The Line of Best Fit

Hidden History of the Human Race isn’t just one of the best death metal albums of the year, it’s one of the best metal albums of the entire decade.

Metal Injection

Hidden History of the Human Race is probably the finest offering of death metal for the year. There is not a single wasted or uninspired moment. Blood Incantation has outdone themselves in every regard.

Blood Incantation take a big step up from the lauded Starspawn on Hidden History of the Human Race. The songs take more surprising turns, the production sounds better, the performances feel tighter.

Exclaim!

Hidden History has a vibe, like something old and undiscovered. It's the riffs, the all-analogue recording process, everything. You breathe the atmosphere of this record when you listen to it. That's why you'll return to it again and again.

Distorted Sound

Hidden History of the Human Race is an acid trip of pure, unrestrained cosmic brutality.

Definitely one of the most creative metal records I've heard this year, "Hidden History of the Human Race" is a technically impressive, sonically brilliant and beautifully-written set of existential death metal tracks with an enveloping sci-fi concept.

Fav Tracks: The Giza Power Plant, Awakening from the Dream of Existence to the Nature of Our Reality (Mirror of the Soul), Inner Paths to Outer

Least Fav Track: I dunno

Score:
9.3

Personally not for me because I'm not in the Death Metal scene but I can see how other people may like it more than me. It just feels repetitive and annoying to the point I have no thought just confusion.
