Modern metalcore outfit HUMANKIND return with their most emotionally charged track to date. Their new single "Black Sands" dives deep into the weight of responsibility carried from a young age, pushing their blend of modern heaviness and melodic vulnerability into even darker territory.
Following the release of their lovely EP in August through ROAR - A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music (Stream/Download HERE), which showcased their ability to fuse metalcore grit with cinematic emotion, HUMANKIND now sharpen their focus with a track that hits harder both musically and lyrically.
The band explains:
"'Black Sands' deals with the burden of having to carry great responsibilities from a young age. Everything is a struggle, nothing comes easy, nothing is given for free. It addresses the longing for a tangible being or higher power that lifts the weight off our shoulders and takes us into its embrace, allowing us to finally rest and realise that life is more than just fighting and suffering."
Produced, mixed, and mastered once again by Christoph Wieczorek (Sawdust Recordings), "Black Sands" pushes HUMANKIND's signature sound to new emotional extremes. Crushing guitars, soaring hooks, and a sense of relentless pressure define the track, capturing the band's blend of modern metalcore, post-hardcore atmosphere, and raw confessional energy.

HUMANKIND continue to cement themselves as one of the most promising acts in the new wave of alternative heavy music: honest, melodic, intense, and unafraid to confront the internal battles that shape us.
