UMUR
"Inhuman Condition" is an EP release by US, Florida based death metal act Massacre. The EP was released through Earache Records in October 1992. Massacre is widely considered one of the seminal death metal acts on the Florida scene, although they didn´t release their debut full-length studio album "From Beyond" until 1991. The band features several ex-members of the equally influential Death in the lineup. Compared to the lineup, who recorded "From Beyond", Steve Swanson (Six Feet Under) has been added as the band´s second guitarist.

"Inhuman Condition" features 4 tracks and a full playing time of 20:38 minutes. In addition to three new original tracks, the EP also features a cover of "Warhead" by Venom. The latter mentioned is a pretty good cover, and the three original tracks are quality wise and stylistically not that different from the music on "From Beyond (1991)". This is very basic and simple old school death metal with strong ties to the raw part of the 80s thrash metal scene.

The sound production is relatively powerful and well sounding (the EP was recorded at Morrisound Recording), and the musicianship is decent (although Kam Lee´s vocals sounded better on the debut album than they do here), and paired with the relatively catchy old school death metal tunes, "Inhuman Condition" is a pretty entertaining EP release by Massacre. It´s not exactly in the elite of old school death metal releases from those days though and a 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
