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.

When Horror dropped last year, it was well worth the privileged price of entering the collected world of The Mekons. I was lucky enough to find their first LP—"The Quality Of Mercy Is Not Strnen"—in a thrift store many blood moons ago. This began my foray into the ever-changing world of The Mekons and their many ever-changing forays into the … Read more
