Modern metalcore outfit HUMANKIND return with their most emotionally charged track to date. Their new single “Black Sands” dives deep into the weight of responsibility carried from a young age, pushing their blend of modern heaviness and melodic vulnerability into even darker territory.

Following the release of their lovely EP in August through ROAR – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music (Stream/Download HERE), which showcased their ability to fuse metalcore grit with cinematic emotion, HUMANKIND now sharpen their focus with a track that hits harder both musically and lyrically.

The band explains:
“‘Black Sands’ deals with the burden of having to carry great responsibilities from a young age. Everything is a struggle, nothing comes easy, nothing is given for free. It addresses the longing for a tangible being or higher power that lifts the weight off our shoulders and takes us into its embrace, allowing us to finally rest and realise that life is more than just fighting and suffering.”

Produced, mixed, and mastered once again by Christoph Wieczorek (Sawdust Recordings), “Black Sands” pushes HUMANKIND’s signature sound to new emotional extremes. Crushing guitars, soaring hooks, and a sense of relentless pressure define the track, capturing the band’s blend of modern metalcore, post-hardcore atmosphere, and raw confessional energy.

HUMANKIND continue to cement themselves as one of the most promising acts in the new wave of alternative heavy music: honest, melodic, intense, and unafraid to confront the internal battles that shape us.

Following a series of previously-released singles, modern metalcore outfit HUMANKIND drops their first EP via powerhouse label ROAR, led by focus track “lovely”.

“lovely” is a dramatic reinterpretation of Billie Eilish’s global hit featuring ENEMY INSIDE vocalist Nastassja Giulia.The song shifts between fragile intimacy, raw vulnerability, and massive, heavy emotional intensity, transforming a global pop anthem into a cathartic experience that creates a release that lingers long after the last note. The accompanying music video brings both vocalists together on screen, capturing the song’s raw emotion and chemistry in a way that is impossible to ignore.

HUMANKIND states: “From our perspective, “lovely” is an artistic, yet honest and dramatic engagement with mental issues or physical diseases that can’t be healed immediately. Sometimes we have to accept the situations we find ourselves in and learn how to live with them until they eventually improve. The decision to realise the song with two vocalists shows that we’re not alone with our struggles and will find comfort and help if we openly vocalise our issues and find others who are fighting similar fights.”

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Christoph Wieczorek (Sawdust Recordings), the four-track EP underlines HUMANKIND’s abilities to fuse modern metalcore energy with emotional depth, firmly establishing themselves among the new modern wave of forward-thinking post-hardcore and alternative rock music acts.

Following previously-released tracks “Fed Up” and “The Darkness I Own”, up-and-coming modern metalcore act, HumanKind, have shared a brand new single, aptly-titled “Humans”. The song is now available to stream and download on all digital providers below. In 2023, the band released their much-acclaimed debut album “An End, Once and for All”, and are currently hard at work on their sophomore full-length offering, to be released via ROAR in the hopefully not so distant future. 

About their new single, the band reveals:
“Humans critically reflects on our role as humanity on planet earth and how we constantly manage to detrimentally treat each other and our surroundings, until one day there will be nothing left. It asks two main questions: Where will it lead us? Who’s gonna save us?”

Founded in 2022, HumanKind aims to express themselves through their music, reaching others to inspire them and give them the strength to overcome their own limits in unity with others. The five-member band, dressed in the style of modern metalcore, radiates a unique energy with many melodic influences and intense breakdowns, rooted in and shaped by the life experiences of its members.

HumanKind’s debut album, “An End, Once and for All”, addresses the challenging and deeply human theme of dealing with one’s own mental struggles and conditions. The songs, same like the new single “Humans”, were produced by Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay, Sawdust Recordings) to provide them with the sonic impact they need to convey their message. The purpose of the album is to offer listeners a silver lining on the horizon and to assure them that they are not alone. “An End, Once and for All” is a gripping and emotional journey that conveys the message of unity, trust, and creativity through the universal language of music.

In January 2023, HumanKind signed a record deal with Rock of Angels Records, now operating as ROAR, a sub-label of Reigning Phoenix Music, giving the band new perspectives, greater opportunities, and broader reach for their second album. Watch out and stay tuned for many more news and album details to follow soon!

German rising modern metalcore upstarters, HumanKind, have unveiled a music video for their brand new single “The Darkness I Own”! Following the band’s much-acclaimed debut album, “An End, Once and for All” (2023), HumanKind are currently hard at work on their sophomore full-length offering, to be released via ROAR. Following the previously-released, first single “Fed Up” (listen HERE!), today, “The Darkness I Own” marks a new promising harbinger.

Guitarist Maria Kimberly Huehn comments: “The Darkness I Own deals with depression and mental issues as a constant companion in life. Sometimes healing is not possible and we have to learn to accept the circumstances we find ourselves in, yet drawing strength from this acceptance and learning to persevere and finally prevail.”

Following their much-acclaimed 2022-debut album, An End, Once and for All, modern metalcore act HumanKind has surprised fans with a brand new song! While the band is currently gearing up for their sophomore studio album – to be produced, mixed and mastered once again by Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay, Sawdust Recordings) – a music video for the high-voltage, new banger “Fed Up” is now premiering below.

“Fed Up screams right in your face: “It’s enough!”. This song has been written from a deep state of not wanting to endure the same torture and helplessness again and again,“ the band comments, and adds: “It’s crucial to break the cycle at the exact point when we’ve decided to pursue new ways and write the next chapter to become the person we ought to be. Fed Up is the musical rethinking of HumanKind in the wake of partly shifting the focus to the more dangerous and wrathful aspects of having to deal with mental issues in our everyday lives.”

HumanKind comment on the song: “Shadows deals with faith. It’s about hope; about something or someone that always watches over you. Someone who knows how hard life can be and how much pain you have to endure, being human. A shadow that will always follow you and that will always be there for you when you need someone to lean on. We are not alone in our struggles! Darkness and light; only together they form the conjunction that is life.”

“Lead the way, lead the way; I’ll be the shadow that will forever stay…”

“Born this way, fallen from grace…”

“I will be the warm wind that will make you break away; the ray of hope that turns the night into another day…”
