Inhuman Nature are set to unleash their new single “Possessed To Die” tomorrow. It’s a thrash assault with a classic crossover backbone, pulling in hardcore, crust, death, and doom elements—a combination that’s more than enough to rattle skulls. The warning is real: proceed with caution if your neck muscles aren’t ready.
“Possessed To Die” marks the first taste of their new LP Greater Than Death, which arrives on April 25 through Church Road Records.
It’s their sophomore LP and the band’s first full-length under Church Road. This follow-up carries forward the crossover bite of their debut while sinking deeper into darker, heavier corners.
There’s nothing subtle about the band’s aim—frontman Chris Barling takes issue with a culture overloaded by falsehoods and distressing headlines: “I’ve never wanted to write a song about the ills of social media, but when you’re living in a time where misinformation is weaponized, being bombarded from all directions with death, war, crime…more death, when most people are skint and struggling to live anyway, it was hard not to. Feels like we’re Possessed To Die.”
