UMUR
"Rat°God" is the debut full-length studio album by US death/thrash metal act Inhuman Condition. The album was released through Listenable Insanity Records in June 2021. Inhuman Condition was formed in 2020 by guitarist Taylor Nordberg and drummer/vocalist Jeramie Kling after they departed Massacre. The band is named after Massacre´s 1992 "Inhuman Condition" EP. The trio lineup who recorded "Rat°God" is completed by bassist Terry Butler, who is also an ex-member of Massacre. Terry is of course quite the prolific death metal bassist having also played with/or is still playing with artists like Death, Obituary, and Six Feet Under.

So, with the names involved you´d expect this to sound a lot like Massacre, but although there are some similarities, Inhuman Condition are generally faster playing, a bit more technically well playing, and a lot more thrash metal influenced. This is still old school death metal but maybe a bit more Death (the band) influenced than Massacre influenced if you need a reference point. The above mentioned thrash metal influence is also very strong though and at times this is death/thrash metal rather than death metal. Kling is a nicely aggressive and intelligent growling vocalist and a great drummer to boot. There´s a great energy and forward drive in the way he plays, and the music is a result loaded with aggression, raw power, and intensity.

"Rat°God" features a raw, powerful, and detailed sounding production, and as the songwriting is effective and intense, and the musical performances on a high level on all posts, "Rat°God" is overall a high quality debut release from Inhuman Condition. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
