Horrid Human Conditon: Italian crust / grindcore squad shares "Heavy Burden" single

Italian crust / grindcore squad HORRID HUMAN CONDITION returns with a blistering new single off their upcoming debut album, "Perpetual Imbalance", which will be released on April 18th 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

Watch the video of "Heavy Burden" HERE.

The band commented:

"'Heavy Burden' is one of our latest tracks and stylistically highlights our main influences: crust punk in a more aggressive form, bordering on grindcore.

The song deals with humanity’s ongoing struggle against injustice and abuse of power, forced to live daily amidst fear and uncertainty, increasingly caught in a relentless fight for survival. Living a dignified life, which should be a right for everyone, has become a privilege for the few.

The music video was filmed at the Caserma Liberata in Bari, a place known for its social inclusivity and a key symbol of the underground scene in which the band thrives".

Formed in the summer of 2022, the band emerged when Alessandro (vocals), Claudio (guitar), and Marino (bass) joined forces with Carlo (drums). Drawing from their parallel experiences in projects like laCasta and Nigredo, their synergy was undeniable. Within months, the band had written 14 powerful tracks, debuted live in March 2023, and recorded their material by December of the same year.

The name HORRID HUMAN CONDITION reflects the band’s visceral critique of modern society. Their music captures the existential and social despair of a world where systems designed to govern and sustain instead serve the wealthy and powerful—leaving the majority to bear the consequences. Themes of disillusionment with money, religion, morals, and politics dominate their lyrical landscape, exposing these as mere instruments of control.

Musically, the band channels this intense message through a raw fusion of crust punk and grindcore, genres perfectly suited to convey feelings of chaos and urgency. Expect a sonic assault of sharp, high-pitched guitars, sludgy, acidic basslines, machine-gun-like drumming, and vocals that scream with desperate energy. Their live performances are a cathartic and visceral experience, where the band forges an unbreakable bond with their audience.

With a debut full of fury and conviction, HORRID HUMAN CONDITION is poised to leave their mark on the extreme music scene. Time To Kill Records is proud to support their vision and looks forward to bringing their raw energy to a wider audience.
