After 20 years of band history, the rock band HUMAN ZOO from Balingen/Germany had released their fifth album, ‘Echoes Beyond‘, in spring 2024, eight years after their last long player ‘My Own God‘ from 2016.
Once again, HUMAN ZOO prove that they manage to interpret rock music from the 80s in a modern but also unique way.
Up-tempo hits like ‘Gun 4 A While‘, anthemic rock songs like ‘Hello!’ and ‘To The Ground‘, bluesy-groovy stompers like ‘Waiting ‘Til The Dawn‘ or heartbreaking rock ballads like ‘Daddy You’re A Star‘ impressively show the wide diversity of the six musicians, and that an album doesn’t necessarily have to be boring after the first three songs.
In addition, HUMAN ZOO again integrate the saxophone in a purposeful and well measured way as part of the overall work and as an individual trademark.
Overall, the band delivers a firework of melodic rock music on the eleven tracks as well as an acoustic version of ‘Forget About The Past‘ with each song not only having a high level of recognition, but also increasing the sing-along level to 100%.
The band will be touring in support of the album and later this year to promote their new album.
The band also delivers a live rock show that is on par with the quality of their music.
Human Zoo is a quite unusual hard rock band.
The saxophone player in their line-up gives them some sort of extravagance.
For 15 years now, the swabian six-member band combines classical rock elements with modern effects, but without leaving behind the typical unique Human Zoo style.
Rousing melodies and grabbing refrains prove that there are capable musicians and songwriters at work.
In the year 2004 singer Thomas Seeburger, keyboarder Zarko Mestrovic and guitarist Ingolf Engler got together with only one goal – ‘Pure Rock‘.
In autumn 2005 Boris Matakovic (Subway) on the saxophone completed the band.
The position on the bass was occupied by changing musicians in the following years until Ralf Grespan joined the band in 2012.
Also the drum players changed some times until Matthias Amann joined the band in 2022.
The highly celebrated debut album ‘Precious Time‘ (2006), produced by Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69), astonished the press as well as the public in many places.
Human Zoo was elected as ‘Newcomer of the year 2006‘ in German magazine ‘Rock It!‘.
Just 16 months after the release of the debut album, the second, very strong longplayer ‘Over The Horizon‘ was released on 28th september 2007.
Having in mind the slogan ‘never change a winning team‘, Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69) and keyboarder Zarko Mestrovic also produced the second album.
The third album ‘Eyes Of The Stranger‘ was produced at MS and Maniac Studios by Chris Lausmann (Voices of Rock, Bonfire) and keyboarder Zarko Mestrovic and marks a further milestone in the career for Human Zoo.
The songwriting here combines classical rock elements with modern effects, but without leaving behind the typical Human Zoo style.
Human Zoo has been awarded with the INNOCENT AWARD 2016 by the Cute And Dangerous – magazine for their last album ‘My Own God‘.
This award confirms the successful collaboration between Chris Lausmann and Zarko Mestrovic.
According to the title of the current album ‘My Own God‘ (2016), Human Zoo emphatically prove that they have always remained faithful.
The new, fifth album will be released just in time for the twentieth anniversary on June 14th, 2024 under the title ‘ECHOES BEYOND‘.
Another milestone in Human Zoo’s fantastic rock history.
With numerous convincing shows at different gigs with the Scorpions, Gotthard, Y&T, BAP, Krokus, Pink Cream 69, Axxis, Bonfire and Axel Rudi Pell or on festivals like the ROCK OF AGES FESTIVAL (DE), the H.E.A.T FESTIVAL (DE), the ICE ROCK FESTIVAL (CH), the TENNWILL FESTIVAL (CH), the DEAD RIDERS FESTIVAL (CH) the ROCK IM WIPPTAL (AT), the BANG YOUR HEAD FESTIVAL (DE) and many more all over Europe as well as on the ‘EUROPEAN-NIGHTLINER-TOUR‘ with LILIAN AXE (USA) and their ‘KICKIN’ ASS OVER SPAIN‘ TOUR Human Zoo emphasized their position as an outstanding live act…
