About Me




ONLY HUMAN has recently finished their new album titled "The Dismantling" and it is being well received by long time fans and newcomers alike. We recorded, tracked, edited & mixed with local Seattle engineer Don Gunn at Two Sticks Audio the new studio built and owned by Jason McGerr of Death Cab for Cutie.
The CD was mastered and features a guest guitar solo by James Murphy! James is most noted for his guitar work with Death, Testament, Disincarnate and two cult classic solo albums. He currently spends most of his time working as a world class engineer out of his Safe House Studio in Central Florida.
As a Band we are collectively working to bring about awareness to important issues both local and universal. Through raising personal consciousness and responsibility to new heights in our day to day lives, we are expressing a positive and challenging perspective through our music, lyrics and our live performances. We are working to spread this message through embracing our collective reality so that we might be able to progress forward together, to leave behind the unhealthy and destructive patterns that we've created for ourselves, which breeds the suffering we constantly experience as a whole that the universe deems literally unnecessary.
"Each human has a unique talent which, when discovered, nurtured, and truly lived, changes our own personal world. By living that pure true self beyond our limited beliefs, we slowly change the world around us into an experience of higher intention, greater freedom and possibility. Humans are conditioned to dissect, judge, separate, and tear down our reality. This fractures or cracks the unified reality of which we are all a part. Seeing unity and nurturing it will heal the cracks of separation and strengthen our relationship with the divine in us all. "
***Drunvalo Melchizedek***
