New Human Abstract album? (With AJ!!)
« on: November 14, 2009, 07:47:33 PM »
According to wiki (so take that for what it's worth):

Quote
In early 2009, The Human Abstract began opening their live set with a new instrumental, as-of-yet untitled song co-written by A.J. Minette.

In September 2009, the band has begun co-writing material for the new untitled album with A.J. Minette. Minette will also serve as producer on the album.

If true, :caffeine:

Yeah it could be alright. They have some good material, but I never thought they hit a high enough peak to be among the giants of metalcore.

Well he's not actually 'in' the band, but he's still writing which is what matters.

I'm not getting my hopes up.


Nocturne was a very strong debut, but overall a forgettable album.  They'll really have to come out with something good here.

This. I've heard many people say this, but I've listened to this album countless times and it hasn't stopped being incredible.

People give Midheaven a lot of shit, but it's a very good album too; A Violent Strike is arguably one of their best songs (and my personal second favorite), and Metanoia and This World Is A Tomb are great as well.

Agreed. My favorite song off Midheaven is Breaething Life into Devices.

His writing is repetitive.

Mmm, Nocturne. I didn't like Midheaven though. I hope the new album is more Nocturne-ish, but I doubt it.

Ladies and Gentleman! Fans, old and new! Dragons and warlords of the great mystical abyss!  Oh... and Steven Seagal! 

It is time we update you on some very important news. First and foremost, The Human Abstract will no longer be working with Nathan Ells. We want to wish Nathan the very best in his future endeavors. With that being said, we are now looking for our new lead singer. To clue everyone in, our new singer must be into Chuck Norris, Van Damme and most importantly Steven Seagal movies. We will be holding public auditions, so if you have what it takes please reach us at  THAvocalistsearch@gmail.com and we will respond to you with more information.  But that’s not all! 

We want to formally announce greater news!  We are working hand in hand with A.J. Minette on this next record which is well in the works. A.J. was the original guitarist alongside Dean for the band. Mr. Minette will be part of the writing force and will serve as producer for the third album. We are tremendously excited to be working together again. A.J. wanted to add, “Let me be the first to say…FIRST POST. NO ONE CARES. VAN FLIP”.

The process of completing this album has been prolonged and will take quite some time.  The last couple of months have been spent trekking the great forests in our region, chanting great Orca hymns under the moon light, searching for guidance.  It is what we have to do in order to write you all a classical masterpiece of epic proportions.  We have a couple songs in the works that are well underway to being completed. In fact we just finished recording a demo with AJ. 

Finally, we want to go ahead and finish off by thanking you guys, the fans, that allow us to travel and share our music worldwide. Frank Herbert once said, “Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.” 

Hmmmm new lead singer? Interesting.

I'm still not sure if A.J. is gonna record with them too. Or just help write.

He's writing and producing, but AFAIK he's not actually playing. Which doesn't really matter to me tbh, it'll be good just to have his songwriting back.

Whaaaat? He's a great growler, far more versatile than other metalcore vocalists, thanks to his austrian death machine solo album.
