I KNOW THE HUMAN ABSTRACT, SIR, AND STONE SOUR ARE NO HUMAN ABSTRACT

The new record by The Human Abstract is going to be called Digital Veil. Vince and I visited the band in the studio while they were recording the album a couple of months back, and since then we’ve had the chance to hear a few finished songs, and between the two experiences, we’re ready to predict that the album is gonna be a huge “win” creatively. Noisecreep has a new interview with bassist Henry Selva (no, not Henry Silva), and you should definitely check that out. Digital Veil comes out January 25, and you should be really, really excited to hear it — I know I am.

What does any of this have to do with Stone Sour? Nothing. Less than nothing. But Stone Sour’s new video is for a song called “Digital (Did You Tell)” (See what they did there?), and the word “digital” got me thinking about The Human Abstract, and how much more I’d rather hear Digital Veil than anything by Stone Sour. Thus, I started rambling.

ANYWAY, here’s the Stone Sour video, if you care. It uses a pretty girl, quick edits, and lots of flashy images to try and convince you that something interesting is happening, even though nothing is actually going on. Like a Michael Bay movie. Like the exact opposite of The Human Abstract.

Did I mention that Digital Veil comes out January 25?
