New Zealand metal celebrates a milestone on June 23rd as Christchurch's Human throws a party for their 20th anniversary in their hometown.

HUMAN are marking their achievement of surviving 20 years in New Zealand metal by performing a special show at the newly revamped Dux Live (363 Lincoln Road) and have recently stated that the show will be filmed and recorded for a live album / video release later on in 2012. So the more people attending on the night, the better! The band will be playing material from all of their old-school demos up to and including new material from their forthcoming album 'Mystery Meat' which is due for release later on in 2012.

Support bands Dissolution, Awakened Inferno and Lebowski kick off the event. Doors open 9pm.

Tickets are only $7 (plus booking fee) and available now from Under The Radar / http://www.utr.co.nz/ and there will be limited door sales on the night.

Starting out in 1992, HUMAN have continued to create and refine a unique blend of tongue in cheek humor into their music which ranges from blast beating grindcore to thrash to pile driving rock and everything in between. Guitarists Scott Spatcher-Harrison and Kezz Brewster wield their ultra crunchy 7 & 8 string sonic machines to inflict tight punching rhythms, matched by the distorted wall of bass from Vaughn Richardson, with the linchpin Daniel Pawsey and his explosively solid drumming style holding it all together. Throw three layers of roars, screams and growls into the mix and you have HUMAN - like 4 crazed lunatics playing on a jungle gym made of razor wire.

The band have most recently released a new single (titled ‘Teenage Bonesaw Massacre’) via internet-only radio stations to much acclaim and high praise from metal fans around the world, including Japan, Holland, Greece, Italy, England and the USA.

With 20 years of hard work under their belt, the lads that call themselves HUMAN are far from putting their feet up and calling it a day. More info on the band can be found on their official web pages:
