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

Hell fucking yes. No disrespect to Nathan because he was basically the voice of this band, but AJ played a significantly greater role in my opinion. Please for the love of god let AJ rejoin so you guys can have 3 virtuosic guitarists in your line-up.

Good luck with the singer search too.

Oh yeah, you know, because you obviously have such incredibly low standards for a vocalist that you can just barely poke your head of your mother's still contracting womb....dumbass.

Nathan's vocals on Midheaven were fantastic. They were unique, diverse, and more importantly, enjoyable in both of those aspects.Go listen to more Lamb of God; you fail.

That was the stupidest thing I've ever read. What the fuck does having low vocalist standards have ANYTHING to do with childbirth. Even if it is a metaphor; that was the most retarded thing I've ever read. By the way you suck at spelling and grammar. Faggot. Hahahahaha.

Oh and hardy har HAR! You're sooooooo funny, you fucking name yourself Cad Aver? Get a life.

may be an old post but...

yeah, Nathan had some pretty good vocals but as far as introducing diversity and flexibility into his part of the job, I think not.

Midheaven had its moments... and yes, its very different to Nocturne... all I know is, Midheaven could have been 100x better with AJ along ;)

Midheaven was a good album but just not as good as Nocturne. When I saw The Human Abstract with All That Remains at the Magic Stick in Detroit I thought they were going to suck, all I could think was damn Emu's get off the damn stage.....then they started to play and my mind changed real quick...

it doesnt make me happy on the inside that nathan is leaving..
no one can replace his smexy voice and old man face

but the fact that aj is back is worth a smile
maybe we will have a new and improved nocturne on our hands(with a dose of midheaven)

...but is it going to be worth it now that nathans left?

i'm pretty blown away... if aj's back in the band, what does that mean for tapely?.. did you guys just tell him to fuck off? i hope you guys put in some updates soon, this is such an undescriptive blog for such vast news.
best of luck nathan, you are a very iconic vocalist to me.

I think AJ is only writing isn't he? Tapely is probably also writing and staying for live guitar.

Also, sucks about Nathen, i'm sure you guys will find someone just as awesome. All the best to him in the future, look forward to seeing what he does next!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!..
....Having AJ back is a godsend for you guys. I think he made THA. Midheaven was NOTHING compared to the music genius that was Nocturne. And Nathan's voice was always average in my point of view. There was times I liked it, and times it turned me off. The main reason I listened to them though was because of the amazing music AJ wrote, so Midheaven was blah in my eyes. With him back, I can see a bright future!..

Nathan leaving is the best thing that could have ever happened! That guy kind of sucks. I'm ready for something amazing to happen in this scene. Hopefully you guys can provide the goods.
P.S. singers are outdated and overrated! Why don't you just make extremely technical music instead? It's what we all want.

Good luck guys, like you'll even need it, Nathan is indeed a VERY talented guy, but it shouldnt be hard for you all to find someone else.  Glad to hear about AJ of course.  Nocturne, still to this day is the only album I listen to EVERY DAY!  Lookin foward to the 3rd masterpiece!!!!

Glad to hear AJ's back, but very sad to see nathan go!!! I don't know what i'm gonna think about the new album without him! so, it better fucking rock with incorporating AJ into the mix again, or I will be pissed! I loved both the albums, but I'd like o see THA take a turn to the heavier side again! My little boy was soooo pissed cuz he loves Midhaven, cuz I won't let him listen to Nocturne, yet... newho, hope this goes well, and good luck finding a new singer to rock it.. But like nathan said, it's fucked up to have someone else singing your own lyrics...

..This is very sad news!!........And what you gonna do? another Nocturne, because Midheaven failed commercially?....suggests bad ideas...I think that Midheaven was a masterpiece!there was a sparkle in him!
....Nocturne is cool to, but it's a same metalcore as compared to Midheaven.......I do not present what will be a new album without Nathan...But i hope there will be NOT another nocturne.....

So.... does this mean AJ's just writing, or is he actually in the band? Because you make no mention of Tapley leaving. And three guitars would honestly be kind of dumb.
I hope you guys had a really good reason for kicking Nathan out. That totally killed every ounce of excitement the return of AJ has given me.

fuck this, this is such a shame.....Nathan was one of the most unique singers i have ever listened to. He was well rounded in all areas, and I agree, Midheaven was not as audibly-pleasing, but much more powerful in terms of lyrics and ideas. I can't believe you guys would do this to him. It is disgusting...
....In terms to AJ, this will be interesting. Considering he had already blown his chance wit THA it will be laughably intriguing to see the "effort" he will put forth to redeem himself. Hopefully you guys screw your heads on real tight, because I have a feeling you will probably loose them with this next album...

..Last I knew AJ wanted to do softer shit and that's why he left in the first place? Everyone wants your metal back, so did AJ change his style? Also I'm irked that everyone seems to think Midheaven was all Nathan's doing and he had like no influence on the friggin vocals of Nocturne. Nathan was not the reason Midheaven was softer!!! Jesus people. Anyway Nathan's AMAZING lyrics and versatile talent will be hard to replace. Sure, he's a difficult guy, but THA will not be able to replace him :(. ..
