"Human" is the fourth studio album by the influential American death metal band Death, released in 1991 on CD format by Combat Records. This groundbreaking record marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of extreme metal, introducing more technical and progressive elements to Death's sound. With tracks like "Flattening of Emotions" and "Lack of Comprehension," "Human" showcases complex musicianship and thought-provoking lyrics that have made it a landmark release within the genre. The band's founder, Chuck Schuldiner, is widely regarded as one of death metal?s pioneers, with Death being credited for shaping and advancing the style through their innovative albums such as "Leprosy," "Spiritual Healing," and later works like "Symbolic." Combat Records played an essential role in promoting underground metal acts during the late '80s and early '90s, helping bands like Death reach wider audiences while maintaining artistic integrity.
Absolutely brilliant album from start to finish. This is one of the best metal albums of all time and Chuck Schuldiner is a musical genius. His ability to write songs, lyrics, and play his instrument is unmatched. But you likely already knew that.
