INHUMAN CONDITION - Mind Trap LP (Black Vinyl)

Never change a winning team is an often used sagacity, at least here in Germany. And quite often this has failed very badly. But that´s exactly what Floridian deathers Inhuman Condition have obviously promised to themselves. Starting with the cover which was once again created by Dan Goldsworthy where the band gets tortured by their cover mascot, the “Rat God” up to the music which hasn´t changed too much really since the guys founded the band back in 2021.

Just let me go back to that time if you aren´t trusted with the band. Maybe you know that “Inhuman Condition” once was a pretty cool old-school EP by Massacre in 1992 (and in my opinion together with the legendary debut “From Beyond” the only good release by the band). Together with Kam Lee, Taylor Nordberg and Jeramie Kling were members in Massacre in 2019/20 until the guys quit their job there because of some irreconcilable differences with Lee they just founded their own Massacre band (with material originally written for the upcoming Massacre album and with original founding member Terry Butler on board). So Inhuman Condition was spawn and since then the guys release quite regularly very entertaining groovy death metal albums.

Inhuman Condition once more have written a very good album that is perfect for a groovy beer (Erdinger alcohol-free) session at the pool. It is well-produced and there aren´t flaws to find. Maybe you can criticize that is too stereotype but when I listen to old-school death metal, I really don´t want any operas or experiments. Never change a winning team has succeeded this time for sure!
