"This fiery, oppressive album is a major musical event the French metal scene was due to deliver for months."

Through their crushingly intense live shows--you'll never be the same again--and their aggressive, richly textured songs, French metal band MINUSHUMAN is a revelation. The group straddles the boundaries between death metal, thrash and rock and takes us through their unique, oppressive, chaotic universe, highlighting the dire state of the world for anyone willing to listen. The band's debut album, "Watch the World Die," mixed and mastered at Conkrete Studio, France, sends the listener on a journey through the madness of men, who deface the earth and spoil its land and oceans in a frantic race towards their ultimate destruction--a one-way ticket to the depths of despair.

The record was released to unanimous acclaim on the band's official Web site, and keeps garnering accolades from the press (Vs Webzine: 17/20, 2008 pick of the year; Eklektik Rock: 17/20; Selection Metalship: 4.9/5; Heavylaw: 9/10; Destination Rock: 8.5/10; etc.)--and will be in stores 30th October 2008 via Season Of Mist.

MINUSHUMAN's music is fluid and powerful, like a tidal wave threatening to break at any moment and swallow the dregs of a dying world. Influenced by the likes of Strapping Young Lad, The Haunted and Metallica, MINUSHUMAN stands on its own, different and unique.

Thomas Billerey (rhythm and lead guitar), Cédric Moïse (vocals), Gaspard Jeanty Ruard (drums), Mickael Desmarie (bass) and Lionel Bouyroux (rhythm guitar) hail from Bergerac, a small town in southern France anchored to the land and the ocean it lies between, where they constructed this peculiar universe of melancholy, rage and positive, inspirational thinking. They spent the last 10 years crisscrossing the country under the moniker DARK POETRY, sharing the stage with other outstanding groups (Gojira, Loudblast, Samael, Crematory, Adagio, etc.) and building a solid fan base in the underground metal scene through intense, memorable live shows.

With the help of a new, dynamic management team, MINUSHUMAN Prod., MINUSHUMAN is now set to spread their message across France and Europe.

And their message is clear: the time to wake up is now!
