Humanimal was a musical project fecturing Pontus Norgren (Great King Rat) and Marcel Jacob (Talisman).

The band's name idea come from Marcel Jacob who used the following quote: "...we might be human but in the end, we still being animals".

The main idea was have a hard rock record with 3 singers: Leif Sundin (Great King Rat, John Norum, Michael Schenker Group), Jeff Scott Soto (Talisman, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) and Mats Levén (Krux,At Vance, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen).

After some research and testing, they decided to go with one singer, because they also thought it would be easier for the listeners if they only used one, and well they choosed to Jeff Scott Soto.

After that, again Norgren and Jacob were thinking about who could be the best drummer that they should use for that kind of musical project and they choosed to Tomas Broman (Great King Rat, Electric Boys, Amaze Me,Hughes Turner Project Glenn Hughes).

They released their 1 only record on January 28th, 2002 in USA and February 1th on Europe, but by popular demand the record label have to made a second edition to reach at least 3 european contries.

Also in June 17th, 2002, the record label released a 3 track EP called "Find My Way Home".

In May the band played a couple of shows to support it. Unfortunately, this was not a good moment for the guys owing to some personal, professional and legal problems. Pontus and Marcel had a falling out and this meant that Pontus was out both of Talisman and Humanimal, then on October 19th of that year, Humanimal split.
