Merging brutal death metal with technical prog-rock & jazz-fusion isn't really a new thing, as classic acts such as Death, Atheist, Pestilence, and Cynic were spearheading that movement roughly 25 years ago, but there have been numerous bands that have popped up over the years who have successfully carried on that tradition to keep challenging, complex extreme metal alive. Add Costa Rica's Inhuman to that list, who are releasing their sophomore album Conquerors Of The New World on Satanath Records/Sevared Records. Made up of vocalist Sergio Munoz, bassist Carlos Venegas, guitarist Jonathan Sanchez, and drummer Eduardo 'Tato' Chaves, Inhuman bludgeon your senses throughout this latest platter of violent mayhem, delivering technical precision ("Extermination By Depopulation"), majestic death metal/prog/jazz ("Conquerors Of The New World"), and full throttle ferocity ("Feed on Human Flesh" and "Stabbed to Death"). The instrumental talents of the band cannot be denied, as drummer Chaves flails away underneath an endless barrage of shifting guitar riffs and tasty, jazz flavored bass lines courtesy of Venegas, who really is the MVP of this recording with his muscular, acrobatic style that is always easily heard in the mix. Though Munoz might be the least impressive of the four, his traditional styled death metal growls and bellows fit the music just fine, helping to make Conquerors of the New World a tech-death album worth checking out.
