Third and most brutal album by Human Cull on this release they add more of a death grind influence but done right.....

Bristol grindcore trio Human Cull have reliably dropped a new album every four years since releasing their debut Stillborn Nation in 2014, but To Weep For Unconquered Worlds feels like a big step forward from the more straight-forward Nasum worship of that record. Not that there’s anything wrong with Nasum worship, of course, especially when it’s done that well, but there’s a healthy dose of skronky Gorguts-esque death metal here that really elevates this album’s intensity. The opening title track makes this abundantly clear, with its frantic, spiralling riffs, intense blastbeats and that huge, juicy groove that bursts out of nowhere in the middle of the song, punctuated by discordant, jangly guitar sweeps. The 55 second long ‘The Horror’, meanwhile, feels almost like a dissonant, sinister Portal epic condensed right down into a supremely effective bite-sized assault.

There’s even a hint of Steve Tucker era Morbid Angel in the pulverising grandeur of tracks like ‘Unmaker’ and ‘Pyredancer’, with guitarist Edd Robinson’s deep, resonant vocals sounding more guttural and commanding than ever. The deathlier riffing style never comes at the expense of the band’s economic grindcore approach however; ‘Pyredancer’s is the longest track here and still doesn’t even break the two minute barrier. There’s still plenty of no-nonsense grinding on this record (that deliriously crusty stomp that opens ‘Time Of Ending’ is the kind of riff that’d get an Obscene Extreme circle pit going before anyone had even cracked open their first beer of the day), but the added intricacy and atmosphere that Human Cull manage to bring to the table here make this their tightest, strongest and most vicious release yet.
