Humanity's Last Breath is a Swedish deathcore band, formed in 2009 by guitarists Buster Odeholm (later known as the drummer for Vildhjarta and Thrown) and Kristoffer Nillsson. They released their debut EP Reanimated by Hate in 2010, and their self-titled debut album three years later. Their second studio album, Abyssal, was released in 2019, and their third, Välde, in 2021. In 2023, they released their fourth album Ashen.
The band is known for their blend of deathcore, djent, doom metal, and blackened death metal, and have been compared to acts such as Meshuggah and Vildhjarta, utilizing polyrhythms. They have described their sound as "Thall".
Buster Odeholm, who serves as the band's guitarist, producer, and primary songwriter, has also been credited with shaping the modern "thall" sound associated with Humanity's Last Breath and its offshoots. Gear Gods wrote that "when it comes to dialing in ultra-tight, low-tuned metal tones, few players have refined the process like Buster Odeholm".
