Human
About Human from Christchurch
HUMAN formed in early March 1992. Their first album cover for the demo "ORGAN SPLATTERS"
was actually drawn with their logo in place late 1991, showing that the
beginning of HUMAN was planned much earlier. Existing members of that
first line up of the band are Scott (guitars / vocals) and bassist /
vocalist Vaughn, who joined the band during it's infancy just after the
recording of the aforementioned demo and has been a focal member of the
group since May 1992.
After countless shows, releases, songs, tours, interviews etc,
HUMAN have stuck with their own sound and style, completely against the
grain of "popular" metal, the like of which will not be named here.
Yes, while others may be selling out to get their albums sold and
videos shown on television, HUMAN settle for the metal fans to discover
it for themselves. That's the underground way!
It's been almost 3 years since the release of their last CD "BLOOD BUCKET" which spawned a rash of popular tracks and the band spent much of 2008 recording the follow up titled "CADAVER ACADEMY".
In June 2008 the band parted ways with long time drummer Paul and
brought in Nikolas Kissel to the line up. Upon hearing Nik's skill
behind the kit, the band decided that it would be in the best interest
of the group and it's fans if the material they had recorded were to be
scrapped and started from scratch. The bands' frontman Scott explains:
"We want to make the best album we're capable of making. If that means
we should have better drum tracks then so be it - the whole band feels
like it's the best move to make. People waiting for this album will
know it's worth it."
