The Human Abstract – Midhaven

Just leaked. Listening now.

Not quite as exciting as Nocturne upon first impression, but still intelligent and skillful progressive metal.

The Human Abstract – Nocturne

April 2, 2008


The band’s name references a poem of the same title by William Blake, an English poet from the 18th century. The Human Abstract is a technical/progressive/mathy metal band from California. Their 2006 album, Nocturne features many guitar sweeps and tapping sequences. These guys are talented. The rest of the band keeps up fairly well. The vocals leave me wanting more, but as I said, the guitars are great fun to listen to.

ATTN DRUMMERS AND METAL FANS:
You HAVE to check out the double kick at the end of (what I think is called) Song 11 JSRec. The song isn’t on Nocturne, but i’ve included in the archive as a little bonus!
