UMUR
"Never Ending Nightmares" is the debut full-length studio album by Swedish death metal act Humanity Delete. The album was released through Dead Beat Media in December 2012. Humanity Delete is a one-man project by prolific musician Rogga Johansson (Demiurg, Ribspreader, Paganizer...among others) who plays and sings everything on the album excluding the guitar solos which are handled by Lasse Pyykkö from Finnish doom/death metal act Hooded Menance.

Most of Rogga Johansson´s projects are rooted in old school death metal (and to a lesser extent old school thrash metal) and the same can be said about the music on "Never Ending Nightmares". However it´s not business as usual as "Never Ending Nightmares" features quite a few grindcore and crust elements like D-beat drumming, short song lengths and a sound production that is more in grindcore territory than in death metal ditto. It´s still predominantly a death metal album though. Something that is fully established by the deep growling vocals. The standard of the output is not surprisingly of high quality. It´s seldom any of Rogga´s projects have disappointed me and Humanity Delete is no different.

Rogga has never aimed at inventing the wheel and "Never Ending Nightmares" is not an original sounding release by any means. However the music is professional sounding, well played and well written. Solid, brutal and effective. This is inspired and delivered with conviction which is probably the most important thing, when you´re not aiming at sounding original. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
