'Carpe Diem' is the highly anticipated third album from Sacramento band that have paid their dues touring with The Deftones, Slipknot, Soulfly and Fear Factory. Will Haven's music cannot be described, its emotion and power is something that you can only feel. The pounding rhythm section of bassist Mike Martin and drummer Mitch Wheeler makes the perfect background for Jeff Irwin's godlike guitars. The surreal voice of front man Grady Avenell adds the powerful emotion to compliment his poetic lyrics. Taking metal hardcore to an abstract level similar to Deftones, this record is honest, emotional, and chaotic. Revelation Records.

Carpe Diem can be seen as Will Haven's pinnacle in many ways. After great success with previous albums and riding upon the heels of tours with such bands as Deftones, Carpe Diem is a great question mark on the career of the band. Overall, this ten-song album finds the band picking up where previous works have left off. The vocals are reminiscent of Zack de la Rocha, with a throaty, hardcore yell, while the guitars dominate throughout. Will Haven is no doubt a brutal band and this album continues to show that to be the case. Unfortunately, many times the guitars are so prevalent that they overshadow any trace of the bass or the drumwork. While there are many gigantic grooves and abrasive riffs, it seems that much of this material could have easily been relevant on earlier Will Haven releases. Not a poor album by any means, but for an act who seemed ready to make the next big step, this is somewhat surprising. ~ Kurt Morris

If this album is, as the press materials insist, a "party-friendly free-for-all," then there's something seriously wrong with parties these days. That's not to say that the music isn't impressive, just that it's hard to imagine chatting up a girl or laughing with friends while this album is playing anywhere in the vicinity.

What others have said about Gary's music..."This is a new, cohesive, one-of-a-kind sound, an intelligent fusion of acoustic and electronic pianos, profoundly arranged." - Chiwah, The Light Connection"New age jazzbo Bryant knows how to tackle the form and not add cliches when it would be so easy to do so. A tasty work that incorporates his varied piano interests, this sixth album of his has plenty on the ball... this is one of the leading lights for the form and the area." - Chris Spector, Midwest Record Recap"This high-energy collection is jazz influenced with a hint of classical elegance and a touch of New Age. Bryant fuses jazz, New Orleans boogie woogie and romantic classical ballads into a new sound that is unique." - AccentGary Paul Bryant is one helluva pianist. Seriously. He has jazz chops up one side and down the other. -Brett McCallon, Splendid"This CD is quite wonderful and we will conitnue to give it good airplay."' KENW / KMTH"Gary plays a great set of keys throughout the album stopping along the ways at classical, New Age, and jazz for a sound that he can call his own." - J-Sin Smother.net"... ...
| | Mouse On Mars Varcharz CD (2006) Digipak
Carpe Diem
$13.19
Mouse on Mars: Jan St. Werner, Andi Toma.
This 2006 release (their first on the Epicac label, 10th overall) finds Mouse on Mars in a typically playful mood, but with perhaps a more frantic and harder edge than fans have come to expect. The beats here are aggressive, with abrasive layers of sound that build in intensity. The duo pays noisy respects to their Krautrock forebears on "Duul" and the Kraftwerk-esque "Retphase," and they hypnotize with the thwack-thump electronica of "Inocular." As un-bubbly as VARCHARZ may be, it is inspiring to witness an act still growing and poking at the edges 10 albums into their career.
Just in case anyone thought Mouse on Mars got too poppy and danceable on Radical Connector, its follow-up, Varcharz, is nearly its polar opposite: jagged, fractured, splintered, and downright violent-sounding, it's easily the most extreme music the duo has made, and is right in line with the rest of Ipecac's output. The album's squelchy, stuttering beats have ties to Mouse on Mars' noisiest, most abstract earlier work, such as Niun Niggung's "Distroia," but Varcharz is hardly a regression or a rehash. If anything, the way Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma repeat the tracks' simple themes and tweak them until they're just about to break into a million pixels makes the album among their most experimental work. This theme carries to song titles like "Chartnok" and "Retphase," similarly chopped-up bits and pieces of almost-recognizable words and self-explanatory, onomatopoetic syllables. "Bertney" is a particularly good example of Varcharz's modus operandi: beginning with a twinkling, mischievous melody that could've been borrowed from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, it's processed and disfigured until it's completely overridden by brutal hissing, ...
| | Meshuggah Nothing CD (2002) Bonus DVD; Remastered
Carpe Diem
$14.85
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Meshuggah: Jens Kidman (vocals); Marten Hagstrom, Fredrik Thordendal (guitar, bass); Tomas Haake (drums).
Meshuggah: Fredrik Thordendal, Mårten Hagström, Jens Kidman, Tomas Haake, Dick Lövgren.
Hailing from northern Sweden's thriving death metal/thrash scene is Meshuggah, a quintet whose origins date back to the late 1980s. NOTHING, originally released in 2002 and reissued by Nuclear Blast, features driving cuts packed with high-speed riffing, unorthodox time changes, and frontman Jens Kidman's disemboweling howl. Their earlier work shows the influence of bands like Exodus, but this album finds the band incorporating industrial-flavored nuances.
Within the realms of metal, few bands are more esoteric and left-brained than Meshuggah. These Swedes make music for clinically minded deconstructionists, and one really has to reduce Meshuggah's sound to its individual elements before seeing the overall picture. Nothing, their fourth full-length slab, only further cements their place as masterminds of cosmic calculus metal -- call it Einstein metal if you want -- and, to their credit, they're really the only ones to fall into said sub-subgenre. When odd riff cycles, robotic death vocals, neo-jazz chromatics, and mathematical songwriting are your primary weapons, it would seem easy to paint yourself into a corner creatively -- so where is Meshuggah to go after Destroy Erase Improve, the band's powerful statement of intent, and ...
