Erie, PA's Human Animal just released a video for Dark Days, which is a track off of their self-released EP from earlier this year.

Here's what the band had to say about it on their site:
Today is the day.  It’s time to drop our new video for “Dark Days”.  We had always wanted to shoot a video for this song as it was the first we ever wrote & also the title track from our debut EP that was released earlier this year.  We had a ton of fun filming it with Tyler from Press & Release Media and we think he did an amazing job with what we envisioned.  
The video features many of our favorite spots in our beloved city of Erie, PA.  The vacant lot where all of the band footage was shot is actually the former location of an old venue called Shooters.  Many of us saw some of our first live Erie hardcore shows there over 2 decades ago.  Now we can say we played there as well even if there’s no walls or floor!  We’ll definitely be working with Tyler again in the future for some new videos.

In the politically charged 1990s, there were a slew of bands whose music I loved even though I was vehemently opposed to some or all of their politics.  Abnegation were definitely one of those bands, and this 7" is a shining example of why.  I love chunky, metal-tinged hardcore, but always loathed pro-life sentiments, and I knew I was in for a battle within myself as soon as I heard the heartbeat opening the first track, "Birthright".  However, this definitely didn't stop me from buying Abnegation's future releases.

Human Animal is based out of Erie, PA and features members from such Erie luminaries as Brother's Keeper, Abnegation, Disciple, Shockwave and more.  This is also EMS' first turn at fronting a band, as opposed to his normal role as bass player.
They have recorded a 5 song EP and it's currently available for free download.

Here are some links to check them out:

Found this while cleaning... i know 7 pages is a lot, and i left a few uninteresting ones out. The best part is the explanation of why Abnegation is no longer on the label.
