25 Years Ago: HUMAN REMAINS release Using Sickness as a Hero

I think it could have been better, but it represented us kind of well. I wasn't too happy with the mix; there was too much reverb on the drums. Next time we'll be better.

HUMAN REMAINS released their swansong, Using Sickness as a Hero, on this day in 1996 through Relapse.

I guess we were getting tired of it. Everybody in the band had different ideas and directions to go into, and it didn't work out, so we decided to stop. We're going to do our own thing, the bass player is doing his own thing now, and the guitarist is doing his own thing. Me, Steve, and Paul are going to be doing the new band [The Sky Is Denied].
