HUMAN are a four piece metal / grindcore band from Christchurch, New Zealand. Formed in March 1992 they can lay claim to being not only the first band in the world to call themselves 'Human' (imitators beware) but also to being one of the longest serving and active metal bands in New Zealand music history.
The band, comprised of Scott Spatcher-Harrison (Vokills / Lead Guitar), Vaughn Richardson (Vokills / Distorted Bass), Kezz Brewster (Vokills / Rhythm Guitar), and Nikolas Kissel (Drums / Backing Vokills), have released several demo tapes, singles, music videos and released 2 full length albums. Most recently, they have completed work on a brand new album for 2009 titled "Cadaver Academy"
"Cadaver Academy" has been over a year in making. Work commenced on the album back in early 2008 until a line up change within the group brought about the idea of scrapping all of the recorded work and re-doing it with the new lineup. The result is an album containing 12 tracks of original grind, peppered with the usual insane lyrical ranting and frantic riffery HUMAN have become known for. Production-wise, "Cadaver Academy" is a step ahead of the previous album "Blood Bucket" - recorded almost entirely by the bands rhythm guitarist Kezz Brewster.
The tracks "We Come In Pieces" and "Blasting Through The Foreheads Of The Dead" represent the bands ability to not only hold back and play tight rhythmic chug metal, but also to take the element of speed and completely throw the rule book out the window.
HUMAN are making plans for a big future so keep an eye out for their next move. You can help support the band by either:
1) Become a MySpace friend (all requests are promptly answered)
2) Add HUMAN to your Top Friends list
3) Add a HUMAN song to your profile
4) Attend a show
5) Tell your friends about HUMAN
Pretty easy to do really, so make it happen and spread the word while the band does what it does best (that's yelling and screaming and roaring). Cheers!

My new 3 album box set ODESSA delves into the disgusting involvement the United States government had in hiding Nazi war criminals that were deemed, "intelligence assets", to be used against the Russians. ODESSA also examines the enthusiastic role the Franciscan Order, Argentinian and Chilean Governments, and Arab leaders who hated the Jews played in hiding and finding new homes for former fascists. It seems many nations had a reason to keep these monsters from being captured, and this is my attempt to expose the establishment of a Fourth Reich in South America that still exists to this day.
