Once Human is an American melodic death metal band from Los Angeles, California, founded in 2014 by music producer and former Soulfly/Machine Head guitarist Logan Mader. On September 4, 2015, the band released its debut album The Life I Remember through earMUSIC.
In 2014, after Mader had spent more than a decade away from the stage, Monte Conner of Nuclear Blast sent Australian musician Lauren Hart to Mader for a production deal. Once they met, Hart switched from guitars to vocals. Damian Rainauld then joined on bass with Ralph Alexander stepping in on percussion. Mader chose not to recruit well known musicians, as he wanted his band to be neither a supergroup nor a side project for each of its members.
On May 26, 2015, the band released a lyric video for title track "The Life I Remember". A similar video for "Terminal" was released on July 10, 2015. Just under one month later on August 7, 2015, the band published "You Cunt", their first music video showing the band performing their song alongside a theatrical plot. It was around this time that Ralph Alexander and the ensemble parted ways, with Dillon Trollope and Skyler Howren joining the band on drums and guitar, respectively.
From late August 2015 until the end of September 2015, the band toured the southern, midwestern and southwestern United States with Fear Factory, The Bloodline and Before the Mourning. Near the beginning of the tour, their debut studio album The Life I Remember was released via earMusic.
