Four years on from their last album,ONCE HUMANare primed and ready to launch a fresh assault on hearts and ears. With a line-up completed by long-time bassistDamien Rainaud, drummerDillon Trollopeand second guitarist (and now chief riff-writer)Max Karon, the band have mutated into an even more devastating beast, as demonstrated with face-ripping aplomb on new albumScar Weaver.

Pieced together over the last two years,ONCE HUMAN’s upcoming albumScar Weaverrepresents a massive step forward for the band. Blessed (or perhaps cursed) with plenty of additional time during the last year’s lockdown situation, the band have been able to refine and redefine their sound, inspired by a sudden creative surge from latest recruit,Max Karon. The result is an gloriously idiosyncratic modern metal record, withLauren Hart’s career-best vocal performance just one of its dazzling revelations. WithONCE HUMAN’s most intense and explosive music to work with, the singer has pushed herself to new heights, showcasing a vastly expanded vocal range in the process.

Damien Rainaud, bass player, came up with the title “Scar Weaver”, whichLauren Hartthought was brilliant for the song she was writing. WhenLaurenasked him his meaning for the words, he said “We all go through life creating scars onto others.. bad scars, and good scars. We are all Scar Weavers.
Lauren Hartadds “The ‘Scar Weaver’track is about dealing with my anxiety and catastrophic thoughts. I give a bad thought (which is ONLY in my head) a true reality by feeding it energy- thus, giving it life, to grow and completely engulf my mind. I ‘sew the flesh on my fears.’
We have an amazing record, we’re ready to crush it, we have a really good chemistry between all of us. We’re really good friends, and that’s really important. I think you can feel that when you see us onstage, like, ‘These guys are actually happy to be here and they like each other!’ That’s a bonus. It doesn’t have to be like that. But luckily we have a really cool, strong bond. It’s so important for us to get out there and connect with people in a real life environment,” saysLogan Mader.

Formed in 2014,ONCE HUMANhave steadily established themselves as one of the most distinctive and destructive metal bands of the modern era. Founded by guitarist Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head) and vocalist Lauren Hart, the LA-based quintet have had noses to the grindstone throughout their existence, exhibiting a tireless dedication to live performance and a meticulous approach to capturing their crushing anthems for posterity.
Over the course of two full-length albums – 2015’s widely hailed debutThe Life I Remember, and 2017’s conceptual tour-de-forceEvolutionONCE HUMANhave pursued a militantly individual path, eschewing contemporary cliché in favour of a versatile and sinewy new strain of brutal but accessible metal, with Lauren’s coruscating vocals providing an endlessly emotive and humane focal point.
Four years on from their last album,ONCE HUMANare primed and ready to launch a fresh assault on hearts and ears.
