The Human Abstract Singer Leaves

2009-11-20 by elephantREVOLUTION | 62 Comments
The Human Abstract have parted company with lead singer Nathan Ells and will hold open auditions for his replacement.

The band posted the news on Facebook and set out the procedure for potential applicants.

They wrote: "The Human Abstract will no longer be working with Nathan Ells. We want to wish Nathan the very best in his future endeavors.

"With that being said, we are now looking for our new lead singer. To clue everyone in, our new singer must be into Chuck Norris, Van Damme and most importantly Steven Seagal movies. We will be holding public auditions, so if you have what it takes please reach us at THAvocalistsearch@gmail.com and we will respond to you with more information. But that’s not all!"


The group have also begun work on a new album with former guitarist A.J. Minette, who will produce and co-write the album: "We are working hand in hand with A.J. Minette on this next record which is well in the works. A.J. was the original guitarist alongside Dean for the band. Mr. Minette will be part of the writing force and will serve as producer for the third album. We are tremendously excited to be working together again.

"The process of completing this album has been prolonged and will take quite some time. The last couple of months have been spent trekking the great forests in our region, chanting great Orca hymns under the moon light, searching for guidance. It is what we have to do in order to write you all a classical masterpiece of epic proportions. We have a couple songs in the works that are well underway to being completed. In fact we just finished recording a demo with AJ."

YES! I thought THA would never recover from midheaven, but a new vocalist can only do them good and having AJ writing/producing should help a great deal.

All i care about is not listening to Nathan Ells whiny, bitchy sounding voice and his horrible lyrics. Its nice to see AJ back, though. Maybe they'll produce a decent sounding album.

God, Midhaven was a complete pile of shit!

I was under the impression alot of midheaven was nathan's doing, so this is good news. nocturne is pretty solid, and nathan's contributions to it were minimal (im pretty sure he joined last minute)

He was a really big, pretentious prick AND a horrible singer.

Fuck him and I hope he ends up in a gutter with an HIV infected needle in his arm. Not really, though.

He's just a huge asshole.

I loved both Midheaven and Nocture and I did like Nathan, sad to see him go. But AJ returning? Hell yes sign me up.

Did they post the reason for Nathan leaving at all?

"i guess im the only guy who liked midheaven on here."
I liked it. I think it's a pretty good album if you pretend it was a different band recording it. But it's a definite step down from Nocturne.

I actually kind of liked the singer, but maybe getting a new one will do the band some good. Hopefully.

Nathan was cool when I talked to him last year. Not "pretentious" or anything. Spot on with the live vox.

Nathan might not have been the best singer, but he had a verrrry unique and easily identifiable voice and style. That's the only thing I'm worried about. Hopefully their next vocalist can bring something to the table equally as fresh as what nathan brought.

But gawd damn just the thought of AJ being a part of this band again makes my panties a bit soggy

Because he was spot on with his live vocal performance?

Maybe you caught him on a bad day or something. No reason to call me tone deaf.
