Surprisingly Brilliant

Unhuman's self-titled 2013 album is one of the most formidable slabs of progressive death metal to be released in years. I wasn't expecting much when I checked it out on a whim, but this album's musicianship, songwriting, and variety completely blew me away. The imagination of experimental metal has been perfectly fused with the precision of technical death metal to create songs that pack a relentless heavy punch, yes, but also are all very memorable and dynamic with lots of delicious little melodies mixed in. And of course, this review wouldn't be complete without mentioning the vocalist. I don't usually pay much attention to the vocals in death metal, but this vocalist can do some insane things with his voice and it really adds to the alien-like aesthetic of their sound. I look forward to hearing more from this promising band in the future. I highly recommend this album to anyone who is interested in new and unique variety of death metal from a band that needs and deserves recognition.

Highlights: Chaotic Equilibrium, Douces Pensées..., Mutants War, Sécheresse, Once Again, (In)human Being, Individual Timeless Reality
