Nuclear Altar from Croatia are back with Mankind In Decline their second demo after
Blessed Ruins from 2013. The band is not new to this blog but for those who are not familiar, Nuclear Altar come from Požega, Croatia, Blessed Ruins was their frist demo, the songs appeared in a
split tape with Hellback, there is also a live
4 way split tape with Propast, Hellback and Noname. Blessed Ruins was a piece of old school D-beat but the line up changes and guitarist's steps to a more dark and metallic path as appeared in his one man project Gutterskull and its offspring
Crawling in Disgust are somehow obvious here and brought a new feeling to Mankind In Decline sound: This is raw and old school but with a slight metallic touch and sometimes dark and emotional feeling, There are 14 tracks here including covers of Hellkrusher, UBR and Dislike and following the pattern of Blessed Ruins, deliver pure D-beat (Ghostblood Rituals, Hell) but also slower and dark tracks (Slavonian Funeral, Dismal Worship Begins wich also appears in first demo). Lyrics & logo by kktz (guit), artwork by Željko Lučić. All and all this is a honest and nice effort, as good as their frist work, Oh i almost forgot it: This is a DIY effort and considering this, the result is decent. This is currently available only in bandcamp, a cassette release is going to pop up soon. Dnld link is provided by the band
