Subsequent to the release of Systems Overload earlier that year, INTEGRITY would enter famed Mars Studio on Hallows Eve 1995; the result would be the true culmination of what the band had been working towards both music and thematically. Humanity Is The Devil was aural assault like no other at the time. From the guttural album opener, "Vocal Test" through the slow churning of "Jagged Visions Of My True Destiny," Humanity Is The Devil would completely defy genre standards and scene norms, and after two decades, the resulting waves are still as apparent as when it was released in 1996.

 

Organized Crime Records is proud to present this groundbreaking record in its ultimate 20th Anniversary Edition. Comprised of limited color 12" vinyl - unlike the original 10" release -- housed in a stunning five-color gatefold jacket featuring the iconic art by the legendary Pushead and layout by vocalist Dwid Hellion, this edition includes an updated version of the rare Humanity Is The Devilpamphlet, 16.5" x 22" poster, expanded artwork by Josh Bayer, and liner notes by guitarist Aaron Melnick. This version also includes the first appearance of the narrative story of Humanity Is The Devil by Frank Araca on vinyl, and will be pressed in a run of 1,000 copies. Once again, the world can experience an album that defined a movement.
