ALBUM REVIEW: Ground to Dust by Oh The Humanity!

Massachusetts shredders Oh The Humanity! take their signature mix of melodic punk and technical riffs to new heights on their latest LP, Ground to Dust, out January 24. With Trevor Reilly of A Wilhelm Scream at the production helm, the album stands as their most dynamic and ambitious effort yet.

Across ten tracks, Ground to Dust delivers the band’s hallmark fast-paced energy while exploring fresh territory. The razor-sharp guitars blend intricate metal-inspired shredding with punk’s raw edge and each song is packed with soaring choruses that offer singalong moments that are bound to become crowd favorites. 

From basement hardcore shows to major punk festivals, this is the kind of music that thrives in a live setting and is proof of the band’s unwavering commitment to their DIY roots.

What truly elevates Ground to Dust is its versatility. Whether it’s the rapid-fire technicality of the riffs or the undeniable emotional weight of the lyrics, there’s a sense of urgency and sincerity in every note. The album doesn’t just cater to one type of listener; it’s equally at home with fans of aggressive punk as it is with those drawn to precise musicianship.

Oh the Humanity! has always championed the unifying power of punk rock, and Ground to Dust is a record that refuses to stand still. It’s built for sweaty stages and nights of cathartic release.
