Another casualty of the music business! Over the holiday break, it seems the final nail was put into the coffin of The Human Abstract, as the band have pretty much announced they have broken up. Earlier this year, they were dealt a crushing blow when vocalist Travis Richter decided to leave the band. They found a temporary replacement and did a few tours, but it seems like that was the last we'd hear from the band. Speaking on his personal Facebook page, bassist Henry Salva wrote the following when asked about the band's status:

“Fuck. How can I put this? Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading. It was hard enough answering fan question while I was working for Protest the Hero. Folks, we are not looking for a new vocalist. We are not touring anytime soon. I think it’s only fair you guys know that we’re on “break or hiatus if you will.” I don’t know why we haven’t said anything. I guess it’s because there is always that “maybe if something happens, etc..etc…” Or maybe it’s hard for us to realize the reality of our situation, the bands situation, to finally let go. I’ll be honest when I say the folllowing: Periphery and Never Say Die were our last tours together as a band. It was amazing experience while it lasted. Dean is going back to USC to further his education. AJ, as you know will always continue writing and teaching. Brett, I am sure has something up his sleeve. Thank you to everyone who came out to show their love for the band and the music. I’m proud to say that I got to perform and record along side such amazing musicians. Does that answer your question?” Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.

This is truly a bummer. The Human Abstract released one of my favorite releases of last year, and I was eagerly anticipating new output and the chance to see them live again, but I guess it's never happening. Weak sauce! [via Under The Gun Review]
