Description

Having made waves with their 2015 debut, ldquoThe Life I Rememberrdquo, the band has dramatically progressed beyond the melodic death metal sound of that release into something more complex, emotional, distinct, and devastatingly heavy. Evolution was not just the title of Once Humanrsquos sophomore release last year it was an armorplated declaration. And it evolved into something big. The video for their leadoff single ldquoEye Of Chaosrdquo by now gathered more than 7.5 million views on YouTube alone. As not only the comments below their YouTube videos prove, Once Human fascinate with their complex and emotional sound, their thick, contorted riffs and Lauren Hartrsquos unique and bloodcurdling voice.ldquoHoly shit I did not expect that voice come out of that bodyrdquo ldquoPossible to be turned on and terrified by a woman at the same timerdquo ldquoOkay shersquos kinda cute but I donrsquot expect muc HOLY SHIT SOME EXPLAIN HOW IN THE WHATrdquonbspStage Of Evolution is the consequential mutation of the Evolution album from studio to stage. It was recorded during last yearrsquos US tour and features not only songs from the studio album but also a cover of Machine Headrsquos ldquoDavidianrdquo, a track from their 1994 debut album Burn My Eyes, cowritten by Once Humanrsquos Logan Mader, nbspwhose name will be familiar to metalheads not only as the original guitarist in Machine Head and his late 90s stint in Soulfly but also for nbsphis production and mixing work on records from the likes of Gojira, Fear Factory and Devildriver. Beside singer Lauren Hart unleashing her forceful voice the track also features guest vocals by Fred Leclercq of Sinsaeneum and Dragonforce.I know itrsquos uncommon for a band who is not headlining to record a live album. We were able to pull it off because todayrsquos technology and compact size of the necessary gear is a part of our everyday monitoring system. We had loads of fun on tour with Dragonforce. Irsquom so glad we captured a nice piece of it to share with all our fans nbsp Logan With the lineup rounded out by drummer Dillon Trollope, bassist Damien Rainaud and guitarists Max Karon, everything about Evolution and its live counterpart Stage Of Evolution makes it clear that this is a band pushing itself to deliver something that truly stands apart.The product is available as digipak and digital, both for an unbeatable price.
