3rd album from 2017 by this veteran Russian band and a crushing display of brutal, technical and dark Death Metal. Originally formed in the 1990s, VERMINOUS MIND further refined its sound on "Dusk of Humanity", delivering a more aggressive, faster and more focused approach while maintaining its obsession with pathology, decay and the destruction of mankind.
"Dusk of Humanity" blends razor-sharp riffing, relentless drumming and strong songwriting, moving between Brutal Death Metal and Technical Death Metal without sacrificing heaviness or atmosphere. The influence of the genre's most ferocious acts is evident, yet the band injects enough character to make this one of the strongest releases in its catalogue.
