A melodic death metal band from San Francisco that blends industrial grooves with symphonic touches.
For a good sense of their sound, check out 'Devil Can Have You' or 'Scar Weaver'. Both tracks show how they mix melodic death metal with industrial grooves and symphonic touches.
Once Human matters because they deliver exactly what extreme metal fans want: unapologetically heavy, technically precise material that doesn't chase trends. Songs like 'Killers For The Cure' show their aggressive approach, built around pounding drums and blistering guitar work. They've maintained a consistent output since their 2017 debut 'Awakening', with Lauren Hart's vocals driving the intensity through three full albums.
The band formed in the San Francisco Bay Area around 2015, starting as a backing band for former Killswitch Engage vocalist Howard Jones. They released their debut 'Awakening' in 2017, followed by 'Evolution' in 2019 and 'Scar Weaver' in 2022. Some listeners questioned their use of guest vocalists early on, but they kept working with collaborators like Robb Flynn, who appears on 'Deadlock'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
