Some reviews!
INHUME -
"In for the Kill"
- 16 Songs - 31:58 - Osmose Productions
Wer schon immer seine
Nachbarn auf die Palme bringen wollte, der sollte sich "In for the kill" zulegen
und auf volle Pulle auflegen und ein Besuch von den netten Männern im grünen
Anzug ist gewiss. Was Inhume hier auf "In for the kill" so alles auskotzen ist
schon ziemlich beachtlich. Musikalisch eher im Grindcore als im Death Metal
Bereich angesiedelt geben die Jungs hier 16 Songs zu besten, die alles andere
als leicht verdaulich sind. Der Drummer prügelt geradezu auf sein Instrument
ein, als wollte er es zerstören und am krassesten agiert hier der "Sänger". Ich
kann mir einfach nicht vorstellen, dass dieser Mensch noch eine normale Stimme
hat...klingt so als hätte da einer Raucherkrebs im absoluten Endstadium und
würde seine letzten Flüche hier rausgrunzen. Auf Dauer ist mir "In for the kill"
wirklich zu anstrengend, denn auch wenn es schon verdammt fett rüber kommt und
man hier seine Aggressionen ausleben kann wie auf kaum einem anderen Werk, so
ist es auch etwas zu einseitig. Prügelfetischisten, die eh nichts auf Melodien
und technisch versierte Songs geben, werden "In for the kill" lieben, soviel ist
sicher. Aber die Stimme des Sängers, die im Laufe der Scheibe auch noch variiert
wird mit krassem heiseren Geschrei, gibt mir dann doch den Todesstoss. Dauernd
könnte ich mir die Band sicherlich nicht geben...und man schaue sich erstmal das
Cover an. Mensch sind die Jungs durchgeknallt...!

INHUME -
"In for the Kill"
(2003) CD
Inhume continue with the same torture tactics with this, their 2nd full length
album, as they have utilized before this. All-around brutal death 'n' grind
metal is easy way to describe the sound what Inhume make.
Inhume's style haven't changed much from their first demo released back in 1995.
Shortish (from under a half a minute to 3+ minutes), brutal blasts of violence
and gore is what Inhume do. Even though the band's style can't be called
original, it has one big plus compared to many a grind metal band: The songs are
complete, not just short repeating of the same riff and beat, but no solos or
guitar leads either. I quess it is those death metal influences, then, that make
this more interesting in my ears. Inhume do not slip once from their brutal
ways, not for very long time, just for some more groovy parts. The album is
short, but still this 30+ minutes of mayhem is enough, in my opinion, because of
the similarity of the material.
The sound is massive and raw as a eating still steaming intestines, but whereas
those guts are slippery and uneasy to digest without making a mess, 'In for the
Kill' is well-balanced and meaty sounding album. One of the best in its kind,
never polished but more like live sound. Powerhouse drumming is something worth
the mention, even though not totally flawless, but with this pace it is an
achievement. Vocals are, surprise, done in two different voices; one gut-dep
growl and the other is boisterous throat ripping shreaking.
One of those grind metal albums that interest me. And since I'm not following
the scene, I think that is enough written. Does what the album's title promises.
Nice cartooney cover art, by the way.

INHUME - "In for the Kill"
It appears that Osmose is delving into the Netherlands' deep brutal death metal
scene. Last year they signed Houwitser, now they snatch up Inhume. Inhume
started their career about nine years ago. Their death/ grind sound drew heavily
from bands like Carcass, Napalm Death, and Terrorizer. Several line-up changes
ensued but Inhume recorded several demos and seven inches. In 2000 they released
their debut, Decomposing from Inside. A four song demo, which included a cover
of Regurgitate's "Genital Cancer" caught the ear of Osmose who signed Inhume for
In for the Kill.
This is truly an extreme record. The pace is blindingly fast and chaotic,
occasionally you can make out some cool guitar riffs, but the concentration is
on speed. The vocals are ridiculously poor. Not only are they in that gurgling,
inhuman vein but often they are so low in the mix that the band would sound
better without them. Only some killer brutal riffs save In for the Kill from
being a total mess. Carcass and Napalm Death did this way better fifteen years
ago. If you want great gore grind just visit any band on Razorback Records'
roster.

INHUME - "In for the Kill"
Without any doubt, this is the best Inhume ever. Goregrind with two-minute
average songlength topped by excellently clear and crushing production. Songs,
which use grind and death metal elements, are played with muting enthusiasm, and
the vocalists excellent contribution guarantees the quality.
The basics are handled with mere perfection.

Osmose/Zomba Distribution
Mooi hoesje, 16 tracks in 32 minuten en bovenal
meedogenloze no-nonsense grindcore. Vooral door dat laatste kun je Inhume tot
een uitstervend ras rekenen. Negen jaar lang hebben zij in diverse bezettingen
honderden podia onveilig gemaakt. Letterlijk onveilig ja, want je zou zomaar een
gestrekt been of halve flikflak op je adamsappel kunnen oplopen, mocht je het in
je lelijke hoofd halen het podium te beklimmen. Keer op keer is het genieten om
deze vleesgeworden driftbui te zien gassen! Helaas is het Nederlandse publiek
vaak niet meer dan een kudde klapvee in Zandzakkenland, vooral de randstad weet
de kroon te spannen…Maar goed! In vergelijking met de ‘Decomposed From The
Inside’-CD en de ‘Relapse Dutch Assault’-tracks klinkt deze plaat als van een
andere planeet. Niet dat de eerder genoemde opnames slecht waren, maar dìt is
het gewoon! Dit is Inhume zoals het bedoeld is! Drie stemmen, twee zangers,
zoals gezegd een prachtig krachtig totaalgeluid en Roel op drums. Godnondeju,
hij is er zeker eentje van Timmermans zou m’n moeder zeggen, wat een houthakker,
geweldig! Terrorizer wordt altijd als vergelijking aangehaald, ikzelf neig meer
naar ouwe Nasum, Necrony en Dahmer. Ik heb verder niks meer te zeggen. Inhume +
superproductie = blind grind aanschaffen. Wat kan het leven soms eenvoudig zijn…

INHUME - "In For The Kill"
(Osmose/Indigo) (31:58)
Was für ein geiles Gerödel! INHUME platzieren sich mit "In
For The Kill" endgültig in der ersten Grind-Liga. Die Holländer spuken schon
seit Ewigkeiten in der Szene herum und rumpeln inzwischen mit einer
hochenergischen Perfektion durch ihre Blast-Attacken, die immer wieder durch
brillante Extrem-Thrash-Beats aufgelockert werden. Das Brüll-Kreisch-Frontduo
geifert dabei durch leckere Titel wie ´Blood Orgy At 7th Street´ und
´Incineration Of The Body By Own Will´. Das Sextett schafft die perfekte
Gratwanderung zwischen Stumpfheit und einem gewissen technischen Anspruch. Denn
Grindcore mag zwar generell von Großteilen der Metal-Szene belächelt werden,
erfordert handwerklich aber mehr als nur ein Faible für abartigen Krach. Massiv
schädelspaltend!

INHUME - "In for the Kill" (Osmose
Productions, 2003)
Dutch death-grinders Inhume have found a new home at Osmose and celebrate it by
treating us to their brand new album _In for the Kill_, a sixteen song journey
into the depths of torture, mania and mayhem. Those familiar with their previous
albums don't need any further introduction and only need to be assured that the
songs are even more violent and the production has turned up a notch. Those not
familiar with the band should feel very ashamed of themselves, and then be on
their way to the record store. Why? Tight drumming, a dense bass-guitar layer,
and excellent grunting -- guttural, yet reaching highs and lows in frequency.
Inhume is still top-notch entertainment for those who've become bored with
Cannibal Corpse's umpteenth album yet refuse to sacrifice listening to quality
material.

INHUME - In For The Kill -
Netherlands - 2003
"In For The Kill". Well, it's obvious that those nice Dutchmen haven't come here
to amuse you, but mostly to decimate your ranks with their ranger boots, and
then to achieve you with baseball bats… This Grindcore band has already begun to
get its name out lately, but now they are opening to themselves the door that
will give them the access to the first league, with an album that really
efficient in this violent Grindcore style.
It's blasting all the way, the drummer is on full speed, the guitars are really
strong and groovy, and the singers are tearing their voices apart, whether
singing like a huge disgusting pig, or like a profound psycho locked in an
asylum. "In For The Kill" will make you remember the best years of Grindcore,
may it be with old CARCASS or REGURGITATE. Of course, those who don't like noise
that much will go elsewhere and check if we're still there, but anyway, after a
few beers, here's a band that will give you some energy and the will to go
headbanging while kicking your neighbours! (Online October 10, 2003)

INHUME - In For The Kill
16 tracks - playing time: 31:58 min. Osmose Productions
What do you get when you combine insane screaming vocals, unearthly guttural
vocals, a frantic drummer, barbaric string bashers and one of the most intense
live performances I`ve ever seen? INHUME off course!!! These Dutch intestine
tossers have built quite a respectable name for themselves and with their latest
output In For The Kill their star will rise to even greater heights.
16 tracks of insanely aggressive gore grind are fired upon the innocent and if
you`re not man (or woman) enough to endure it you get hurt. Hurt really
bad…which is what Inhume are aiming for off course. This is an ongoing avalanche
of superior played grind with lyrics literally splattering in your ears, puked
out by a duo of depraved vocalists.
When the blood and puss is dripping out of your ears and you beg for mercy they
will surely not give it. Never! Track after track grinds the bones of the
unlucky that fell into the clutches of these psycho`s.
With this type of music it`s essential you listen to it a few times before you
judge it. The first time you listen to the album all the tracks sound more or
less the same and the album rages on and on like a bull on speed, but after a
few times the tracks will get their own identity more and more. Track 11 for
example, “Bowel Movement” was also recorded for the Osmose promo which was later
released as part of the Dutch Assault Compilation released by Relapse (a review
can be found here ). This is my personal favorite but maybe this is because I
already knew this track some time. Anyway, listen to In For The Kill and prepare
to be shredded to pieces.

INHUME - In For The Kill - Osmose
Productions - 2003
Het Noord-Limburgse Inhume staat al vele jaren garant voor een portie grindcore
waarbij het je dun door de broek loopt. Deze mannen die duidelijk van aanpakken
weten, zijn ook buiten onze landsgrenzen een graag geziene live band en ik durf
te beweren dat hun no-nonsence mentaliteit daar zeker aan bijdraagt. Drie jaar
na de release van voorganger "Decomposing From The Inside" slaat Inhume weer
spijkerhard toe. Drummer Roel verkoos een terugkeer naar Inhume boven een
verblijf bij God Dethroned (waar hij werd opgevolgd door Arien van Weesenbeek)
en ik denk dat beide bands daar de vruchten van geplukt hebben.
Al vanaf het eerste moment doet "In For The Kill" zijn naam eer aan. Op
duizelingwekkende snelheid vliegen alle bekende grindcore-elementen, verpakt in
16 nummers met een totale lengte van een goed half uur, je om de oren. De
productie (Franky's Recording Kitchen) is vet als de blubber maar tevens enorm
transparant als het om het gitaargeluid gaat. Beide zangers wisselen elkaar
prima af met de diepe grunts en smerige screams en het geheel wordt door drummer
Roel retestrak aan elkaar getimmerd. Ik denk dat het best gerechtvaardigd is als
ik beweer dat "In For The Kill" geen spaan heel laat van zijn voorganger.
Met dit album laat Inhume alle Nederlandse en ook het merendeel van de
buitenlandse grindcore bands hun hielen zien. De band is dermate vaak live op
het podium te vinden dat ze ontlopen me godsonmogelijk lijkt. Samen met
"Gormageddon" van het Belgische Aborted is "In For The Kill" de beste grindcore
release van 2003!

Osmose Productions/Next Music
Depuis presque dix ans qu'Inhume traîne son grind/death putride un peu partout,
sa réputation dans l'underground n'est plus à faire, surtout comme groupe de
scène, et sa signature avec Osmose Prod va enfin lui permettre de passer à la
vitesse supérieure.
Après des années marquées par d'incessants problèmes de line up et un premier
album "Decomposing From Inside" qui avait finalement vu le jour en 2000 chez
Bones Brigade, Inhume se devait en effet de transformer l'essai. Et on peut dire
que c'est chose faite avec ce "In For The Kill", qui contient tous les
ingrédients de tout album grind/death qui se respecte: rythmiques ultra
brutales, tempo bloqué sur 250 bmp, vocaux barbares et hurlements hystériques,
production crûe et agressive à souhait, qui renvoient à l'époque bénie où
Carcass, Napalm Death ou Terrorizer régnaient en maîtres sur le petit monde du
grindcore.
En 16 titres et un peu plus d'une demie-heure, Inhume annihile toute résistance,
n'ayant de cesse de laminer nos conduits auditifs et de nous exploser la tête.
Ca fait mal mais on en redemande !

INHUME - In For The Kill - Osmose
Productions, 2003
This is intense, bonegrinding grindcore inspired by bands like Carcass, Napalm
Death and Terrorizer. These Dutch guys have been together since 1994 and have
featured musicians who have played with other well-known bands from the country
such as God Dethroned and Sinister. Now it's time for their second
(de)composition of light speed songs with ultraguttural vocals and sick Autopsy
styled lyrics. They have also signed a new record deal with French specialists
Osmose Productions who always managed to find extreme quality acts and should be
able to give Inhume the support which they need and deserve. 16 tracks in 32
minutes means that these guys shred away at a furious pace right from the start.
Not the absolute best the genre has to offer but it is well played, tight and
definitely of interest if this is your cup of blood (sorry, my puns get worse
and worse, I know...). No rest given, no prisoners taken, this is music
exclusively meant for those of you twisted individuals who are "in for the
kill".

INHUME (HOLLAND) IN FOR THE KILL
(32:00) OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS
Most grinders are already familiar with one of the leading acts from the Dutch
grindcore scene, Inhume. Quite a few releases have already settled the name for
a huge amount of sicko’s all around the world. The heaviest strike was done with
their debut album “Decomposing From Inside”, which was released by the highly
acclaimed label Bones Brigade. The band gained the main attention of both fans
and press, it got great reviews and that is why everyone was waiting for the
follow-up by these Dutch rotten freaks!
It was a long wait for the die-hard fans. Three long years for the new attack…
But let’s be honest, this was worth even a ten-year long wait if necessary.
Goddamn, I have been blown to bits and pieces by this new album. Some people say
that the first album won’t ever be equalled. Fuck them! This is far more brutal
and the main thing is not a musical change, because the that's somewhat the same
from its predecessor, but it’s a production-aspect that made this album being
one sickening maggot pile. The main thing that pops in mind while playing the
album is something like: “Damn, this is pure terror”. The hysterical vocals, the
immense speeds and the thundering drums make this just one rush, for the first
listen. More spins will turn your mind, and this one will develop itself in to a
revolting clot of rotting bowels, which is called Inhume. Definitely and
indispensable Inhume. I have nothing to complain actually, but I would like to
hear some more slow and groovy parts. That makes this album a little more
varied, but that doesn’t make this album a band one. Because if you like a
fucking heavy grindcore album, pick this one. And play this LOUD you pussies!

Inhume 'In For The
Kill' 2003 | Osmose/MIM
Inhume have unleashed their sick madness once again in the form of a mutilated
piece of grotesque art named “In For The Kill” , which is the follow up to their
disgusting debut “Decomposing From The Inside”.
There is no mercy here, only full steam ahead grind in its filthy best , if you
are expecting something nice , go somewhere else , because here you will find
maggot ridden , chainsaw guitar laden ,blast beat hammered artistic filth in its
very ugly form.
There is absolutely no question that Inhume do what they do well, it seems that
there is starting to become quite a stir (for a better word…) for grind in its
extreme form that is represented all the way through “In For The Kill”.
These guys have what it takes to make you sick and regurgitate every single note
on this album and for this full marks go to them.
The production is flawless in its relation to the music and with song titles
like “Fucked With Paranoia”, “Blood Orgy At 7th Street “ and the brutal “Genetic
Intervention” , who would want it to sound as if it came out of a crystal clear
production house, this is where “In For The Kill” has character .
Standout songs for me where “Scourging” , “ Profound Presumption “ and “Inhume”.
If you are looking for something with a bit of extra kick in your diet then “In
For The Kill “ is just what you need.

In For The Hume
“The new Inhume… that must be a great album” was my first thought when seeing
this new release. And I was not far from the truth; the new Inhume entitled “In
For The Kill” is indeed a great record. Despite it not being completely my style
as there’s lots of screaming in it, which I’m not a big fan of. I’m more into
just the plain grunts and growls but there’s plenty of that on this disc as
well.
The Dutch grindcore pride Inhume has been together for 9 years now and this is
only their second full length album. Seems pretty weird, but it does suit the
scene, I guess. They’ve released a couple of split CDs and demo’s, which are all
self produced. Now they have signed a deal with Osmose Productions, marking an
important step in getting bigger and better as a band. They absolutely have what
it takes to become a big name in the grindcore scene (if they aren’t already).
If you don’t already know them that is because the name, you will soon enough.
Inhume is spreading faster than the deadliest disease around. You’ll be wiped
away before you know you even got hit by this brutal and fast playing monster.
With a great brutal grunt, sick screams, heavy guitar work and always plowing
blast beats. There are sixteen blasting songs on this album clocking no longer
than three minutes with exception of one track. This album truly gives you the
whole grinding deal, inspired by bands like Napalm Death and Carcass. They
produced a great album that proves them ready to leave the small country of
Holland and conquer the whole of Europe with their ruthless grind.
This will not be the last we hear from Inhume, they are currently touring
through Europe with Exhumed and Cephalic Carnage, both bands from the USA. If
they play in your area some time, you should absolutely go and see them raise
some hell and stack some corpses… They deserve it.

INHUME (NL) IN FOR THE KILL
With their second full length the Dutch maniacs of Inhume deliver the filthiest
album of the year. The album is full of soiled grunts, disregarded growls,
crumpled screams, drums as tight as the body of Elle Macpherson, guitars with
the intensity of a blast-furnace and a vicious dirty bass that make your blood
boil.
This well organised cumbersome violent noise attack is divided into 16 deathly
grind masterpieces. The production is major which gives the album a very rich
brutal sound. It makes cotton buds unnecessary to get your earwax out. It feels
as if the band is playing behind you on full power and attacks your auditory
centre. Never has a torture orchestra been such a pleasure. So watch out,
because the glorious convulsions of this death squad are driven on anger and
could be your fatal crash. But if you know how to handle it, it's like heaven on
earth, as if you're having sex with Salma Hayek in "From death till dawn".
Inhume definitely steamroller their opponents and "In for the kill" is the
inaccessible merciless ruler of the year.

INHUME - IN FOR THE KILL - OSMOSE
Inhume is the post-apocalyptic cousin to Napalm Death. The best representative
for the band's all-out grindcore assault is the creature on the cover of the
album. He is out to kill, rape and ravage and will not take 'no' for an answer.
The vocals are of the 'tunnel-of-wind' variety, the drums blast to eternity and
the guitars outlast the drive of a buzzsaw by a long shot. Having said that, In
For The Kill commits the deed via sixteen songs in just half and hour. With a
tempo change as likely on an Inhume album as something nutritious in a bucket of
KFC, the Dutch monomaniacs have created the year's ultimate tribute to
(a)musical insanity.

INHUME - In for the Kill - Osmose
Dutch grinders Inhume are back with their second full-length after 3 and a half
year. It’s their debut on Osmose and it’s a fucking smack in the face. 16 tracks
of relentless grind and played as tight as an infant’s arsehole. The album was
recorded almost live in Franky’s Recording Kitchen and it really sounds brutal.
The sound is really good if you compare this to the big pile of grindcore
releases. In for the Kill is also the last recording on which you can hear
vocalist Johan, who has left the band. But according to their last
live-performances they managed to get a proper replacement to carry on in the
dual vocal-style Inhume always had. There’s really not much more to tell about
this album ‘because it simply speaks for itself when listening to it. Indeed one
of the most brutal releases from Holland this year.

INHUME - CD IN FOR THE KILL
Você gosta de Grindcore misturado a um Ultra-Brutal Death Metal? Mas seja
sincero em sua resposta, pois você pode se arrepender ou ficar com medo. Sim,
pois o Inhume é simplesmente uma das bandas mais agressivas, rápidas e bestiais
da Holanda. Tudo aqui é feito a base de extrema brutalidade e profunda agressão,
sonora e retórica, pois títulos como "Bitch Redecoration", "Fucked With
Paranoia", "Blood Orgy At 7th Street" e "Sodomizing Encounter" não me deixam
mentir. A prudução é muito boa, coisa muito rara quando tratamos de Grind tão
violento e caótico. Dois vocais, um muito grave e gutural e outro agudo e
agonizante brigam para ver qual seria o mais agressivo, e fica a dúvida... Dou
um conselho, nunca chegue perto de nada que o Inhume ja fez se você não for um
iniciado nas artes brutais. Amigo é quem avisa...

INHUME - In for the Kill
Jakoś tak się złożyło, że Inhume to następna holenderska kapela, której płytę
mam przyjemność recenzować, choć przyjemność słuchania tego wydawnictwa dla
wielu będzie pewnie pojęciem względnym. "In For The Kill" jest pozycją
zdecydowanie skierowaną głównie do fanów grind core (czytaj: stare Carcass,
Regurgitate, Napalm Death) i gore (choćby, dla przykładu, Mortician). Krew leje
się tu hektolitrami, zapach świeżego mięska wisi w powietrzu, towarzysząc nam od
początku do końca tego jakże morderczego albumu.
I nie ma w tym, co napisałem, zbyt dużej przesady, bo album faktycznie jest jak
na tak wydawałoby się ograny gatunek czymś, na czym warto na te 30 minut
zawiesić ucho - uważajcie jednak, by w trakcie konsumowania przypadkiem go nie
stracić.
Szesnaście kompozycji (najdłuższa trwa ponad 3 minuty), które tu znajdziemy,
zapierdalają niczym Pan Samochodzik swoim pojazdem po Polsce, urywając łeb
każdemu słuchaczowi.
Duża w tym zasługa produkcji tego albumu, która po prostu miażdży. Jeśli dodać
do niej znakomite umiejętności muzyków - tu głównie pochwały należą się
perkusiście, wyciągającemu nieziemskie prędkości, oraz wokaliście, który bardzo
konkretnie drze mordę - od niskiego, typowego, "świńskiego" bulgotania, po
kontrastujące, charakterystyczne dla gatunku "piski" - to wychodzi z tego płyta,
której żaden fan wyżej wymienionych klimatów nie może sobie darować.
Idealne zgranie wszystkiego powoduje, że krążka słucha się doskonale i nie jest
to bynajmniej jakiś przypadkowy zlepek dźwięków, tylko doskonale przemyślana
"maszynka", skonstruowana w wiadomym dla wszystkich celu. Może nim być choćby
doprowadzenie odpoczywających po pracy sąsiadów, słuchających kojących audycji
Radia Maryja [Ma Pyszczek! - Thaumiel], do skrajnego obłędu... niby nic, a
jednak ile czasem daje to radości!

INHUME - In for the Kill - CD -
Osmose Productions
Inhume on ehtinyt jo toiseen täyspitkäänsä, jolla meno tuntuu kiihtyvän
entisestään. Nämä puukenkien maasta tulevat veikkoset soittavat kiivasta
grindcorea, jossa on hyvin goremaiset lisämausteet. Vaikuttajina ovat toimineet
ainakin Carcass, Napalm Death ja Terrorizer, mutta lyriikat muistuttavat
vahvasti Autopsyn vastaavia.
Materiaalia voi hyvällä syyllä sanoa äärimmäiseksi, sillä Inhume ei juurikaan
löysäile, vaan intensiivinen räiske on pääosassa. Kitarat ovat soundeiltaan
sopivan likaiset ja maukkaita riffejäkin kuulee siellä täällä, mutta nopeimmissa
kohdissa mennään melkein kaaoksen puolelle. Rumpalin suoritus ja aika
luonnollisen kuuloiset rumpusoundit ovat ne asiat, jotka on pakko nostaa levyn
ansioiksi, sillä ne nostavat tämän tuotoksen tasoa reippaasti. Vokaalit ovat
mielestäni levyn huonointa antia, vaikka niissä onkin vaihtelua kurnutuksesta
kimakkaan hardcoremaiseen kiljuntaan. Örinää ja huutoa on niin monen tasoista,
ainakin hyvää ja huonoa. Tässä on apinoitu vanhan Nappiksen vokalisointia
huonolla tuloksella.
Muistaakseni Inhumen varhainen split-EP Bloodin kanssa toimi suhteellisen hyvin
ja viihtyi levylautasellani useinkin, mutta isompi annos tuntuu hyvin
puuduttavalta. En tiedä onko syy persoonallisuuden puutteessa, heikoissa
vokaaleissa vai missä, mutta luulen, etten palaa tämän tuotoksen pariin pitkiin
aikoihin.

INHUME - In For The Kill - Jaar van
release: 2003 Label: Osmose Productions
Grindliefhebbers kunnen weer in hun met bloed besmeurde slagershanden wrijven,
want deze Nederlandse herrieschoppers hebben met "In For the Kill" een
uitstekende tweede album afgeleverd. Inhume heeft in het verleden met
veelvuldige optredens en de goed ontvangen debuutplaat "Decomposing From Inside"
al een stevige reputatie opgebouwd, en daar zal "In For the Kill" alleen maar
een bevestiging van zijn.
De lompe, brute afbeelding op de hoes (een beetje cartoon-achtig getekend) is
zeer representatief voor de muziek van Inhume. De band wordt vaak met Terrorizer
vergeleken, en dat hoor ik ook wel in de sound terug, maar tijdens het luisteren
van "In For the Kill" moest ik ook even aan het wat oudere, extreme werk van
Nasum denken. Snelle, brute grindcore zonder ruimte om even op adem te komen,
dus. Afgezien van wat sporadisch voorkomende mid-tempo stukken, is dit een half
uur durend blastfest. Aan brutaliteit en snelheid (uitstekend drumwerk) geen
gebrek op deze plaat.
Verder valt me aan deze release op, dat het erg duidelijk is dat de songs met
een zekere zorgvuldigheid geschreven zijn. Vaak krijg ik bij grindcore het idee
dat de nummers voornamelijk uit dronken jamsessies zijn ontstaan. Niet bij
Inhume. Deze release steekt boven de maandelijkse stroom aan brute death en
grindcore releases uit, omdat de (korte) nummers van "In For the Kill" een stuk
meer details bevatten, dan je tijdens de eerste luisterbeurt opvalt. Denk nu
niet dat deze plaat vergelijkbaar is met de laatste van Exhumed, want afgezien
van de bandnaam en wat van dezelfde invloeden hebben de twee bands weinig met
elkaar gemeen. Goede vocalen ook op dit album, zowel de bekende superlage grunt
en de veile krijsstem, al hadden ze naar mijn smaak wel wat harder in de mix
mogen hebben staan.
Verplichte kost voor grindliefhebbers. Hoor jij daar niet bij, is "In For the
Kill" wellicht een goede keuze als je nog eens een geschikt album nodig hebt
voor bij het afblazen van stoom.

Inhume - "In For The Kill" Osmose
Om jag fått välja ett soundtrack till jordens undergång, hade Inhumes “In for
the kill” varit ett lämpligt val. Holländarna levererar ett frenetisk Gore/Grind
doftande oväsen som kyler ända in i märgen.
Här finns allt som denna genre ska innehålla.
De smattrande dubbla baskaggarna och blastbeatsen ackompanjeras av en tight och
blytung bas-gitarrsektion. De vokala insatserna påminner en del om det som
”Brutal Truth” presterade på 90-talet, nämligen en blasfemisk duett mellan
gurglande basröst och sjukt hysteriskt highpitchad skriksång. Musikerna är
mycket tighta och skickliga och känns väl hemmastadda i denna extrema konstform.
Influenserna har hämtats från tidiga grindhjältar så som Napalm Death och
Terrorizer.
Detta är sinnessjukt mangel av absolut värsta sort, och jag älskar det!
De flygande holländarna är välförtjänta av den starka fyran som jag bjuder på.

INHUME: In For The Kill - Osmose
Jo vuodesta 1994 äärimmäisen gorekasta grindcoreaan jauhanut Inhume on uransa
aikana ehtinyt julkaista yhden seiskatuumaisen, sekä pari demoa ja splittiä.
Viimein vuonna 2000 näki kalsean haudanvalon alalla kovan maineen omaavan Bones
Brigade levy-yhtiön kautta julkaistu debyyttipitkäsoitto Decomposing From
Inside, joka esitteli tätä Alankomaiden verivetoista tuotetta laajemmallekin
yleisölle. Viimeisen kolmen vuoden aikana on vaihtunut niin levy-yhtiö kuin
toinen vokalistikin, kun alusta asti mukana ollut Johan sai tarpeekseen ja
luovutti mikin Slam Squadissakin vaikuttavalle Dorus Van Ooijlle.
Inhume rakentaa äärimmäisen rankan ja tylyn musiikkinsa ottaen voimakkaasti
vaikutteita sellaisilta alan pioneereilta kuin Carcass, Napalm Death ja Autopsy.
Jos nuo ryhmät ovat tuttuja tiedät millä kohtaa pelikenttää nyt liikutaan.
Musiikki on äärimmäisen agressiivista sekä nopeaa, ja vokalisointi on lähinnä
örinän ja huutamisen sekoitusta. Laulukielenä toimii englanti ja lyriikat ovat
melkoista verijuhlaa, mistä toki lätyn kansitaidekin kyllä kielii melko
suorasti.
Juuri muille kuin alan harrastajille tätä ei voi suositella, sillä niin
äärimmäistä tavaraa Inhume tällä kakkoslevyllään tarjoaa. Toisekseen levyn
materiaali on paikoin melko puisevan samantyyppistä ja aavistuksen junnaavaa, se
mitä jää kirkuvasta julistuksesta kaipaamaan on variointi. Mutta mikäli
sisäelimet ovat tarpeeksi vahvat ja kunnon RASKAS rynkytys maistuu niin siitä
vaan, veri virtaamaan ja ruumiit roikkumaan! Ja pidetään sitten se
Volume-nappula siellä kaakossa.

Co se asi tak může ukrývat ve výtvoru, jež na ploše třiceti dvou minut skýtá
šestnáct skladeb? Co jiného, než nějaká šílená zvrhlost, chorobná zvrácenost, či
tak něco. Co byste řekli? Jo, je to tam. A pokud jste měli tu čest s
prvoproduktem šestice INHUME (pokud v tom máte lehký bordel, pak vězte, že se
nejedná ani o Inhuman ani o Inhumate), který se objevil v roce 2000 pod názvem
„Decomposing From Inside“, pak víte, co mají „pěvci“ Joost Silvrants a Johan
Dirkx, kytaristé Harold Gielen a Ben Janssen, baskytarista Loek Peeters a
bubeník Roel Sanders za lubem. Celá tahle hnilobná smečka byla vzdor svému
naprosto opačnému pojmenování (Pohřbít) exhumována z hrobu před devíti lety, a
to „jen“ proto, aby hudebnímu světu natrhla pořádně ….., však vy už víte co.
Hudebně ovlivnění sebrankami typu Carcass, Napalm Death a Terrorizer a z
hlediska textové složky silně inspirovaní Carcass a Autopsy válcují veškeré
zažité postupy, jež v myšlení normálně uvažujících hudbymilovníků předepsaně
činí muziku muzikou. Jejich brutální, zvířecky prudký a nelidsky brusný styl
masakruje a činí tak s důsledností, promyšleností a energickou zarputilostí.
Bryskní a ničivý výplach mozku v podání unisono krájejících kytar a živelně
pádivé rytmiky, jemuž vévodí antihumánní a zlověstný dvojpolohový vokál, kdy
chvílku tahá pilku, jež krvavě odděluje mrtvolám údy, záhrobní hrdlozpěv a
chvilku bolestný vřískot jeho v křečích se zmítajícího původce, to je do
maximální krajnosti dovedená hudební výstřednost sama. Nechť jsou tedy grind
core-death metaloví Holanďané INHUME uloženi vedle dalších klenotů na černý a
zápachem tlení masa načichlý samet šperkovnice evropského undergroundu. Bez
přehánění smýšlím, že tam patří.

INHUME - In for the Kill - Osmose
Gli olandesi Inhume giungono, solamente, al secondo album dopo una carriera
ormai decennale, nella quale però hanno pubblicato anche qualche split-cd e un
paio di demos. Il sound proposto è un furibondo brutal/grindgore che stupisce
per il suo incedere nichilista e impietoso. In questi quasi 32 minuti non c'è
respiro né attimo di sosta, un magma sonoro compatto e caotico nel quale la
batteria non smette mai di martellare incessantemente e nel quale le due voci si
alternano, ove non si sovrappongono, per creare un'intensità veramente sfibrante
e di difficile sopportazione. Questi olandesi sanno riprendere la lezione di
gente come Terrorizer, Carcass e Napalm Death e portarle alle estreme
conseguenze, sia dal punto di vista concettuale sia, soprattutto, musicale.
Stupisce la buonissima produzione che, pur risultando abbastanza grezza, lascia
esprimere un sound definito nel quale non si sente il solito pastone di
strumenti uno sull'altro. I testi ovviamente sono pregni di elementi gore,
splatter e trash, e non potevamo chiedere di meglio. Riuscire a sostenere le
fulminee accelerazioni di "Genetic Intervention" o di "Sodomizing The
Encounter", solo per dirne un paio, sarà una prova che pochi di voi riusciranno
a superare, garantito. Se la velocità scriteriata, la brutalità e il chaos fanno
parte del vostro quotidiano, questo disco potrebbe essere la colonna sonora
della vostra vita. Per il resto tenete d'occhio questa band.

EHI!What`s that? What`s that noise?Ehi! They have a problem or what? Blurgh!
Blurgh! Ahr!BleaAAHRGH!
Questo era l`inizio di "Extasis", un brano dei mai dimenticati Pyogenesis di
"Sweet X-Rated Nothings" del 1994 o giù di lì; mentre sullo sfondo scorreva una
traccia ultra-death, la voce si riferiva, con un certo sdegno e con tipica
attitudine non-metal, alla capacità/incapacità del death/grind di allora di
discostarsi dalla sua attitudine di "fare casino" e basta.
Molte cose sono cambiate da allora, e abbiamo conosciuto l`evoluzione, anche
dello splatter-gore più nichilista, in molte sue forme; per lo meno questo era
quello che credevo prima che mi arrivassero gli Inhume.
Sedici pezzi di ultra-grind, titoli e testi da catalogo ("Incineration of the
Body by own Will", "Bowel Movement", "Sodomizing Encounter" e quant`altro),
iconografia sanguinolenta e minimale (cadaveri, sangue, frattaglie e tutta la
trafila) ma soprattutto brani indistinguibili, orchestrazioni assenti, stessi
suoni per tutto il disco, super-growl cavernoso alternato a uno straziante
screaming, lunghezza di quindici su sedici brani inferiore ai tre minuti, con
almeno due episodi sotto al minuto.
Parliamone però da almeno due punti di vista:
- se volete ascoltare "In for the Kill" per il vostro piacere musicale o
filosofico (o anche carnale, io vi rispetto tutti) fate pure; ma che nessuno
tenti di convincermi che questa é buona musica e che vale la spesa di quindici
euro.
- altrimenti, se siete patiti di death/grind e vi sentite discriminati da questa
mia recensione, posso comunque dire che "In for the Kill" é un onesto successore
dei suoi colleghi di scuderia, e arricchisce il catalogo Osmose di un altro
elemento che, sebbene non essenziale e di certo non originale, può vantare
almeno una discreta produzione e una certa tecnica di esecuzione. Veloce,
brutale e violento: per molti questo basta. Per me no.

Inhume - In For The Kill Released: 2003, Osmose
Productions
If bands like Hate Eternal are too slow for you and you scoff at the lack of
gore in Cannibal Corpse’s lyrics, check out Inhume. On IN FOR THE KILL, the
Dutch band cranks out 16 songs in 31 minutes and each one is similar to the next
in speed and aggression. This is straight-up brutal death/grindcore. Inhumed
isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel but they do throw in the odd guitar solo to
break up the monotony. What always impresses me with music like this is how the
drummer is able to keep up the frenetic pace. Granted the songs are short but to
play these live for 30-45 minutes straight must be absolute torture! The vocals
are double-tracked Deicide-style, with a low, guttural growl on one end and a
piercing shriek on the other. Production is surprisingly strong for this genre
however the vocals do suffer from being buried a bit too low in the mix. One
thing that grabbed my attention immediately is the cool cover featuring what
looks like a blood-drenched giant man/machine ripping through a sea of bodies.
As far as originality goes, Inhumed is going through the motions of what bands
like Napalm Death and Carcass were doing in the late 80s and early 90s. The
songs lack in variety and I defy anyone to tell the difference between them but
if you want a hard-hitting grind album, pick up IN FOR THE KILL.

INHUME: In for the Kill
Beim ersten Betrachten des Covers musste ich mich schon fast übergeben. Nicht
weil es so ekelig ist, eher weil es so langweilig und schon tausend mal da
gewesen wirkt. Beim näheren betrachten verliebt man sich aber so richtig in das
Artwork. Voller Details und in einem coolen Comicdesign zerschmettert ein
riesiger Titan alles, was ihm in die Quere kommt. Und aus dem richtigen Licht
betrachtet wirkt das Ding verdammt 3D.
Das richtige Licht muss man auch auf INHUME selbst werfen, denn Bands wie die
wahnsinnigen Holländer gab es schon wie Sand am Meer. Doch das schaurig-schöne
Grind-Sextett macht keinen Hehl daraus und spielt old-school Grindcore wie er
sein muss: In knapp 32 Minuten Nettospielzeit (endlich kann ich mal meine
kaufmännischen Roots einsetzen: Hier ist brutto = netto - Anm. d.Verf.) wird
alles kaputtgehauen, was nur geht, inklusive des wunderschönem neuen
Toilettensitzes und der teuren Mingvase. Aber es macht rein gar nichts aus, denn
einmal im Jahr darf man gerne so Rock ´n Roll sein und sich aufführen wie der
letzte Stier. Jedenfalls ist es genau das, was INHUME befürworten, einfach mal
ausflippen und eine verdammt gute Zeit haben.
Bei diesen Songs ist es kein Wunder, denn die Riffs sind herrlich
grindig-punkig, wie in den guten alten Zeiten zusammen mit lockerem
Prügelschlagzeug und verzerrt-dreckigem Bass von Anfang bis Ende. Dazu wechseln
sich die beiden Sicko-Vokalisten ab und grunzen und kreischen um die Wette. Das
Ganze klingt nach den ganz alten NAPALM DEATH und CARCASS-Scheiben, aber ohne
verstaubt zu wirken. Doch ein Problem haben die räudig-grindenden Holländer: Die
Songsstrukturen gehen in dem krassen Lärm völlig unter. Ob das bei Grindcore
wirklich ins Gewicht fällt sei mal dahingestellt, aber gerade in "Scourging" und
ein paar anderen Kandidaten nervt es ziemlich, da man einfach vollkommen aus dem
Konzept geworfen wird.
Nichtsdestotrotz ist "In for the Kill" eine arschcoole Grindcore-Scheibe für
Puristen sowie für Neueinsteiger geworden, die vor dreckigen Ideen, kranken
Geschichten und ekelhaftem Würgen nur so strotzt. Manchmal braucht man sowas
einfach und manchmal muss man dann auch einfach nachgeben und eingestehen: Die
alten Zeiten waren eben doch die Guten.

Oh ja, da hüpft das Grindherz doch wieder schneller durch den Brustkasten. Nach
der ersten Scheibe "Decomposing From Inside" via Bones Brigade kommen INHUME mit
ihrer zweiten Scheibe wiederum gut an. Wer auf REGURGITATEs "Carnivorous

angecrusteter Ballersound, immer auf die 9 und kaum Verschnaufpausen. 16 Tracks,
32 Minuten, passender roher und brutaler Sound = genau das richtige für

INHUME "In for The Kill" (Osmose

Valutazioni diverse per situazioni concettualmente diverse. Mi spiego meglio:
che voto dare al disco in se stesso e alla prova della band? In tutta onestà,
non me la sento di privare gli Inhume della sufficienza, visto che se la
meritano pienamente. Come prodotto "commerciale", invece, quale sarebbe il
giudizio finale per "In For The Kill"? Boh?! Di dischi come questo potete
trovarne in giro una quantità allucinante, perciò potrei anche ricorrere al
classico senza voto, dietro cui è facile ripararsi, o ad un voto negativo. Ma
dare un voto negativo ad un disco che non lo merita, solo perchè la sua
appetibilità è molto bassa, sarebbe fondamentalmente ingiusto, quindi giudicherò
solo il valore effettivo dell'album (ovviamente dal mio punto di vista). Se
invece volete un consiglio su come aggirarvi in ambito grind/death, beh, allora
io vi dico di affidarvi sempre alle solite band, che tanto l'innovazione non fa
parte del vocabolario relativo a questo genere, e di nuovi gruppi diversi da
quelli già esistenti ne usciranno ben pochi (soprattutto da una label in crisi
come la Osmose)... Ma parliamo del disco! "In For The Kill" altro non è che il
classico esercizio di distruzione degli strumenti e delle corde vocali, stavolta
eseguito in modo cruento dagli Inhume, nome già abbastanza conosciuto
nell'ambito. Il grind offerto dalla band è piuttosto standard, resenta in più
punti il caos, e i riff da salvare non sono in realtà moltissimi. D'altro canto,
una velocità esecutiva pazzesca e una violenza spropositata non possono farmi
pensare che ad un prodotto positivo. Si poteva fare di meglio, certo, ma a quel
punto non sarebbero stati gli Inhume, e non sarebbe stato grind... Insomma, se
volete distruggervi l'anima ascoltando death metal procuratevi i dischi dei
Nile. Se invece siete marci fino al midollo e volete una colonna sonora per il
prossimo sbudellamento, "In For The Kill" potrebbe anche fare al caso vostro.

INHUME "in for the kill" cd (osmose

Alustavan tarkkailun aikana tein käytännössä vain yhden muistiin jääneen
havainnon: Ei väsähdä loppua kohti kuten moni vastaava, ehkä jopa päinvastoin.
Isommassa äänijärjestelmässä tarkemmassa syynissä kuitenkin tuli oivallettua,
että 32 minuuttia on ehkä silti enemmän kuin sopiva annos, ja josta jäi ähky
olo. Melko tasapaksua tykitystä olematta silti epämiellyttävää. Parempikin mieli
jäisi varmaan, jos välillä komeroista kumpuava sikakirkuna olisi pääosassa
kohtuumiehekkään matalan vomittauksen sijasta. Jo sillä keinolla tämä olisi
paljon lähempänä sitä paljon höyryttyä gorea, jota nyt jäi melkein ikävä.
Perinteiseen grindaukseen verrattunakaan soitanta, ideat tai äänimaailma eivät
ole täysin vehkeestä, mutta diskanttivoittoista politiikkaa boostaa entisestään
hiukan kireiksi tikistetyt rumpusoundit. 9 vuotta sitten pystytetyllä possella
aikaisempia kokopitkiä jopa yksi vuodelta 2000, muut mahdollisuudet törmätä
tuotantoon ollessa kasetteja, splittejä ja kokoelmia. Livenä näitä näkisi syksyn
mittaan euroopassa ainakin Cephalic Carnagen ja Exhumedin kanssa. Jos sattuisin
paikalle niin kyllä rehellisesti sanottuna ennemmin kahden edellä mainitun
takia...

INHUME - In For The Kill 2003
Hollantilaista sikalametallia tarjoilee Inhume jo uransa toisella
pitkäsoitollaan. "Ah tätä autuutta", voisin todeta, jos tästä pitäisin, mutta
kun en pidä. Suorastaan vihaan tätä. Jos migreeni pitäisi muuntaa mekaaniseksi
aaltoliikkeeksi, tulos olisi joko Watchmaker tai Inhume.
In for the Kill tarjoilee 16 raitaa brutaalia death metallia, jotka olisi voinut
typistää yhden raidan mittaiseen demoon, sillä kappaleet eivät eroa toisistaan
oikeastaan yhtään. Riffejä on mahdotonta erottaa toisistaan, sillä niin
samankaltaista sahaamista ne toisiinsa nähden tällä levyllä ovat. Rumpali takoo
kuin jakomielitautinen suhteellisen tarkkaa blastbeatia koko puolituntisen ja
joskus ainakin vihjailee hienoisesta dynamiikasta, joka kuitenkin lopulta aina
jää vain vihjailuksi. Jotta levy ei olisi tarpeeksi kammottavaa kuunneltavaa
vielä tämän perusteella, niin tasaisen maan sankarit ovat päättäneet kuorruttaa
soppansa lähes epäinhimilliseltä kuulostavalla vokalistilla. Joko yhtye on
oikeasti syöttänyt sikalan asukeille amfetamiinia tai herra Joost Silvrantsilla
on jotain vikaa päässään. Niin tai näin, lopputulos kuulostaa siltä kuin iso
urossika rääkyisi kuolemaansa. Ja niin rääyn minäkin, sillä tästä levystä ei
tule kuin paha olo.
Vaikeaa on tällaista möykkää kellekään suositella, sillä tästä ei saa oikeasti
mitään tolkkua. Määrä ei aina korvaa laatua, mikä on valitettava tosiasia
metallimusiikin maailmassa. Tästä eivät edes masokistit saa mitään irti.

Entrate in un ospedale a voi limitrofo, e chiudevi dentro la sala autopsie.
Anzi, prima di chiudervi, areate prima di soggiornarvi. L'ossigeno sarà
indispensabile. A questo punto potete cominciare ad ascoltare "In for the kill".
Visto che le tracce sono un alternarsi di cattiveria sonora senza pietà, sarete
probabilmente assogettati al volere di questi folli olandesi e sarete obbligati
ad ascoltarvi tutto il disco, cioè 32 minuti che sembrano durare almeno il
doppio! Tornando a temini un po' meno folkloristici (ringrazio Kinetic per le
ispirazioni), gli Inhume propongono un gringore veloce che si affida soprattutto
sulla potenza e la velocità. Niente di nuovo quindi, sebbene gli elementi per
ridurre in poltiglia ci siano tutti: voce sia urlata che greve, chitarre e basso
sincronizzati e ben affilati, e una batteria schizofrenica che favorisce il
sanguinoso laceramento.
La copertina del disco è un po' anomala: anzichè la solita disgustosa immagine
snuff, è presente un sanguinolento supereroe in stile Marvel, visibile in alto a
sinistra. Lo stile grafico non si è di certo evoluto. Cambia anche la qualità
della registrazione, che è pulita (è possibile distinguere bene ogni strumento)
e al passo con le ultime uscite del genere (credo che sia questa una delle
ragioni dell'improvvisa esplosione del grind dopo anni di indifferenza). Un buon
disco senza ombra di dubbio, ben suonato ed interpretato, anche se come spesso
succede, privo di spunti innovativi.

Okay okay. If you’re a Dutch grindcore fan, you’ll know that I’m far too late
with this review because this album was released in September of this year. But
for the people who still care, here comes the pain!
Normally you’d expect a reasonably soft intro to a CD, but not this one. No you
get immediately thrown into the living hell that is Inhume. “Incineration Of The
Body By Own Will” is the first track that will start incinerating my hearing
organs. And immediately on this track you’ll notice how great they are at making
grindcore. Really really good drumming, a brutal bass distortion, screaming mad
guitars and some vocals that will your mother burn your CD and send you to
church. But hey, it’s time to grind!
Numbers to be told about on the musical territory are “Inhume” for it’s
brutality and speed (while you can say that about almost every song!), “Prelude
To Human Confinement” for being even more brutal en shorter (41 seconds to be
exact), “Decimated Content” for having a really cool drum intro followed by a
bassdistortion that I find so fucking cool! “Profound Presumption is also a
really brutal but short track, it lasts about 28 seconds of braintorturing
soundwaves. Cool!
Then I just have to make a comment on some of the lyrics. There are a couple of
cool ones, like “Genetic Intervention” which is against cloning, and “Blood Orgy
At 7Th Street” which is about killing hippies. Fun! But then again there are
also songs about puttingyour phallus in a cow, called “Sodomizing Encounter” and
one about having to take a shit, dubbed “Bowel Movement”. But you know what they
say, extreme music, extreme lyrics. But then again, I can’t make out most of the
lyrics anyway so it doesn’t bother me that much.
Although a lot of the songs don’t last longer than 2 minutes this is a fantastic
album. Sixteen songs in 32 minutes of the extreme shit on this fucking rotten
planet. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere! I really like the bass sound on the album
because it makes such a violent noise you just start to smile if you’re a bass
player. But if you’re a drummer, many people tell me that they consider this
drummer to be the best death metal/grindcore drummer from Holland, so check it
out. The vocals are really good too.
I certainly don’t doubt that we will here more from this fantastic band and I
cant wait to hear their next album. Guys, keep on grinding!

Okay, ragge ragge ragge, hakke hakke hakke, chop chop chop. Genadeloos, deze CD,
van begin tot einde wordt er de luisteraar geen seconde rust gelaten. U bent
gekomen om te grinden??? Laat dit dan een zekerheid zijn, Inhume doet dit als de
beste met hun –beetje- technische old school grind, met moordende snelheden, en
gevarieerde riffs, geleend uit de US death scene.
Ja, beter dan “Decomposing From Inside”, hun debuut CD, maar een meesterwerk? Na
de iets wat teleurstellende “Dutch Assault” grind dit weer lekker weg, maar daar
is dan ook het meeste mee gezegd. Geen echte spetters op de CD, geen echte
highlights, geen enkel rustpunt. De dubbele vocalen zijn weer erg afwisselend,
en de zestien nummers zijn onderling zelfs van elkaar te scheiden, een gebrek
bij menig grindcore bandje. De productie is beter als op het debuut, maar de
drums steken wel erg ver weg, alsook soms de vocalen. Maar van een brij is
gelukkig nergens sprake. Maar we mogen een beetje trots zijn dat de lage landen
weer een klasse product hebben voortgebracht. Als deze groei zich voortzet met
hun volgende zilverschijf, kan er wel eens sprake zijn van een
troonsverschuiving.

INHUME - "IN FOR THE KILL" (OSMOSE)
Take a look at this cover punters - A blood splattered monolith rising from the
depths of hell, crushing all mere mortals in its path. I’m not a massive fan of
the genre, but I knew for sure, with a cover such as this and a title like ‘In
For the Kill’ that this was going to be grindcore. Not that this is a bad thing;
it’s just that Inhume (and many other grind acts for that matter) leave little
to the imagination. If you’re a fan of extreme grind, then this will disembowel
you.
Inhume hail from Holland and have been forging their sound around the European
underground since forming in 1994. In For The Kill is the bands second
full-length disc and follows up their debut release of 2000 entitled
‘Decomposing From Inside’ which was released on the Dutch Bones Brigade label.
Now signed to Osmose Productions, it is clear that Inhume are going to be able
to take their music to a much wider listening audience. Upcoming live gigs with
other like-minded sicko’s Exhumed and Cephalic Carnage will also benefit this
bands profile.
At 16 tracks in 32 minutes, In For The Kill takes no prisoners – it flies by in
unrelenting fashion. From the opening mayhem of ‘Incineration of the body by own
will’ through to the blood curdling dementia of ‘Retreat from Morality’, Inhume
are solely intent delivery an aural assault without compromise. As such there
isn’t a whole lot of variation going down on this disc. For grind fans, you know
the deal – frenetic speed and blasting, a thick seething guitar production,
dense as fuck bass lines and dog-vomit vocals spewed and spat out in one of the
most incoherent performances since the recent ‘Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition
(also on Osmose) disc. $50 grand to the first who can spot a lyric they can
understand on this. It is impossible. But hey, that’s death/grind for you folks
– sick, twisted dementia all the way.
As a grind act, Inhume are pretty darn good at what they do, although I’m not
exactly sold on their style. Original it isn’t – but that’s not the point
either. Like most other grind bands, Inhume worship the old school forefather
like early Carcass, Napalm Death, Terrorizer and Autopsy. Inhume’s sound is a
continuation of this style and if that’s what swings your axe, then you’ll find
ample moments of regurgitated hysteria on this (s)platter. Add a top notch and
much improved production and Inhume become just a little more worthy of your
attention.
For me, Inhume are not the worst Grind act I’ve heard, but their style is rather
one-dimensional. I prefer my grind somewhat more technical like the latest
Aborted disc, but again that’s just me. Inhume will appeal to that massive grind
audience looking for something new in the underground to cling to – they will
find much to like about this band. Other than that, put this on 11 and witness
total neighbourhood removal!

INHUME - In For The Kill (Osmose
Productions)
A prime example of my most frequent criticism. Perhaps THE prime example of my
most frequent criticism. For anyone requiring a demonstration of the
oft-mentioned 'complete lack of variety = monotonous, one-dimensional aural
torture' grumble, well, this is it. And what is 'it', exactly? 'Gory Grindcore'.
Ultra-fast. Ultra-brutal. Equal parts glass-shattering screams and
floor-trembling growls. Can I describe any aspect of 'In For The Kill' in
greater depth than that? Not really. Can I reel off the highlights/ drawbacks of
any one of these sixteen tracks? Nope. Is any one number even remotely
discernible from another? HA! Stupid question. Ooh, apart from the duration,
that is. Track number five, 'Prelude To
Human Confinement', is only 42 seconds long. The rest clock in at around two
minutes.
For all its intensity, velocity and aggression - each pushed to the absolute max
- 'In For The Kill' washes over me in a bland and increasingly irritating wave
of sonic violence. Suffice to say this particular copy won't be encountering a
CD player again. Ever.

INHUME/In For The Kill (Osmose)
This totally reminded me of Autopsy. From the
vocals to the music. The band don't play as many slow parts and are mostly
just fast. Sick lyrics from what I can make out and from the song titles. If
your into Autopsy you'll love this.

INHUME 'In for the Kill' (Osmose
prods)
Modern grind with few old riffs and a bit of death made harsher by several
different hyperviolent vocals; very articulated songs in which the drumming and
riffing are very fast. Not exceptional, though valid under lots of sides,
recording included.

INHUME "In For The Kill" (Osmose
Productions) 32:00min
I feel like I am not the right person to review this, for the main reason I am
not a fan of Grindcore in the first place, and INHUME just play a pure form of
this genre. "In For The Kill" is the second full length of this Dutch six-piece,
and you can’t say they are up for variety while listening to this 16 tracker.
All the "songs" sound exactly the same, so in the end be prepared to experience
a compact sonic barrage whose the efficiency I have serious doubts about. To
play an extreme form of music is OK, but you have to keep a little space for
variations, breaks and tempo or atmosphere changes to maintain your listeners on
alert. This is a tactic INHUME chose to ignore while recording this, and this is
too bad for both them and us. The main flaw of this record is the vocals, they
are so outré that INHUME are constantly on the verge to become totally
ridiculous. Come on, coupling the sound of an angry Daffy Duck with the
distorted growl of a pig in agony (INHUME have two vocalists in their ranks) is
fun during a very short time lapse and become annoying afterwards. I have no
doubt INHUME will find their public despite this jaded review, especially if you
consider the excellent sound quality of this record. It is just that they are a
little too much for my personal taste. Recommended only for fans of straight
ahead Grind.

INHUME - In for the kill (CD)
death/grind (Osmose)
Inhume perform pretty standard death/grind with two vocalists and the expected
element of hardcore/crust parts here and there. They do it well but are not
exactly special or that interesting. Good for elevator music on the way down to
hell I guess.

INHUME "In For The Kill" (Osmose
Productions)
Inhume sind ein Begriff in der Szene. Inhume sind zumindest mit dieser Scheibe
ganz, ganz vorn dabei, wenn es darum geht möglichst brutal und aggressiv alles
nieder zu metzeln was einen da so vor die Flinte kommt. Auf alle Fälle dürfte
"In For The Kill" das absolute Highlight in Death Grind Bereich neben zB. der
letzten Immersed In Blood darstellen. Allerdings haben Inhume noch einen Zacken
mehr Originalität am Start. Ordentlich Breaks und groove, unbarmherziges
Gegrinde, brutale variable vocs (grunz horror und böse heiser) - und vor allem
eine saubere Produktion mit tödlichst brutalen Gitarrenriffs. Herrlich und ein
absolutes Muß für jeden ordentlich Death Grinder! "Der blanke Wahnsinn, wenn man
da nicht kauft!"
