(review) Oh The Humanity – S/T (Hellminded Records)

595956

Oh The Humanity was formed in 2012 by five friends coming from different musical backgrounds within the scene. This is their new record which contains 11 songs. The music of Oh The Humanity is just the way I like it, meaning fast and a bit technical and metalic hardcore punk, melodic, uplifting and energetic at the same time. The songs are mainly fast, influenced by all of the nineties skatepunk heroes, yet enough technical to be likeable to the newer kids who like their skatepunk more technical and complex. The guitar work is just amazing, especially in one of my personal favorites called Gainesville. Besides fast and more aggressive yet melodic stuff, there are slower, more emotional mid tempo punk rock songs like amazing Never Worse. Also, one of the songs I must mention as being one of my favorites is Defeated. Everyone who knows me can tell how I always pay attention to vocals and harmonies of the backing vocals. This time, everything is amazing. Singer is neither snotty nor boring, enough dramatic to emphasize the song parts and enough melodic to tell all of the emotions behind the song lyrics. Backing and dual vocal harmonies are done awesome. So, if you are a fan of such music, go get this one, you will not regret it.
