German rising modern metalcore upstarters, HumanKind, have unveiled a music video for their brand new single "The Darkness I Own"! Following the band's much-acclaimed debut album, "An End, Once and for All" (2023), HumanKind are currently hard at work on their sophomore full-length offering, to be released via ROAR. Following the previously-released, first single "Fed Up" (listen HERE!), today, "The Darkness I Own" marks a new promising harbinger.
Guitarist Maria Kimberly Huehn comments: “The Darkness I Own deals with depression and mental issues as a constant companion in life. Sometimes healing is not possible and we have to learn to accept the circumstances we find ourselves in, yet drawing strength from this acceptance and learning to persevere and finally prevail.”

Founded in 2022, HumanKind aims to express themselves through their music, reaching others to inspire them and give them the strength to overcome their own limits in unity with others. The five-member band, dressed in the style of modern metalcore, radiates a unique energy with many melodic influences and intense breakdowns, rooted in and shaped by the life experiences of its members.
HumanKind’s debut album, "An End, Once and for All", addresses the challenging and deeply human theme of dealing with one's own mental struggles and conditions. The songs, same like the new single "The Darkness I Own", were produced by Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay, Sawdust Recordings) to provide them with the sonic impact they need to convey their message. The purpose of the album is to offer listeners a silver lining on the horizon and to assure them that they are not alone. "An End, Once and for All" is a gripping and emotional journey that conveys the message of unity, trust, and creativity through the universal language of music.
In January 2023, HumanKind signed a record deal with Rock of Angels Records, now operating as ROAR, a sub-label of Reigning Phoenix Music, giving the band new perspectives, greater opportunities, and broader reach for their second album.
