They did well enough to debut with Restrain Records in 2007, and their first opus was called \u201cFallen Paradise\u201d. In 2009 their second official album, \u201cFragments of an Incomplete Puzzle\u201d followed. For the all-important third album the band opted for a concept album on the topic of how we humans destroy our existence on a daily basis. DYING HUMANITY promises to be refreshing, in difference to \u201ctons of superficial, mediocre and forgettable releases\u201d. That was no small words\u2026 You have a lot to prove guys\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Opener \u201cClarity of Mind\u201d may have the grooves, but reveals nothing else of grandeur. The instrumental \u201dInception\u201d is far more revealing, of an educated guitarist who can play, at least. But when both \u201cBlinded\u201d and \u201cTil the End\u201d are finished I realize the potential of DYING HUMANITY. They mix grooves, an almost AOR-like sense of melody and brutality in a way that few have succeeded with. Unfortunately those two tracks are outstanding on the album, which is sometimes plagued by worse growl than usual and some really wooden drumming. But I smell something promising in the aforementioned tracks plus the instrumentals. The arrangements are also superior at times, as long as the \u201cwe want to make you turn away in horror growls and drums\u201d are not interfering. Simply put, I think there are superior qualities that, like an alien, want out of Ripley!
