Inhuman – Last Rites — I Scream, 2007

Inhuman have been around since the dawn of time. Well okay, fifteen years. They are always pegged as "The Most Underrated Band in NYHC". Quite a feat considering the number of bands that hail from the five boroughs that have been around for a decade and never got their comeuppances. I honestly haven't heard much from Inhuman besides a couple of compilation tracks that never made an impression so I don't know how Last Rites stacks up against their back catalog. Nevertheless, Inhuman does sound like a New York hardcore band with plenty of metallic riffs, some very stomp worthy mosh, a couple stabs at nu-metal/buttrock, and singer Mike Scondotto is a dead ringer for Lou Koller of Sick of it All. If you like NYHC then Inhuman will satisfy your dreams of you wanting to live in Queens and wear a matching velour track suit.

I don’t remember how, but I stumbled across Chicago’s Cel Ray in 2023 on the heels of their debut EP, Cellular Raymond. I was immediately hooked. After another EP and a single, the band finally brings us their debut long player, Cel Rayzer. To no surprise, it’s excellent. Cel Ray plays a brand of post-punk that’s lo-fi and streamlined.

God loves Nick Saloman, and from the heavens, the expulsion of the beloved archangel fell and spawned Horrorful Heights. A 20-track double-album behemoth. Eighty-eight minutes of musical mayhem. Who does that anymore? nobody. As they edit themselves down to make nice, safe Spotify playlists, Nick just dumps the whole glorious attic on your head like the wicked witch of the … Read more
