Pretoria-based Progressive Deathcore Extraterrestrials Human Nebula have released “Veil”, their brand new single.
“Veil” is about change. It’s about seeing your life and the world around you for what it really is. It’s about finding the courage to do something about it.
We all get stuck at a boring job and wonder what could have been. We’ve all walked past a person in need and did nothing about it. The world is a sick, ugly place, but it doesn’t have to be.
“Veil” is about reconnecting with reality and finding pride in your existence. It’s about satisfaction in the good you can do and trials you’ve overcome. You don’t always have to get so caught up in how your boss degrades you, or how social media depresses you. It’s not real life!
Check out the lyric video for “Veil” below:

More info about Human Nebula
Human Nebula is a geometrical blend of earth shattering chuggs, interplanetary melodies and metamorphosing screams. The band was formed in late 2017 when Gareth Reed and Kyle Botha came up with the idea.
Gareth Reed explains:
“I wanted to create something that satisfied my carnal need for brutally heavy music, but also contented my ambition to make something progressively alluring and beautiful”.
Kyle Botha comments:
“We wanted to make something that allowed creative freedom and eventually not need any direction from the members themselves, but rather would shape and form itself into what it needs to be with all the different elements blended into it.”
With vision in mind and word of mouth, the people who would come to mold and define the concept were recruited. Namely Tim Lotter, Dale McHardy and Gavin Grobbler, no auditions were needed. And together with their creative input and exceptional writing; evolved the project into something beyond measure: into the band you see before you today.
Almost a year of writing, recording and practicing took place until Human Nebula launched under the name on 17 November 2018 for their first live show and EP release entitled Pillars Of Creation.
Human Nebula has subsequently been working hard at conquering the world. They played in the Wacken Metal Battle final a few months after their formation. The band was recently nominated for several South African Metal Music Awards (SAMMA) and is set to open for Brazilian Black Metal Band NervoChaos on their South African Tour later this month.
