This is a brand new double disc collaborative project from Russian duo Heaven & Miztica. One of whom was already established within the European horrorcore scene by putting out a couple EPs alongside a full-length album as part of his solo discography in the early/mid 2010s & the other happened to be his close friend, music partner, a multi-talented vocalist & a highly skilled tattoo artist. Heaven sadly passed away in September 2021 due to COVID-19 complications & Scum signed the duo to Lyrikal Snuff Productionz exactly a year later, making them the label’s first international act. Deathpression & Inhumanity were later clarified to be Heaven’s final works, which made even more since when Miztica signed to LSP as a solo artist this spring.
“The Farm” starts in the form of this Hellish trap metal opener talking about the reason why both of them are alone whereas “Sorrow & Sadness” featuring Jakob Shaw finds the trio taking the boom bap route instrumentally discussing the only 2 things they have in this world. “On My Own” goes full-blown nu metal to talk about doing things themselves just before “Anger” fuses trap metal with nu metal showing off some angst.
As for “Close Your Eyes”, we have the duo returning with a nu metal edge with some hardcore rap verses leading into “Do Me a Favor” featuring Suburban Noize Records g-punk band (həd) p.e. gets everyone together for this killer rap rock/nu metal crossover throwing it back to the early 2000s. “Let Me Try” chaotically tackles the theme of death while “Where Are You?” sings about wanting to be remembered.
“No More Hell” works in some heavy guitars advising not to look at either one of them in the face since they’re ready to fly & the closer “While My Flame Burns” properly ties off the collaborative 2-disc experience with this heartfelt rap rock ballad that would not only make Heaven proud of, but Sick Jacken lays the best feature for the end on top of it.
In contrast to most of the artists on the LSP roster being known for putting a boom bap & trap spin on the horrorcore subgenre, Deathpression / Inhumanity sticks out as something completely unique blending trap metal with nu metal & rap rock during the span of a 2-disc body of work clocking in it a little over a half hour doing Heaven’s legacy justice & sparking interested in Miztica’s solo career going forward.
Score: 8/10
