The Human Abstract Lineup

2008-02-07 by Josh D. | 20 Comments
AJ Minette, lead guitarist from The Human Abstract, has departed from the band. THA have cited creative differences as reason for his leaving.

According to the band, AJ was tired of playing metal. He is quoted as saying "I don't feel like I can get onstage and feel honest

about playing metal anymore".

A replacement has already been enstated: 24 year old Andrew Tapley has taken over his duties. Additionally, THA have added a keyboard player in Sean Leonard. The band is continuing production of their sophomore album with producer Toby Wright.

The band still plans to be on the Take Action Tour with Every Time I Die, From First To Last, The Bled, and August Burns Red starting February 14th.

For more information, hit the band's MySpace.

Andrew Tapley played with The Agonist I'm pretty sure.

I predict a definite new sound with THA now. With at least half of the sweeps.

He was their lead guitarist? Well hopefully their new one doesn't play warp up sweeps 85% of the time and call it a solo. Still an alright band who I can imagine doing good things with a keyboard.

I can't wait for the sophomore release. These guys have way to much potential to call it quits.

Also, I think that a keyboard player will simply open up some new doors. I always thought some keys would add to their sound...

**** you.



It's true though. If someone were to read up on what Mormons believe, and decided it was truth, then there is no doubt in my mind that their intelligence level is very low.

I was going to post a comment about religion, but Josh D. said it for me in a much, much nicer and tolerable way.

I heard he left to spend more time on his release, 'The AJ Minette Arpeggio Sweep Instructional DVD'.

Does this mean half the album will be written by AJ and the other half by Andrew Tapley?

Either way this should be interesting.
