Inhuman Condition (USA)

INHUMAN CONDITION: The New Kings of Old-School Florida Death Metal. TAMPA, FL – If you are looking for the pure, unadulterated spirit of classic death metal, look no further than Inhuman Condition. Rising from the swamps of Florida, this power trio creates music that is heavy, hook-laden, and undeniably lethal. Inhuman Condition is not just another band; it is a gathering of genre veterans. The group features the creative duo of Jeramie Kling (Vocals/Drums) and Taylor Nordberg (Guitar), joined by the legendary bassist Terry Butler (Obituary, Death, Six Feet Under, Massacre). Together, they channel the aggression and groove of the 1990s Florida scene while injecting a modern, razor-sharp production quality. Drawing on their shared history (formerly of Massacre), the band delivers neck-breaking riffs, searing solos, and a rhythmic intensity that demands headbanging. With critically acclaimed releases like Rat°God and Fears Sick, Inhuman Condition has proven they are not merely a nostalgia act, but a driving force in the modern metal landscape.

Ashen Tomb: The Rotting Sound of Finnish Old School Death Metal. Helsinki, Finland – Rising from the freezing depths of the Finnish underground, Ashen Tomb has quickly established itself as a formidable force in contemporary Death Metal. Channeling the filthy, cavernous spirit of the early 90s, the band offers a sound that is equal parts crushing doom and relentless aggression. Since their inception, Ashen Tomb has dedicated themselves to the worship of the riff. Their music is a distinct blend of American sludge and classic Finnish melancholy, characterized by guttural vocals, chainsaw guitars, and tempos that shift from graveyard trudges to manic blasts. With the release of their highly acclaimed debut album, Ecstatic Death Reign (2024), the band has proven they are not just reviving old ghosts, but forging a new path in the genre. Critics have praised the band for their ability to balance raw, organic production with sophisticated songwriting.
