Human Impact, the laser-precision noise-rock alliance of Unsane frontman Chris Spencer and Cop Shoot Cop squallmaker Jim Coleman, have returned with Gone Dark, the band's second full-length album. Gone Dark is not a cry from the darkness but a shout through the darkness, a robust proclamation of resilience and opposition in the face of impending apocalypse. The Human Impact arsenal is more formidable than ever thanks to the addition of two more noise-rock veterans: bassist Eric Cooper (Made Out of Babies, Bad Powers) and drummer Jon Syverson (Daughters). Spencer had spent the 2020 Covid lockdown working on a cabin in the East Texas woods and would travel into Austin for informal jam sessions with the pair in the bass player's garage. Friendly blasts through vintage Unsane songs would ultimately result in the rhythm section being fully absorbed into the Unsane and Human Impact lineups for their 2022 European tours. Recorded with co-producer Andrew Schneider (Ken Mode, Cave In) in Austin's Cedar Creek Studio, Gone Dark is a fiercer, tighter upgrade of Human Impact's taut grooves, brittle guitar shards, impassioned shouts and clouds of dystopic noise.
