Vargas states: "'Oblivion' is our take on a song that's been written a thousand times; self-loathing, the lack of will to push forward, and isolation. It was one of the first songs written for this project at the end of 2020 and was the track that got the party started. This is the quintessential DIEHUMANE song; weird, moody, abstract, and heavy."
West adds: "What started as a simple hobby file sharing project between friends culminates in the moment we have all been waiting for. Finally, we can answer the question on what we sound like. The track is such a broad scope of our abilities and it was the obvious first choice to put on display as a single."
Hilligiest says: "After years of hard work and impatiently waiting, I am thrilled to finally release some music. I honestly can't wait to see what the response to this is. What we have been listening to for roughly two years in its various stages, the world can finally hear."
Hunolt states: "After a lot of hurdles and preparation, we are finally ready to release. I have been blessed to be given an opportunity to play with a bunch of very talented guys and cannot wait for the world to experience a fresh twist on the metal genre."
Abruscato comments: "The first moment I heard the rough track of 'Oblivion', I was hooked. I knew I was going to create some killer drums for this song. I'm very excited for it to be coming out. I'd like to thank Oracle Management, WURMgroup and all the fans around the world that are going to enjoy this track."
DIEHUMANE was founded in Galveston, Texas at the end of 2020 by Vargas and Hilligiest as a way to deal with the loss and isolation of that year. From there it snowballed into something massive, with West, Hunolt and Abruscato all joining the fold.
DIEHUMANE is a band that swims about as far away from the other fish as it gets. It combines elements of doom metal, jazz, industrial, blues and prog. Imagine if CELTIC FROST got into a car crash with A PERFECT CIRCLE, NINE INCH NAILS and TYPE O NEGATIVE while listening to PINK FLOYD on the radio. DIEHUMANE is heavily rooted in mood and atmosphere, from the brooding to the cathartic, from the hopeless to hopeful. Love them or hate them, it's a musical ride that you can only get from them.
