HUMAN INFECTION - Gravesight
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
Here's another release that came out a few months ago which at first for some reason I wasn't into writing about. But going back to it I'm like holy shit this is cool. Now I'm wanna say this is a reissue because of the following. This album was originally recorded in 2017 but was de-laid and wasn't released until 2019. That was a self released CD by the band.This year Horror Pain Gore Death Productions decided to reissue it with extra tracks. So fuck it because it's new to me and it's damm good.
HUMAN INFECTION hail from Roanoke, Virginia and are old school death metal stalwarts. I've probably seen em at some Wednesday night show downtown years ago or the old local Death Fests (with 20 bands on the bill) back in 2010/2011 and I didn't get anything by em. The band started out in 2009 and has now three full lengths to their credit. Yep I probably missed em.
Now there's plenty to like about this release by HUMAN INFECTION but I'll start with the over the top drum work by CJ Giles. This guy is a maniac behind the drum kit. And it's his musicianship that gives this band a different take on the old school style of the death metal genre. I'll go out on a limb and say they're a US version of VADER.
HUMAN INFECTION has a lot more going for em along with drummer CJ Giles. But hey let's go for the combo of drum coordination with the riffs. And that brings in guitarist Andrew Mathews who rips out diabolical riffs all of the time. He does the dive bomb insane solos once in a while. But for me this is a riff master general. Whether it's head banging stuff or just mesmerizing riffs that have your mind saturated this guy does it.
Add to all of that you've got a evil bassist, Jeremiah Tuck, who joined a few years ago. The guy pushes the diabolical heaviness needed plus adds in some tech death bass leads which are cool. Finally there's vocalist Andrew Brown who has a maul baritone vocal as well as cool screams.
In the end HUMAN INFECTION are like VADER meets CANNIBAL CORPSE in a back alley, has a fight and then decides to drink a few beers afterward. This is a great death metal album.
