Complete mastery of demanding, complex, technical, intricate and ultra-heavy music is one thing. The esoteric (but learned) ability to infuse those proceedings with melody, song-craft and memorable structure is another feat entirely. It´s a precise and deadly combination of skill sets. In this lofty pursuit, The Human Abstract stands mightily. The Human Abstract stands alone. The Los Angeles musical alchemists have perfected their art through careful distillation of their many talents with their third and astoundingly impressive full-length album, Digital Veil.
Harmony, melody, classical infusions and breakneck anthemic metal collide across a wide spectrum of compositions throughout Digital Veil. The opening track alone boasts four part guitar harmonies, two classical guitars and a diverse array of color and textures not normally found in the genre. Careening unfettered into territories both familiar and unknown, the record makes its way to album closer “Patterns,” possessed with a particular chromatic harmony that will challenge, unnerve and ultimately empower while lyrically exploring ideas about identity, personal transformation and purpose.
The Human Abstract has built a formidable reputation with their two prior full-length albums and nonstop road work touring with bands like As I Lay Dying, All That Remains and The Devil Wears Prada as well as festival packages like Vans Warped Tour and the Take Action! Tour. Undeniably Digital Veil will up the ante for their profile with fans and critics alike and the present incarnation is insanely impressive live.
