Stupid Human Suit derived from former members of other bands. Creative complexity is what drove the artists to create. Writing music really thrived by feeding off each of the band members creative inspiration. There has not been any activity on social media pages since 2016. After little activity was noticed, the Metal local staff was informed that some members were taking careers as truck drivers, so we may not see them together for a while.
Self-described as "The slag pile of Montana's music scene" UNDUN are often referred to as the "Black Sheep" of the Montana Metal scene. Having worked the scene for several years, they hold a strong number of fans from across the state. The lyrics are dark and sharp, with a message of exposing the darker side of nature and evidence of man's greed and waste.
