Human the Death Dance is the third solo album by Sage Francis, released on Epitaph Records on May 8, 2007. The title of the album is also the title of a poem by spoken word artist Buddy Wakefield, who is signed to Francis' record label, Strange Famous Records. Excerpts of this poem, performed by Wakefield, appear at the end of the tracks "Hell of a Year," "Keep Moving," and "Black Out on White Night."
In the months leading up to the release of the album, Sage Francis released a number of promotional videos online. These included a video of Bernard Dolan in an Evel Knievel costume whilst attacking his fridge, a sound clip of "Underground for Dummies" over a video of Jack White recording the White Stripes album, Icky Thump, and a sound clip of "Clickety Clack" over a video including a clip of Star Wars kid.
