*i've been receiving many a phone request lately for more "metal songs". So in order to appease the masses,...i have incorporated a few "metal" tunes, thus satisfying (hopefully at least for now) the Everett/Seattle areas need to shamelessly air guitar huge metal riffs and breakdowns in front of their living room window. in keeping my promise then, i chose The Human Abstract as my featured band of the week. Hailing from the music hotbed of los angeles The Human Abstract completely outdue themselves on their sophmore release and unleash an album that is as progressive as it is technical, appealling to true metal heads and your occasional rock n' roll listener alike.
