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.

Red Asphalt
Relapse (2026)

There are few bands in extreme metal who understand their own lane as well as Exhumed. For nearly three decades, Matt Harvey and company have made gore feel theatrical, technicality feel fun, and deathgrind feel almost celebratory. Red Asphalt doesn’t rewrite that formula but weaponizes it, straps it into the driver’s seat, and floors the accelerator straight into oncoming traffic. … Read more

Dirt Cult (2026)

Ok full disclosure, I sung backups on (allegedly) three of these songs and one song is a cover (albeit a stretch lol) of a song I co-wrote. What can I say tho? I was a fan of The Dumpies from the get go, before we all became very close friends and constant tour mates! Dub music diehards might be a … Read more
