THE BEAST

PRIMAL - Humachine - Reviewed By obliveon ! Check it out here at this link: https://obliveon.de/review/primal-humachine/

Humachine, like Primal, was produced by GRAMMY Award winner Iggy Elisabetsky at D-Organization Studios in Los Angeles, California. The grater was mastered by Rob Colwell at Bombworks Studios in Texas. Before we listen to the songs, here is a quote from Glenn Rogers and what he says about “Humachine”:

“Humachine” contains eleven well-structured songs in the vein of traditional heavy metal, with a solid rhythmic base and strong melodies.”

“Humachine” opens with the song 'The Cage', in which the guitars are in the foreground. In principle, that sounds good if the singing were just as powerful, because it goes under a bit. The title song 'Humachine (Heavy Toll)' will be well received by the headbanger faction and owners of high-quality air guitars will also rejoice. Via the strong 'Firefighter' and 'Unleash In Madness', which bangs out of the loudspeakers, we move on to 'End Times', where I like the vocals better and are more present. 'Warrior's Code' was released as a single and gives a very good taste of what to expect on “Humachine”. 'Savior' slows down a bit at the beginning, but again delivers a great guitar solo, as is also the case in the wide-legged, grooving 'Infernal Nightmare'.

“Humachine” is fun throughout, but it's spoiled a bit by the vocals, which sometimes lack the power for me. The strong sound, above all the very present guitar sounds, also requires fire behind the microphone. That doesn't mean that a mediocre singer is at work here, because Alberto Zamarbide can also sing powerfully, as he proves, for example, at the end of 'Ever' or also on the title track 'Humachine' and on 'End Times'. “Humachine” is definitely a buy tip for friends of strong guitar sounds and for fans of solid and straightforward US metal anyway!
