 2015 by among others the two former Hatred members Kenneth Wiklund (guitars) and Sonny Svedlund (drums).

Stylistically this is pretty standard US influenced thrash metal and it´s artists like Forbidden, Demonica, and Lunatic Brigade´s fellow countrymen in Mezzrow, who are the valid references. The music is well performed, and lead vocalist Matte Kärvemo has a raw yet melodic tinged delivery. Tight, thrashy, and powerful playing and some relatively memorable songwriting. Lunatic Brigade arguably know what they´re doing.

"Betrayer of Humanity" also features a sharp, powerful, and heavy sounding production job, which suits the material perfectly, and fans of any of the above mentioned artists should find a lot to appreciate here. It´s not exactly unique sounding or innovative in any way, but it´s a good quality release on all other parameters and a 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
