Desecration is a Welsh brutal death metal band, which has had some difficulties in the past (their covers have caused some serious disgust). The re-release of Desecration's Inhuman has a new cover and two bonus videos. After listening to this album (Inhuman) and the Murder in Mind, it becomes obvious that Desecration has improved a lot since the release of 'Murder in Mind'... In fact the band regards 'Inhuman' musically as their first proper release.

Songs are mediocre (for the most part), but occasionally there are quite catchy riffs. For example, 'Dig Up, Dig in' has quite a catchy riff. Also 'Asphyxiate on Blood' has some good riffs. However, there aren't enough good parts to lift this album from the valley of mediocrity. Also the guitar solos need work (they are mostly absurd noodling). I've never been a fan of the mindless snare drum beating either (which is especially common in the grindcore scene).

Sounds are ok... However, guitar leads got distorted every now and then (fortunately not too often). I haven't heard the original, though... So I can't compare the production to the original.

There are many death metal bands, which are way better than Desecration... I recommend this album to fans of Desecration (and fans of brutal death metal).
