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.”  

 

Adios for now,

The Human Abstract

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
        The guys and I find ourselves in Baltimore, MD where we will be performing tonight. The venue? The Ottobar. We had the lovely opportunity to hang out with our friends in AILD and God Forbid last night at Rams Head live. You may have heard of a small tour they're on with Lamb of God.... :)
        Anyways, Tapley, Dean and I drove up to San Luis Obispo before our Headlining tour started, to meet with Derek (AR for Ernie Ball) and check out the Ernie Ball Factory and see where our awesome guitars are made. It was a real cool experience. While we were there, we recorded a video for Ernie Ball which we would now like to show you all! Its basically a short interview of us three talking about our guitars, following with a small performance of 'A Violent Strike'
You can find this video on Ernie Balls YOUTUBE page, along with many other artists they support. So with that said, now that all of the guys are up, we're going to catch some lunch and get the day started. Let us know what you think.
HOPE TO SEE ALL OF YOU SOON.

-Henry

the time has come.

after 5 long years as a band we have decided to FINALLY headline a full north american tour.

we are bringing Oh, Sleeper - a band that performed their first tour ever with us and if hope dies back in 2006, a band called iwrestledthebearonce - their guitarist steven has been a friend of mine since we were 13 and both in local bands, and a band called Vanna who we played a random one off show with in mccallen texas back in 2006.

This may very well be our last tour of 2009 as we will enter the studio soon after the tour to begin work on our next record.

we will be playing songs from Nocturne and Midheaven that we have never played before and will be accepting requests, so please come out and hang out with us in may!
