Only Inhuman is the second album by the Swedish Melodic Death Metal band, Sonic Syndicate. Released May 18, 2007 in Europe and on May 22, 2007 in North America. It's also the first album the band released through their new label, Nuclear Blast.
The album was produced by Jonas Kjellgren, one of the guitar players of the Swedish melodic death metal band Scar Symmetry. A limited edition of the album features a bonus track, entitled "Freelancer," while the Japanese edition contains "My Soul In #000000" The album ranked number 22 on the Swedish charts after one week of sales.[3]
Only Inhuman was re-released in North America on May 6th, 2008. The re-release, dubbed "Only Inhuman Tour Edition" includes a bonus DVD containing the videos for the songs "Denied" and "Enclave" as well as a photography section and a live performance of the band, filmed in Cologne, Germany on June 21st, 2007.
Only Inhuman is sometimes thought to be the band's debut album since their actual debut album, Eden Fire, includes only rerecorded demo songs from their previous released demos while the band still was called Fallen Angels. (except the first three first songs Jailbreak, Enhance My Nightmare and History Repeats Itself)
