The Human Condition

It is rare that you come across a band that possesses that raw metal edge with soul invoking melodies. The Human Condition has sculptured a nihilistic attitude that defies and questions the foundations of every ideal sensibility. Their upcoming release "From the Cell" explores the cause and effects of unscrupulous ideologies with a very intimate and elusive lament for hope. From the shackled enslavement we all face in our daily jobs in ”Golden Handcuffs” to the no-holds-barred – don’t-look-back mad dash for freedom in “Escaping”, THC relentlessly hammers at mankind’s own introspective nature. Listening to the songs as a whole is like being confronted by an onslaught of our own making. The songs give a voice to our conscience and demand an honest reckoning with our beliefs and actions.
THC was formed in 2000 when Sacred Reich lead guitarist Wiley Arnett, Saint Madness vocalist Patrick Flannery, Bludgeon bassist Scott Twitty, and drummer Brian “Muley” Webb began to build a local scene presence. In 2003 THC released a self titled 4 track demo. In 2004 Patrick Flannery left THC and Ryan Chester “Ry” became the new lead vocalist, solidifying the THC line-up. In early 2006 THC released a six song demo called "The Means" which received positive reviews. However, the band was not satisfied with their sound and went back to the drawing board. The result is an eight month recording session with a full ten song release entitled "From the Cell" which captures the bands musicianship, identity and highlights the strength of their compositions.
Upon stepping into the daily world of THC, you’ll find the members constantly laughing and sarcastically analyzing anything that crosses their path. They seem to enjoy engaging in wild philosophical charades or to mercilessly ridicule each in a battle of wit. But when the instruments are on and a song begins it’s all about pushing the music envelop. When the song is over, you’ll immediately see the laughter and the ridicule seep back in while they critique their own performance… until the next song begins.
The Human Condition is a new era band. They bring a balance of musical maturity with a lighthearted outlook on life, an intriguing contrast to their music. It’s a pleasure to hang with them and a rush to see THC perform. Welcome to the future of arena rock.
