One of the very first Spanish Death Metal bands returns with a new and absolutely pulverizing album, proving there’s definitely something rotten in humanity.
One of the very first Spanish Death Metal bands, formed in the early 90’s from the ashes of Toxic Waste, Mallorca’s own entity Unbounded Terror is ready to unleash upon us all their fourth full-length offering, entitled Something Is Rotten In Humanity. Produced and recorded by the band’s own Vicente J Payá (Golgotha, Sons Of Cult) and mixed and mastered by Davide Billia (Avulsed, Holycide, Posthuman Abomination) at Mk2 Recording Studio, the new album by Andrew Espinosa on vocals and bass, and Ancor Ramírez and Vicente J Payá on the guitars, plus guests Davide Billia on drums and Alejandro Lobo on keyboards, sounds absolutely devastating, exactly how grim, rotten Death Metal should sound, and its ghastly demeanor is completed by the artwork of Juanjo Castellano (Furnace, Vomitory, Ribspreader), which captures that putrid spirit perfectly, being therefore highly recommended for fans of Paganizer, Carnation, Obituary, and Death, among several others.
The opener Fear of Dying sounds utterly brutal, heavy and evil from the very first second, with Andrew providing his welcome card by roaring deeply in the name of Death Metal accompanied by the massive beats by Davide, whereas Destiny of Evil is a short and sweet display of the band’s Death Metal savagery, with Ancor and Vicente hammering their stringed axes nonstop. They continue to deliver pure, unfiltered Death Metal in the also heavy and bludgeoning Demons in Your Mind, with Andrew barking nonstop while also firing low-tuned, rumbling bass jabs; and the band shows no mercy for our cranial skulls in Reviving, offering more of their rabid, deep growls, sick guitar lines and unrelenting drums.
The second half of the album begins in full force with Inside Death, where Davide smashes his drums with tons of fury and dexterity, resulting in pure, no shenanigans Death Metal for admirers of the genre. The band then enhances their animosity and heaviness considerably in The Disappointment, punching us hard in the face with their brutal and visceral sounds, followed by Divine Virtue, which sounds and feels a bit generic if compared to the rest of the album, although still showcasing the band’s characteristic Death Metal sonority. Ancor and Vicente extract sharp, piercing riffs from their axes in Believing Again, a ruthless display of classic Death Metal made in Spain spiced up by an ass-kicking guitar solo; and The Evil Cause offers us all one final onrush of deadly sounds by Unbounded Terror, with Davide dictating the song’s headbanging pace with his pulverizing drums.
In Something Is Rotten In Humanity, Unbounded Terror welcome us putrid humans to the world we have created, hewn from the raw substance of our greed and perversion, our endless fascination with cruelty and consumption, and you can experience all that in the form of their old school Death Metal music by purchasing a copy of the album from Xtreem Music’s BandCamp or webstore. Furthermore, don’t forget to give the band a shout (or maybe I should say an evil growl) on Facebook and on Instagram, and to stream their devilish creations on Spotify, because there’s definitely something rotten in humanity, and the classic Death Metal by Unbounded Terror is more than perfect to depict that evil that’s consuming our decaying world.
