HUMANIST is a big ambitious project, a rush of future rock’n’roll, orchestrated by multi-instrumentalist / guitarist / songwriter and producer Rob Marshall. The debut album (21 February 2020 Ignition Records), showcases the vocal talents of Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode), Mark Lanegan (Queens of the Stone Age) and Mark Gardner (Ride) among others - a heady brew, masterfully conducted by Marshall (guitarist of Exit Calm and co-writer of Mark Lanegan’s celebrated “Gargoyle” album) who wrote, played and produced all the music: a swirling Niagara of fuzzed-out industrial melody and noise, flowing into darker, more brooding territories, the boom of drop forges in shadowy, cavernous factories pounding white-hot steel… 
 …perhaps it’s in the blood: Rob hails from Teesside in the North East of England, a land of blast furnaces, petrochemical estuaries and fiery skies, the broken heartland of the industrial revolution. 
Rob’s previous incarnation was the critically acclaimed Exit Calm. 
 Rob also writes and produces for other artists…
