Yes! Finally, the bloody grin is back on my tired skull, meaning that the new The Crimson Ghosts album is out after long and dark years of waiting for another full length to arrive after the awesome “Generation Gore”.

“Yet Not Human” is the fifth full length of German horrorpunk legends, the band that inspired me a lot and for me the best European horrorpunk band ever. After eight years and some drummer lineup changes, I was eager to hear how this album will sound like. Judging by the awesome single “Don´t Follow” for which the video was made, I expected something awesome, this song is mid tempo horrorpunk anthem with memorable guitar melody and Vlad´s vocals sound better than ever. Besides that song, there are 12 more songs on this record and this record is in my opinion different than their previous releases. The record is still full of classic The Crimson Ghosts anthemic melodies, choruses made for singing along and I am eager to hear one day how this new material will sound like live. The band managed to find the perfect blend of horrorpunk, metal and harsher fast hardcore punk music. They also managed not to repeat themselves and stay original through all the years. “A Mother´s Heart” is touching Psycho inspired horrorpunk anthem which I love. I also loved “Rebirth” which is one of my favourite songs on the record having a chorus which made goosebumps on my skin. Perfect metal influences can be heard in “S.A.L.I.G.I.A.” and the awesome and mighty “Patient Zero”. There is one unusual, slower, rolling song “Ego sum qui intus habitat” which has a very evil and ominous atmosphere and I loved it. Vlad is singing his dark soul out, proving to be one of the best horrorpunk vocals of all times out there. The rest of the crew is tighter musically than ever, creating an energetic wave with their music. Like it is already tradition, there is also one song with lyrics in German, being “Leichenschmaus”. After hearing this album on repeat for ten times, I can only congratulate The Crimson Ghosts on their triumphant return!
