UMUR
"Worldly Separation" is the debut full-length studio album by Canadian industrial death metal act Inner Thought. The album was released through Witchhunt Records in 1993. Inner Thought was formed in 1989 by Bobby Sadzak. Sadzak had been a member of Canadian thrash metal act Lethal Presence in the mid-80s, and joined Slaughter in 1987 and subsequently also co-founded post-Slaughter act Strappado with Dave Hewson. The early 90s was spend with recording and touring with Strappado, but Sadzak always had Inner Thought as a one-man project on the side and as activitives with Strappado came to a hold in 1993 he opted to spend time recording "Worldly Separation".

Stylistically this is industrial tinged death metal featuring both drum programming and an omnipresense of keyboards (and occasional samples and spoken words sections). The sound production is a bit thin, which is a shame because I´m sure that a more massive and heavy sounding production could have elevated the music to a higher state. The current sound production leaves a bit to be desired, although it´s not an amaturish sounding release.

The album is dedicated to all innocent victims of war and that theme is obvious from the lyrics and the atmosphere of the album. This is a melancholic album displaying despair at the state of the world. Heavy riffs and rhythms, growling snarling vocals, and atmosphere enhancing keyboards and lead guitars. I must admit that I enjoy this album most when it´s darkest, heaviest, og most brutal, and less when it´s too ethereal and carried by the keyboards and the programmed drums. But that´s a subjective observation and objectively evaluated this is a good quality industrial tinged death metal release. A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
