BIOGRAPHY
Nasum (pronounced ‘nah-zumm’) was a grindcore band from Örebro, Sweden formed in 1992. The band released four studio albums, developed into “one of that country’s premier metal acts” and disbanded after the December 2004 tsunami killed the band’s frontman, Mieszko Talarczyk. The band’s name, Latin for “nose”, was taken from the horror film Flesh for Frankenstein.
In 2012, Nasum reunited with Rotten Sound frontman Keijo Niinimaa taking the place of Talarczyk, for a one-off tour to celebrate the band’s 20th anniversary.

Human 2.0 is an album by the Swedish grindcore band Nasum. The band came up with the title during 1999 as a reference to some of the panic over issues such as the Y2K bug.
The band decided that they wanted the cover to be white in order to stand out from the many dark album covers that other bands used.
Although the album Inhale/Exhale was never released in Japan, Relapse had made a deal with Ritual Records/Howling Bull for Human 2.0. The band had already had the idea of updating the title for the Japanese release and make it Human 2.01, with additional bonus tracks.
The album contains a number of references to popular culture. “Resistance” uses a quote from the movie The Matrix: “I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can’t stand it any longer.” The song “Sometimes Dead is Better” uses the quote “Welcome to the desert of the real”. In “Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow”, the beginning quote is from the movie The Shawshank Redemption.
