SongVault Artist Profile

Human Cycle began their cultural and musical performance in the year 2004.
Influenced by different styles of musical and cultural matrix, the
members of the group found in the heart of the band, a balance between
rock with a touch of soul (soul rock) and electronic rhythms.
Lyrics are key elements in the life of the group, since the different
social, cultural and philosophical realities in which we are living, are
revealed through their texts.
The songs of Human Cycle expose a variety of social and philosophical
issues that concern people and society in general.
After many concerts in several stages and the
commitment over the last 2 years, the outcome has arrived and the third
record of the band will be released under the name "Lead the Way".
