We as Human's story starts in Sandpoint, Idaho, and turns on a lucky break: in 2010 Skillet frontman John Cooper came across the band and steered them to Atlantic Records. By September 2011 they had moved to Nashville, which stayed home base for the rest of their run, and in 2013 their self-titled album arrived, with Justin Cordle singing lead.
This is Christian rock that has no interest in staying in the church basement. The band shared stages with Skillet, Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Alter Bridge, Papa Roach and Shinedown, and the record is built for those bills: hard, heavy and aimed at the back of the room, with "Take the Bullets Away" and "Strike Back" leading the charge. It worked on both fronts, too, finding an audience among Christian listeners and mainstream rock fans alike.
The band broke up in 2016. That same year former members Justin Forshaw and Jake Jones teamed up with producer Robert Venable and started over under a new name, As We Ascend.
