Human Remains was a grindcore ensemble originating from New Jersey, United States, established in 1989. The group featured vocalist Paul Miller, guitarists Steve Procopio and James Baglino, alongside drummer Dave Witte, who is also recognized for his contributions to Discordance Axis, Burnt by the Sun, and Atomsmasher. Their prominent release, the EP Using Sickness as a Hero, came out in 1996 under Relapse Records. In 2002, a complete anthology titled Where Were You When: 1989-1995 was released, compiling their entire recorded works.
The band earned acclaim for their original songwriting style that avoided common tropes, merging elements of grindcore, hardcore, and death metal. This distinctive blend played a significant role in shaping the more experimental sectors within grindcore, death metal, and noisecore genres.
