Human (band)


Human is a death metal band from Christchurch, New Zealand.
Human was originally formed on 8 March 1992 by brothers Paul and Scott Harrison, and vocalist / guitarist Nathan Ballard. The bassist Vaughn Richardson joined them in May of that year.
Human entered Nga Matuaka Studios in May and recorded a 3 track demo cassette titled "Organ Splatters" which was distributed freely throughout the heavy metal underground / tape swapping networks around at the time. The band later appeared on a September 1992 addition of New Zealand's 60 Minutes programme on TV3 as part of a documentary that focused on suicide and depression, and the connection to heavy metal music.
Human has toured and recorded several times since then and continues today.
