Their fourth full-length and their debut for I Scream Records: Inhuman is back with a record named Last Rites and kicks some serious ass. Inhuman consists amongst others of Steve Gallo and Joseph James from Agnostic Front. Their music on Last Rites is a mixture of hardcore, punk rock and metal. This mixture isn’t very original any more, but let's find out if they can do something special with it, shall we?

The opening and title track begins with a conversion about believe between a man and a little girl before the band starts with an aggressive metal song. Not much old-school hardcore in it and this will definitely not please all Inhuman fans. If you don’t like metal-influences in hardcore: just skip it and start with the second track. ‘Fash-ist’ is a pure hardcore song, which reminds me a bit of Sick Of It All. This is definitely not a bad thing! Other killer songs are ‘The Dream Is Not Dead’ and ‘Grindhouse’. 

Besides ‘Last Rites’ there is another song which remarkable on this record. I really like ‘The Lost’, but it just doesn’t fit on this record. It’s much slower than the other songs and it has for example an organ at the end. This album is very diverse and sometimes that is a good thing, but with this record it is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing. Variation is good, because it prevents boring music. Inhuman though forced through a bit too much, if you ask me.
