Greek Death/Thrash Icons CREMATE Drop Chilling Lyric Video for “Human”

Originally written over three decades ago, “Human” has evolved from a raw expression of 90s angst into a chillingly relevant commentary on our modern digital age. The track serves as a visceral thrash metal statement on the things society chooses to ignore: fear, pride, and hypocrisy.
