There's no denying that Dwid Integrity has left his mark on the worldwide hardcore scene. From the US to Asia people have been influenced by 'his' combination of metal and hardcore accompanied by dark, sinister lyrics. Dutch band Human Demise is one of them.
Being around since 2004 Human Demise know what they're doing. Something that is easy to recognize while listening to songs like 'Born/Unborn' and '5x2'. There is definately a nineties feel to all these songs reminding me of Earth Crisis, Ringworm and maybe the second Strife full length.
Lyricwise Human Demise is the total opposite of any React! Records bands coming forth with dark, moody lyrics describing the worst of humankind.
The only negative aspect of this record (if you don't take the negative lyrics into consideration that is) is the execution of the artwork. I think you could do more with a style somewhat similar to American Nightmare's Background Music. Especially the lyrics are at some parts unreadable, giving the total package something of a too rushed feel.
Despite that, on 'The Odditorium' Human Demise show they're a mature band able to win the souls of Integrity and other metalcore fans worldwide.
