Only Human Announce 2027 European Tour

With their debut album, ONLY HUMAN are on the verge of a major discovery. Critics are praising Planned Obsolescence for its cutting-edge fusion of prog metal, hard rock, electronics and existential dread over our dystopian future.

“[…] an outstanding Progressive album”, Metal Temple writes in a 9/10 review, “and in many ways, it might point towards where the genre is headed for the future”.

“[…] a powerful and thoughtful condemnation of a likely direction for our world”, The Progressive Subway writes. “Given time, ONLY HUMAN have potential to become a big hitter in the scene”.

Now, after storming the stage at Sweden Rock Festival, ONLY HUMAN are announcing their first tour of Europe. Next year, the existential prog metal band will join Uuhai, Acyl and Blossom Cult on Part I of the Human Herds European Tour.

In preparation for this tour, today, Only Human are releasing their first-ever live video, which was filmed during the release party for Planned Obsolescence. “Breach” is pushed past the brink of our existence by crushing despair, but the band’s chilling performance in Copenhagen is further proof that their future is impossibly bright.

“The release party for Planned Obsolescence was so special for us that we decided to document it”, ONLY HUMAN says. “It was our very first time headlining. Performing our new record in front of our home crowd was an incredible feeling. ‘Breach’ ended the evening on an extremely high note! Special thanks to the whole team behind us for pushing the extra mile”.

Watch ONLY HUMAN perform their brooding single “Breach” live in Copenhagen on the band’s YouTube channel.
