ONLY HUMAN, a Danish band still new to the music scene, is already on the verge of resounding success with its debut album. 'Planned Obsolescence' warns of society's imminent collapse while propelling the genre in a decidedly avant-garde direction. Concept albums are commonplace in metal, especially progressive metal. But when the five members of ONLY HUMAN came together in 2023, they decided to build the very essence of the band around an increasingly prophetic idea. 'Planned Obsolescence' addresses the increasingly hostile grip of technology. \"Techno Fascist\" rolls in on a wave of deep, powerful riffs. The intrusion of rhythms, electronic sounds, and synthetic swirls into the heaviness of \"Breach\" reflects not only technology's infiltration into our daily lives but also the imminent threat it poses: that of making humanity obsolete. 'Planned Obsolescence' is imbued with existential dread, but that doesn't mean the album is devoid of hope. Nothing is broken or even obsolete about ONLY HUMAN. On the cusp of artificial intelligence, the band's fusion of powerful polyrhythmic riffs, unifying hard rock, and captivating electronic soundscapes is a breath of fresh air. With 'Planned Obsolescence', ONLY HUMAN reinvents existential prog metal for our dystopian future.\u003cbr\u003e\nFor fans of PERIPHERY, TESSERACT, NORTHLANE, SPIRITBOX.\u003cbr\u003e\nArtwork by Guillaume Blj.\u003cbr\u003e\nTracklist:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide A:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrift\u003cbr\u003eThe Sun and the Moon\u003cbr\u003eSteep Descent\u003cbr\u003eDeath Cult\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide B:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechno Fascist\u003cbr\u003eAutomata\u003cbr\u003eAspire\u003cbr\u003eBreach","brand":"Only Human","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56990480204120,"sku":null,"price":24003969.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0822603016758.jpg?v=1774645983","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/only-human_planned-obsolescence_2026_som","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
