Once Human have premiered a new video for their new song “Sledgehammer.” Guitarist Logan Mader (Machine Head) said the following:
“‘Sledgehammer‘ smashes from start to finish. With insane riffs, relentless drumming and Lauren Hart just kills it!!! Vocally showcasing totally new and powerful cleans in the massive chorus hook, it marks a new chapter in Once Human sound. I had tons of fun producing and mixing this track. Utilizing more analog gear than I normally do it’s really explosive. Our last album sounds good, but this one actually smokes it.”
Once Human are streaming a live version of “Eye Of Chaos” from their upcoming live album “Stage Of Evolution.” That effort will be released on September 28.
Once Human, the band featuring former Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader, are streaming the studio version of their cover of Machine Head‘s “Davidian.“ The track was previously only available with the Japanese version of their latest album “Evolution.“ Mader commented:
“We had a lot of fun recording our cover of ‘Davidian‘. For me it was very nostalgic as an original performer and co-writer of the song. We released it on our last album but only as a bonus track for the Japanese market. After receiving many messages and seeing comments from fans outside of Japan wanting to hear the song, we decided to release it worldwide so anyone can stream it or buy it now. ‘Burn My Eyes‘ just turned 24 years old but the album still stands up as a memorable and influential album. This is our tribute to a great band and a timeless song.”
Once Human, the band featuring ex-Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader, will be releasing a new live album called “Stage Of Evolution” on September 28. You can check out “Flock Of Flesh” from the effort, along with the cover art and track listing below. Mader commented:
“I know it’s uncommon for a band who is not headlining to record a live album. We were able to pull it off because today’s technology and compact size of the necessary gear is a part of our everyday monitoring system. We had loads of fun on tour with DragonForce. I’m so glad we captured a nice piece of it to share with all our fans.”

Once Human have premiered a new video for their new song “Dark Matter,” via Revolver. This song is from the band’s new album, “Evolution,” which will be released tomorrow (February 17).
Lauren Hart said the following:
“This vicious new track, ‘Dark Matter,’ is about the dark energy in the world that affects us at our core. You can hold on to it and let it destroy you or you can let it flow through you and grow above it. It is there to strengthen you; letting it destroy you is a choice.”
Once Human, who feature former Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader, have recorded a cover version of Machine Head‘s “Davidian“ for the Japanese edition of their new album “Evolution.” That effort will be available on February 10.
Once Human have premiered a new video for their new song “Gravity,” via Metal Injection. This song is from the band’s new album, “Evolution,” which will be released on February 10.
Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head/Soulfly) said the following:
“We shot this new video once again with director Ron Thunderwood, because he gives us a lot of freedom to be ourselves. He is mostly a one man army, so the convenience aspect is awesome.
We love his passion and wanted people to see his versatility and skill outside of a controlled room. We worked with all natural light so we had a small window of time. The wind was so strong that we almost lost the drone and Ron had to chase it.
We were not expecting the wind and the dust, but we went with it anyway and in the end it really seemed to fit with the lyrics. The lyrics and the vibe of the video are nearly the same: constantly cloudy, unexpected, messy, racing complexities of the mind, and only a moment of clarity.
This new video also officially marks the debut of Max Karon on guitars. He’s an amazing guitarist and played a big role in the creative process with Lauren and I on our new album, ‘Evolution‘.
We are releasing this song as the 2nd single because it shows the more progressive elements within our album, has meaningful lyrics and displays Lauren‘s diversity as a vocalist.”
