In the wake of their furiously dystopian album, Gone Dark, Human Impact – the New York-based outfit founded by Chris Spencer (Unsane) and Jim Coleman (Cop Shoot Cop) – announce a string of tour dates in the EU and the UK.
About the upcoming dates, Human Impact says;
“Human Impact is really looking forward to playing our new material for a few weeks in Europe in 2025. As we continue to see the world get darker, we’re grateful to share our temporary antidote and point of view through the raw energy of an immersive live performance.”
The interplay between the musicians and the fury captured on record promise that these songs will be best enjoyed in a live setting. See dates below.

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 Cooper’s garage. Friendly blasts through vintage Unsane songs ultimately resulted in the rhythm section being fully absorbed into Human Impact.
“Jon and Coop bring incredible musicianship,” Spencer adds. “I feel incredibly lucky to be in a band with Jon. We’ve really clicked from the minute we started playing together. Cooper is awesome, and one of my best friends forever. We have a communication that I won’t have with just anybody. I can’t wait to fucking play this live.”
Recorded with co-producer Andrew Schneider (Ken Mode, Cave In) in Austin’s Cedar Creek Studio.
Gone Dark is available on CD, Digital, Black Vinyl and a limited webstore exclusive blue vinyl.
