Progressive metal act The Human Abstract have officially entered the studio to record their upcoming full length for Hopeless Records.

New frontman, Travis Richter, had this to say about the pre-production/writing process,

“I can’t wait to see what Will plus our preparation equals – hopefully when we leave our album will be the sharpest arrow in the quiver. I don’t think I have ever put this much into the pre-production/writing process and this is my first stab at fronting a band this musical, so I’m genuinely excited and anxious to hear the final product”

While original guitarist/songwriter A.J minette had the following to say about his musical influence & inspiration for this record,

“It has been great to work with the band again. The writing process has been exciting and rewarding, but getting into the studio is something we have all been looking forward to. After going back to school and studying classical music for the past few years, I have developed into a different musician. I can’t wait to see the outcome in the studio”
