SPB exclusive: Human Trophy - Primary Instinct
Human Trophy - Primary Instinct

We're midway through 2024 and we have a new stream of the month for you.

This month we're excited to share the second LP from Human Trophy, a cold and distant take on hardcore that's just as brutal as anything the genre has to offer while ironically breathing it new life. We encourage you to play the whole thing of course, but if you want a starting point check out the single “Tears of Eros” to get a feel for the band's blend of death rock, black metal, and gritty DIY that ringleader/mastermind Reuben Sawyer concisely summarizes as "antisocial music."

 

As a one-person project, there are no current live plans but follow Sawyer online for updates. 

Order it from Iron Lung Records, with preorders going live on July 5.
