Human is the fourth studio album by American death metal band Death, released on October 22, 1991, by Relativity Records. The album marked the beginning of a major stylistic change for Death, being more technically complex and progressive than the band's previous efforts.
At about 34 minutes long, Human is Death’s shortest album. This is both a blessing and a curse. This record holds the lowest quantity of engaging ideas and writing centerpieces but they’re properly spread out with the shorter runtime.
- Derek Riggs. There is one face more synonymous with metal than that of any musician: Eddie, AKA Ed The Head, AKA Ed Hunter, the zombified mascot of Iron Maiden who was created and painted by artist Derek Riggs.
- Wes Benscoter. It’s rare that an artist can make extreme metal’s horrific face look elegant and poetic, but Wes Benscoter found a way. While his most recognizable work is certainly the cosmic skeleton from Slayer’s 1994 album Divine Intervention, denizens of metal’s more horrifying hells will recognize his art from albums by Kreator, Cattle Decapitation, Mortician, Nile, and Autopsy to name a few (his cover for Autopsy’s Tourniquets, Hacksaws, And Graves, included above, being especially spectacular).
- Joe Petagno. The primal, evocative artwork of Joe Petagno can be seen all across heavy metal as a whole, gracing album covers by bands including Angelcorpse, Spirit Adrift, Autopsy, Marduk, and Genocide Pact (to name a few).
- Ed Repka. When one thinks of thrash metal art, they usual picture an Ed Repka album cover. The painter’s ability to draw nuclear wastelands and rotting corpses in livid detail helped define the genre’s entire look, both in the ’80s and during thrash’s return in the late ’00s/early 2010s.
Oct 22, 2021 · Opening track “Flattening of Emotions” features one of the more memorable intros ever. That it transitions into an aggressive churn against Schuldiner’s wicked vocals is beyond reproach.
Jan 14, 2019 · Ben / January 14, 2019 / Comments 0 / 1. One of the finest albums in extreme metal, Human deserves every bit of praise it receives. “All words and music by Chuck Schuldiner.” That line can be found in the album sleeve of Death’s fourth album entitled Human.

Was human a good ERA for death metal?
To me, "Human" is Death's first technical death metal album; one which would lead to other masterpieces in the same style like "Individual Thought Patterns", "Symbolic" and "Sound of Perseverance". To name the album " Human " is ironic because the musicianship on this recording is uncanny!
