Comprised of Koen Vlerick (vocals, guitar), Sander Bellekens (bass), and Thierry Verstraeten (drums), the band delivers Groove Metal heavily influenced by the likes of Lamb of God, Machine Head, and Pantera.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">The album kicks off with \u201cBlack Pyramid\u201d, laying down a heavy groove that immediately undercuts any expectations of restraint. In \u201cCats of Ulthar\u201d, the tempo accelerates sharply, spotlighting Verstraeten\u2019s unbridled drumming. There&#8217;s a palpable sense of momentum built by the trio \u2014 especially during the climactic groove from Vlerick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cParasite\u201d provides a bit more spotlight for Bellekens\u2019s bass, with Vlerick\u2019s guttural vocals adding intense texture. It remains powerful without sacrificing musical clarity whereas \u201cKing of the Ashes\u201d is taking a quieter acoustic approach in its opening before erupting into a fuller, darker groove.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The title track, \u201cWhere Is Your God Now\u201d, is perhaps the album\u2019s standout. It begins calmly but changes into a raw, furiously energetic outburst. The transition is smooth yet explosive, and the chorus hits with brute intensity, combining groove and message effectively. Closing with \u201cProphet of Sin\u201d, the trio ends the album tightly with another assured display of their grooviest sound .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">Are we hearing something we haven&#8217;t heard before? No, the band is deep sourced with their inspiration. However, &#8220;<em>Destroy Humanity\u2019s<\/em> <em>Where Is Your God Now<\/em>&#8221; shows that the trio operates with tight cohesion. The album clearly shows an evolved formation and will bring us some nice moments if they cross your path live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Line up:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Koen Vlerick \u2013 Guitar, vocals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thierry Verstraeten \u2013 Drums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sander Bellekens \u2013 Bass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/tempelores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/unnamed-1-350x350-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tempelores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/unnamed-1-350x350-1.jpg 350w, https:\/\/tempelores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/unnamed-1-350x350-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tempelores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/unnamed-1-350x350-1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>Tracklist<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Black Pyramid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cats Of Ulthar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parasite<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>King Of The Ashes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>XXVII<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where Is Your God Now<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breaking The Silence<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prophet Of Sin<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">Links:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/destroyhumanity.bandcamp.com\/\">Bandcamp<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/leaveseyes.de\"><br><\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Releasedate: 22-02-2025Label: self release Destroy Humanity is a Belgian trio hailing from the small town of Beerzel, just south of Antwerp.
