He has turned his eye upon us and we have been found wanting, no longer fit for purpose. To the accompaniment of an orchestra of screams he deconstructs and reassembles the soft sacks of blood and gore, entrails and organs, brittle bones...exasperated by how easily we collapse into worthless crimson puddles. A new design is required, a new structure, something altogether more robust for these broken toys. He begins to work in earnest; dissecting and soldering, injecting and fusing, snapping and inserting - all the while plagued by that infernal cacophony of agony...
Posthuman Abomination have returned with their second album, Mankind Recall, once more putting the weak and flawed nature of humanity to a punishing examination of brutal death metal. Debut album, Transcending Embodiment was a devastating strike, forceful and intimidating in its muscular attack and Posthuman Abomination have built upon that adamantine skeleton, creating a cyborg war machine of heart stopping, destructive power. Mankind Recall attacks with inhuman precision; juddering, mechanistic and undefeatable. The songs effortlessly change gears from terrifying blasting velocity to measured, grinding riffs, the band switching tempo and direction with stunning control, never relenting in their hail of fire for a second. The jaw-dropping drum barrage supplied by Marco Coghe, who also provides live skin battery for Devangelic, is incomprehensible in its bewildering speed and intensity, but it’s matched at every turn by the inflammatory guitar work of Max Santarelli (Vomit The Soul) and bruising bass bludgeoning of Andrea Pillitu. Then over that carefully constructed engine of sonic violence a voice from the far side of hell intones its words of judgement; Lorenzo Orrù’s bowel bursting roars on tracks like ‘Null’ are truly second to none. Mankind Recall will take you to the brink of annihilation.
On May 6th Comatose Music will launch Mankind Recall and its payload of death at the world. Your perceptions of humanity will be shredded, your concept of reality shattered as Posthuman Abomination unveil their vision of a new world order. A product recall warning has been issued due to inherent weakness, intrinsic contamination and design faults that render the product both unsafe and unsuitable for continued existence. The product is you.
