The album Mind Trap by the American death/thrash metal band Inhuman Condition, released on June 27, 2025 by Listenable Insanity Records (USA) and High Roller Records (Europe), is the third full-length album by the trio formed by Jeramie Kling (vocals/drums), Taylor Nordberg (guitar) and Terry Butler (bass). I highlight the consolidation of the band's identity, which distances itself from its origins as ex-members of Massacre, offering an old-school death metal with thrash influences, robust production and social themes.

The band's straightforward and timeless approach to old-school death/thrash draws comparisons to bands like Massacre, Obituary and Cannibal Corpse. Nordberg's home-made production and Deicide-influenced riffs reinforce the raw and nostalgic sound, ideal for fans of classic death metal.

Earlier this spring, SCHEUSAL released their debut album, Urwahn, under the banner of PURITY THROUGH FIRE. Raising those banners again, the so-far-mysterious entity strikes while the iron's red-hot with Fressfeind. Thankfully, not much has changed here on this second full-length. Pure 'n' proud Teutonic black metal is still the order of the day, but just like Urwahn did so stridently, Fressfeind further twists SCHEUSAL's unique iteration of German steel. Maybe going the martial-folkish direction more thoroughly, maybe running routes that are even more restless - whatever headspace you enter Fressfeind, the one-man band goes for the fucking throat, mischievous as ever. Indeed, that apt descriptor encompasses the mainman's vocals again, as the same crew of characters - the screamer, the shouter, the hooligan, the imp, the devil - all fight for breath here on this ever-shifting landscape. That landscape is painted with a production that's raw and rotten and yet somehow crisp and crystalline, making these nine screeds of mania all the more absurdly engaging and antagonizing.
