Humiliation (band)

Humiliation in Germany, 2019.

Humiliation is a Malaysian death metal band.

The band was founded in 2009. Releasing albums frequently, their brand of death metal is slow and groovy in the vein of Bolt Thrower and Asphyx.[1]

In the early-to-mid-2010s, the band often got less fortunate album reviews in Europe. Powermetal.de scored 2009's Face the Disaster as 4 out of 10; Metal.de gave that a 3, followed by 5 out of 10 to 2013's Turbulence From the Deep.[2][3][4]

Norway's Scream Magazine gave 2015's Battalion a 2 out of 6 score. Wrote the reviewer, "the material is completely devoid of exciting elements and times where one gets carried away. The whole thing is so bereft of ideas that it is a crying shame".[5] Metal Hammer Norway gave an even worse rating to Turbulence From the Deep, 2 out of 10. The reviewer detracted points for what he perceived boring and unoriginal fare.[6]

Blabbermouth rated Turbulence From the Deep higher, 6 out of 10,[7] and was joined by Rock Hard which bestowed the score 7 on both Face the Disaster and Battalion.[8][9] Webzine Teeth of the Divine reviewed Humiliation's albums as consistently great.[10]
