Last guitarist Travis Richter had become Ells' replacement.[5]In
November 2009, Herrera confirmed through a Myspace blog that Leonard was
no longer in the band, "Sean is not technically in the band anymore...
However, we have not ruled out the possibility of him having some sort
of presence on the next record. He decided that touring wasn't for him,
and wanted to go to music school."[6]In April 2010 Travis Richter
revealed to Absolutepunk.net in his first interview since becoming The
Human Abstract's new frontman that A.J. Minette had officially

speculation via Facebook with the public message:A few weeks after
Digital Veil's release, they announced that they would embark on what
would be called the "Pull Me From The Gallows" Tour with Scale the
Summit. Its name comes from a line in their latest album's title track.
The band has posted an update via Twitter on 31 May that the remaining
dates will be canceled "...due to a sudden and devastating loss to the
THA family." [8]As of 24 August 2011, Travis Richter parted ways with
the band, citing a desire to focus on his girlfriend and amateur
electronic music side of his career.It has been announced that Ryan
Devlin, frontman from the band Corelia, will be filling in for the "Frak
the Gods Tour" headlined by Periphery.[9]On December 29, 2011 bassist
Henry Selva, when questioned over why he was selling equipment,
announced that the band was calling it quits. "Folks, we are not looking
for a new vocalist. We are not touring anytime soon. I think it's only
fair you guys know that we're on "break or hiatus if you will." I don't
know why we haven't said anything. I guess it's because there is always
that "maybe if something happens, etc..etc..." Or maybe it's hard for us
to realize the reality of our situation, the bands situation, to
finally let go. I'll be honest when I say the following: Periphery and
Never Say Die were our last tours together as a band."[10]On February
8th, 2012 guitarist Dean Herrera was asked on his Formspring page
whether they would'vebroken up even if Richter hadn't left the band.
Herrera had replied stating that the band had never actually come
together to decide the fate of the band. "as far as im concerned we
aren’t broken up, that was Henry going out and spewing the inner
workings of the band. We never actually came together and decided
anything. I’m still real pissed at him for that. Sure we’re taking time,
but that doesn’t mean anything other than that... Taking time.. As far
as travis.... who knows... can’t say what might have happened."[11] On
July 16, 2012, via his personal Facebook profile, vocalist Travis
Richter expressed a desire to return and make another album with the
band if the other members reconciled their differences. Richter said,
"Life would be a lot easier if we could just make another human abstract
record - music for me is only alive when there are releases - even
touring is second when you create art on that level."[12]On February 11,
The Human Abstract released a cover EP of Beethoven's 3-movement
"Moonlight Sonata". All guitars were recorded by Dean Herrera during the
Digital Veilrecording sessions with engineer Will Putney in 2010. The
EP is available on iTunes only.
