There are many long-forgotten bands from the nu metal era, most of them rightly consigned to fuzzy memories from a bygone time. But amongst the dross of that genre’s C-list there are a few who deserved more – and Human Waste Project are one such example. In fact, they probably didn’t deserve to be considered part of nu metal at all.
Formed in Huntington Beach, California in 1993 by bassist Mike Schartoff, Human Waste Project went through various lineups before settling on drummer Scott Ellis, guitarist Mike Tempesta and body-piercing studio employee Aimee Echo on vocals.
