THE HUMAN ABSTRACT Parts Ways With Guitarist

February 10, 2011

California metallers THE HUMAN ABSTRACT have parted ways with guitarist Andrew Tapley (pictured below). He writes in a post on his Facebook page, "This wasn't decided by me; however, there are no hard feelings."

He adds, "Thanks to everyone who supported the band these past few years and to all the wonderful friends I had the pleasure of meeting. I will be in Los Angeles continuing with music; art is long and time is fleeting."

Tapley joined THE HUMAN ABSTRACT in 2007 and played on the band's sophomore full-length album, "Midheaven", which came out in August 2008 via Hopeless Records. He is also reportedly featured on the group's brand new CD, "Digital Veil", which will be released on March 8 via eOne Music.

After releasing a pair of records via Hopeless Records, THE HUMAN ABSTRACT's forthcoming album will mark the bands third official full-length. Founding guitarist A.J. Minette has also returned to the band and couldn't be more excited. He states, "It has been a pleasure working with THE HUMAN ABSTRACT again. I am looking forward to supporting 'Digital Veil' out on tour."

THE HUMAN ABSTRACT will take part in the Atticus Metal III tour with DARKEST HOUR, BORN OF OSIRIS, AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK and more running from February 25 to March 27.
