The 'finger Return with their Album 'dream Days at the Hotel Existence', the Band Recorded their Sixth Studio Album at the Studio One Studios in Los Angeles, with Rob Schnapf Producing. It's the First Time the Band have Created an Album Outside of Australia. Here's Bernard Fanning Explainign the Story Behind the Title: "The Album Title Comes from a Book the Brooklyn Follies by Paul Auster, which I was Reading During the Recording. It Seemed Very Appropriate with Its Ramshackle Plot, Large Cast of Characters and Escapist Idealism. To a Bunch of Chaps from Brisbane it is Very Much What Los Angeles Can Seem Like".

Loved It.......2007-07-11

I completely enjoyed this CD, you can listen to the whole cd. I was sick of the music playing on US radio stations (always same songs, same artists) and I was bored of my cd collection already. I went searching for something to listen to and found powderfinger, what good timing, with Dream Day being released, I also purchased Vulture St. and also loved it,(more rock).

**I think they are my new favorite!!

Yet another great album from the boy from Brisbane.......2007-06-20

What a fantastic album. Powderfinger delivers again with some fantastic rock songs.

Better than Vulture Street, but not Odyssey #5.......2007-06-12

I was worried that Vulture Street, although good, was the beginning of Powderfinger's fall from their peak, Odyssey #5 (this is obviously just my opinion). Dream Days seems to be better than Vulture Street after a few listens. IMO its not better than Odyssey or Internationalist. But a very strong album indeed. Not a bad track on the album.

A Destructive Force.......2007-05-08

The second album by these Oakland band shows a slight change in sound from 2003's "Hate.Malice.Revenge", but it also shows that the band is still strong and shows no signs of letting up. A new vocalist is on board, and the guitars are more melodic and technical than ever. The drumming is excellent as well. This is how a hardcore influenced death metal CD should sound like. It retains the technicality and brutality of death metal, yet it keeps that hardcore attitude. Check this out if you want a CD that displays a young band making a big impact.

Best Cd EVER!!!!!!!!.......2007-03-08

If I was stranded on a desert island.... THIS IS THE ONE! HARD/GRIND/METAL-Core!

This album will crush you like a tank.......2007-02-22

Not a single word can't even describe how much I love this album, I mean everything about it is absolutely mindblowing. I enjoyed All Shall Perish's 2005 debut album "Hate, Malice, Revenge", which was no doubt a killer album, I love it alot, but however their latest scorcher from 2006 "The Price of Existence" blows that album right out of the water, and it's also one of the best metal albums of 2006 as well. This album is just like an onsluaght from hell and like I said before, it will definately crush you like a tank from start to finish. Aside from the instrumental Track 7 "Greyson", "The Price of Existence" is an all out vicious onslaught of sick insane vocals, earth shaking guitar riffs, devastating breakdowns, and sick, fast jackhammer like blast beats, and double bass kicks that will definately please the true metalhead, and there's even some gang shouts on a few songs too. On this album the band even has a new lineup including new vocalist Hernan "Eddie" Hermida and new lead guitarist Chris Storey. The vocals from Eddie are just absolutely sick and vicious on here. He can go from brutal death growls that sound like a beast being awaken from it's slumber to savage killer shrieks that will make your ears bleed. Guitarists Ben Orum and new lead shredder Chris Storey (who I mentioned earlier) deliver an ever so vicious onslaught of heavy earth shaking riffs, shredding leads that will make you head spin and some great solos courtesy of Chris including on songs such as "Eradication", "Prisoner of War", "Better Living Through Catastrophe", and "The Last Relapse". The rhythm section of bassist Mike Tiner and drummer Matt Kuykendall is just absolutely unstoppable on here. Mike has great audible bass lines, and Matt's drumming is insane yet incredible. "Eradication" is a great fast heavy opener that gets the ball rolling within a matter of seconds, and the solo by Chris is just awesome. Other heavy brutal scorchers on here including "Wage Slaves" and "The True Beast" feature some brutal gang shouts that will get your fists pumping. Another favorite song on here and my personal favorite "Prisoner of War" features some catchy punching riffs, a lengthy solo from Chris, and an addicting double bass drum beat near the end. Every song on this album is a winner in my book. Bottom Line: This album is no doubt one of the best metal albums of 2006, and I guarantee that All Shall Perish are going to be around for a very long time. If you thought Slipknot were heavy, this band and this album will just crush you like a tank. There is no doubt that these guys are the future of modern death metal. Overall highly recommended for fans of Skinless, Suffocation, Dying Fetus, Misery Index, Despised Icon, The Red Chord, Converge, or any fan of extreme heavy music, buy this album now, I guarantee you'll love it. All Shall Perish Rules!!

Brutality at its finest.......2007-02-15

Listen to the end of Wage Slaves, if you dont enjoy it, you hate metal.

MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-02-10

The most extreme, technical and twisted death metal album I have heard in a while, inspired by Cryptopsy, Nile, Diseased (remember them?), 80/90s Floridian death metal and...Pantera. For a while, a serious candidate for number 1 or 2 of my last year's finest, but eventually outshined...Lots and lots of highly technical, lightning-fast riffage, "POE" contains also THE coolest riff since Pantera's "Walk" on the extremely brutal "Wage Slaves", my favorite song on the CD...Although the main emphasis is on aggression and speed, multiple spins reveal a fair amount of melody and catchy hooks owing as much to modern metal/hardcore as to the best of thrash...Although not 2006's best or even second best (Mastodon and Insomnium, respectively), definitely the most devastating album of last year well worth the bronze medal I gave it!

Former Tristania mastermind, Morten Veland returns with another ingenious album while bringing a fresh sound into the rock and gothic scene. The epic songs and symphonic arrangements on An Elixir for Existence surpasses the high standard set with his striking debut At Sixes and Sevens. Terje Refnes' elegant Sound Suite production provides charm throughout without taking away from its heaviness.

Customer Reviews:

Lovely Album.......2007-03-28

A very good album. Their nothing in this album that would really dissapoint the listener. The lyrics are very well written as well as the music. Morten vocals are very powerful in this album. I love Henritte vocals, even though she wouldn't sing a lot, but its really good. Favorite song out of it is Lithium and a Lover amd Euphoria.

Lacuna Coil doesnt have anything on Sirenia! (4.3 stars).......2006-07-05

This album is very enjoyable and relaxing with some good heavier part thrown in. Which is how good Gothic Metal should sound. Not like the processed commercial sound that pathetic excuse for a Gothic Metal band Lacuna Coil has.

This album is exactly what you would be looking for in a Gothic Metal band. Good, growly Black Metal vocals coming from a male, and a sweet symphonic angels voice coming from a beautiful female singer, along with some good guitar riffs and cool yet relaxing electronic, keyboard, and piano sounds. Theres even some violin play in the songs!!!

The only thing bothering me about this album is the structure of all the songs go in the same pattern. Growly vocals, then clear. Or growly, clear, growly, clear. The songs become predictable in that vocal sense. But in every other aspect this album is a fine example of todays Gothic Metal. I strongly reccommend it.

Suck it up Lacuna Coil. You lose.

DAMN!!.......2005-10-18

Wow! Morten Veland is a genius. For a man to make such as awesome of a comeback after leaving Tristania as he does, Morten forever holds my respect. This is the perfect goth metal album. I have been looking for this sound for years. The music sends chills up my spine, maintaining that metal sound, yet adding so many things in the background, such as violins, chilling keyboards, Gregorian chants, and orchestrations. The vocals are done in the beauty and the beast technique, combining female vocals with high and low-pitched growls. This is a must for any fan of Tristania, Theatre of Tragedy, Sins of Thy Beloved, and even Nightwish or Within Temptation.

THE SIREN'S SONG.......2005-07-31

First of all, I want to say that this band is very appropriately named. Sirens were the part-woman part-birds (sea nymph) that sang sailors to their doom by misleading them. And the cover art to this album (all of their albums, in fact) IS misleading. With sirens being female and a female being shown on the cover, one would think that this is another female-led band like Within Temptation or Nightwish.
Not so!
Fortunately I read the Amazon reviews before I bought it, so I didn't get misled. I was hoping for a female-lead for this group, since that's what it looked like at first, but I also don't mind growling every now and then. And to Morten Veland's credit, he growls his lyrics coherently. I've seen too many bands with lyrics written down and then when they sing them it's like "agjalghuahjühahg!!!"
As for the female singer, she only sings about two or four lines per song, even if she gets a song all to herself (Save Me From Myself). She's not bad, but she can't compare to Tarja from Nightwish or Sharon from Within Temptation.
There are only three songs on this CD that I liked: "Lithium and a Lover" has great, catchy background music and good lyrics, male growling, female singing, and a choir. This one is my favorite.
"In My Darkest Hour" has some great guitar work at the beginning and they repeat it about halfway through the song.
"The Fall Within" has background music that sounds almost exactly like that from "Lithium and a Lover", but of course I liked that track so much that more of the same doesn't really hurt.
And that is where my main complaint with this CD lies. I got that annoying sense of Deja Vu when I listened to the background music on several of the songs. They started to sound the same, some of them. And the other songs were not up to my standards. I do appreciate though that they have a purely instrumental piece at the end. Not a very good one, but at least they tried.
If you like growling, the groups that I like to listen to and consider my standards are: Finntroll, Einherjer, and Within Temptation. If you like female vocals more than you should try: Nightwish, Evanescence, and Within Temptation.
Overall, this CD is not all bad. It's convinced me to give their earlier album a try and I'll look forward to their future projects and maybe you will, too.

Another great Gothic/Death metal band........2005-04-17

Sirenia continues to reing on my top ten favourites list. This band is perfect, everything from the guitars, to the epic choir chants. The whole cd is good, buy my favourite songs on this album are: "Lithium And A Lover", "Voices Within", "A Mental Symphony", and "Save Me From Myself". This band's sound is another example of a great combination between Gothic and Death Metal. I personally like Metal bands that use choirs, so naturally Sirenia instantly became one of my favourites. This is a great buy for anyone who is into bands such as "Tristania" "Penumbra", "Nightwish", "Within Temptation", "Ashes You Leave", etc...

A Timeless Classic.......2007-06-26

This is the first PM Dawn album I ever purchased. I played it one time and I was hooked on their music forever! It is very rare that you enjoy every song on an album, but that is just the case with this one. Even though the tempo changes from song to song, this album plays very fast. There are three cuts on here I have to turn up when I play them: "When Midnight Sighs", "Ways of the Wind", and of course the legendary "Die Without You". Like the group that created it, a great CD, you'll be happy you purchased it.

13 Years Later and It's still amazing.......2006-08-23

I first purchased this album back in my sophomore year in high school and unforunately lost it in 1999 (left it in my dorm room at college) and Now I have finally bought my replacement copy. Aw the memories this cd brings back. Like another reviewer said, this is a great album to lift your spirits. It just puts you in such a mellow, positive mood, it's great. my only problem, is that the newer release of this cd - cds that were printed in 1997, leaves a song out. So on and so on, which is supposed to be track 3 (This CD was originally a 15 track disc, now for some reason it's only 14). Even though it wasn't one of PM Dawn's strongest songs, i miss it being on the album. But if anyone appreciates this little group, then you HAVE to purchase this cd.

almost perfect.......2006-04-15

This cd and the first one belong in the top 5 cd's I have ever heard along with Bebel Gilberto-Tanto Tempo, Our Lady Peace-Spiritual Machines, DJ Cam-Mad Blunted Jazz, and B-52's-Cosmic Thing. The chilled out vibe and trippy melodies are awesome.

12 Years & It's Still Fantastic.......2006-03-02

I was ripping old CDs today and popped this in. I love this album. It's so rich, emotional, and inventive that it's the affectionate thorn in my side everytime I say, "I hate all rap music!" This is just a totally wonderful experience. I've listened to it over and over and over and over and it stirs my senses everytime. Buy it! But if you're looking for your generic hardcore, mean-spirited, hip-hop/rap crap ... you'll be sorely disappointed by the wonders recorded by these fellas back when music could still be fun, fresh and touching in its expressivness.

Don't be fooled, this is REAL HIP HOP.......2005-08-20

This was the 3rd P.M. Dawn album I purchased. I was expecting it just being mainly all singing, as Jesus Wept was. I am glad to say I was wrong. It actually is the album that probably has the MOST rapping on it. Maybe even more than the debut.

The album starts with, "When Mightnight Sighs". The first time I listened to this song I was in the car and I found myself singing along by the time the chorus came around.

The second song "So on & so on" was basically an all singing song, but I really enjoyed this one, because the vocals were delivered very quickly.

Next comes Plastic. This is straight up hip hop. Prince Be comes with the power of Chuck D ready to tell people how he feels about the negative attention the hip hop community has given them. (that's how I saw it)

The production/music on Ways of the Wind is very beautiful. Crazy ass bassline too. I must say the production/music on this album is on point. It's close, if not as good as the first album.

Next comes, "To Love Me More". I am not a a big fan of the slow singing songs, but when they are put around a bunch of upbeat songs with rapping, it has a good balance and you appreciate them a lot more. I think this song is fun and keeps things versitile.

One of my favorites "About Nothing for the Love of Destiny". This song is great. The music is top notch and the chorus is simply amazing. The sarcasm (i hope) in the chorus is great. "I like the way you change your looks, I like the way you change your style..I like the way you talk about nothing". I LOVE the little synth SOLO. I LOVE IT!! haha.

The cover of the Beatles "Norwegian Wood" was actually pulled off reallly well. The drums are straight up boom bap. Not a big fan of covers unless they cross music boundries, and this one definately does.

"Beyond Infinite Affections" is straight up hip hop once again. I don't know how P.M. Dawn could get any backlash from the hip hop community when they make songs like this. It's better than the majority of hip hop.

"Looking through Patient Eyes" sounds like Set Adrift Part 2. heh. Nice mellow song.

"Filthy Rich, I don't wanna be". I love the lyrics in the verses, not a big fan of the chorus though.

"More than Likely" is my least favorite song on the album. It's a duet with some guy and it really sounds like he needs to CLEAR his throat. It sounds very mucas filled, at one point you can hear it try to clear itself. Eek.

"The Nocturnal is in the house". Another banging hip hop track. nuff said. Coming battle style, whatever happened to that??

"When it's Raining Cats and Dogs" not a big fan of this one.

"I'd Die Without You". I used to hate this song when I was little when it used to come on the radio. I was still in elementry school at the time. I hated all the R & B songs cuz I had to sit through them to get to some hip hop songs, and this was one of them. I had no clue it was P.M. Dawn until I bought this album. I guess I like it now proably cuz I recognize it. heh.

All in all, it's nearly as good as the first album. I still like the first a smidget better, but not by much. This album KILLS 99 percent of all albums out there.

this cd really makes me think that we are lucky that we have the instroments we have now.cuze on this cd you can tell the difference.i love blink-182 new and old!if you like blink-182 then i recomend angels & airwaves and plusfourtyfour.best of luck to them.blink-182...R.I.P. :(

Not good........2007-03-04

The swear words aren't the bad part. Its the music and especially the vocals. Blink 182 was a new punk band though. They just had no experience. Well, look at 'em now! Awesome! Why did they have to break up? I reccommend any Green Day, Weezer, BoDeans, and any other blink except maybe ":cheshire cat" and "Flyswatter"

Their early stuff. Not that good........2006-12-29

Blink 182 is by all means a great band, but their early work such as Buddha, isn't that great. It seems more like random themed songs without any passion than the hard rocking tunes they have made in albums like Enema of the State.

awesome.......2006-12-18

Before I get into the review, I've got something to say. To the second guy below me: This was made before cheshire cat and after flyswatter. Flyswatter and Buddha are two completely different things. Flyswatter had 8 songs, and was recorded on a tape deck. Then there were other demos and promos made between the two that not too many people can explain.

Now, to the review:

Is it the sex pistols? no. ramones? no. dead kennedys? no. But is it punk: Yes. Ever heard of the descendents? They rocked, and were possibly one of the most influential punk bands ever. If I had to compare this album to someone, it would be the descendents. While this album may, at some points, seem to venture into pop-punk, it's some of the best pop-punk yet.

Sure, the recording quality sucks, but that just adds to the awesome feel of this album. The band occassionaly messes up vocally and instrumentally, which makes the album feel very natural. Plus, blink had their own identity at this point, so they weren't exactly like every punk band out there. The songs move along at an awesome pace, with very little space between each track.

However, the album could have been a bit more agressive. It seemed like their singing was kinda held back at some points. Some songs could've gone faster, too. But, all in all, it's a good punk album.

???????????????????????????????????????????.......2006-06-24

This is HORRIBLE!!!
all their doing is talking and yelling to horrible music. I can't beleive my son likes this!Plus it curses!!!
How did I know it cursed? They should tell us these things!!!

Customer Reviews:

It doesn't get much better than this.......2006-12-06

In 2003, three years after Old Man's Child's last album and two years after Dimmu Borgir's latest, Galder returned with two new discs (the sixth C.D. from his side project, OMC's "In Defiance Of Existence," and Dimmu Borgir's "Death Cult Armageddon"). As on other Old Man's Child releases, Galder handled nearly every instrument on this album: second guitar, vocals, bass guitar, and synthesizers. But he is, unexpectedly, not the only one on here who really gets to show off his talents: Dimmu Borgir/Cradle Of Filth/Benediction alumni Nicholas Barker (who had been hired to pound the skins on this album), goes completely nuts, beating the stuffing out of his trapkit, and driving most of these rhythms with remarkable, fast, thumping blast beats.

Like all great melodic black metal, "In Defiance Of Existence" has several pretty, tranquil parts, but it's first and foremost brutal. The heavy parts feature Galder spewing his venomous, kind of snarly vocals over cold, opaque soundscapes of fiery guitars and ultra fast double kick drumming.

But this album also has a lot of great, very refined texture and variety because several of these songs subtly slip in a touch of moody keyboards and/or acoustic guitars. And OMC aren't like some dark metal bands who either make a song completely melodic or completely heavy (with no middle ground), because many of these tracks, like "Agony Of Fallen Grace" (which has a walloping, machine gun rhythm but also includes some spacey synths), are brutal and ambient at the same time.

The record's best song might be "Black Seeds On Virgin Soil." After a melodic intro, a surging, whiplash onslaught made up of a hurricane of guitar riffs and extremely busy double bass work bursts onto the scene. Similarly, "The Soul Receiver" begins with the sounds of a symphony, but then catapults into a heavily churning, pummeling rhythm. Track seven, "In Quest Of Enigmatic Dreams," is an interlude consisting of a very pretty string arrangement, but the album goes out with a bang: "The Underworld Domains" and "Life Deprived" are both scorchers, bursting with thrashy, scalding riffs and ultra-fast, skull-cracking blast beats.

It's a shame that Dimmu's "Death Cult Armageddon" and "In Defiance Of Existence" came out the same year because when someone releases an album from both of his projects, the side project will probably always be overshadowed by the main one. Thus this disc is sometimes overlooked due to DB's bigger, wider selling, and all around better release. But, regardless, OMC is as good as any melodic/symphonic black metal group on the market today, and "IDOE" is easily one of the genre's finest releases of the past several years.

Absolute Brilliance.......2006-06-24

In Defiance of Existence is truly a landmark black metal album. As a black metal fan of over ten years now, it is an album that absolutely stands out as one of the best I have ever heard. Galder is an absolute genius and the addition of Nicholas Barker on drums completes the potential of an concept that is completely realized if not surpassed. Every song is amazing. It does not get any better. I have always marveled at how Galder nearly alone can outdo the whole of Dimmu Borgir but that is just what he does. This album is the best that OMC has ever done and is completely amazing. An absolute triumph and an essential part of any black metal fan's collection.

maybe their best.......2006-04-08

This is one awsome cd. It might end up being my favorite OMC cd. Only time will tell if thats the case. Either way Galder delivers again. Nick barker ex Dimmu,ex Cradle is the new drummer and does a great job blasting the skins for OMC.
Felonies Of The Christian Art- 8.4 Fantastic opening song. Its a typical OMC song done well. I particularly enjoy the swirling soloing between 3:14 and 3:40. Although the rest of the song is just as good.
Agony Of Fallen Grace-10+ It gets a 10+ because it might be my favorite OMC song ever. Although it does have much competition. The guitar section between 1:20 and 1:37 is especially noteworthy. It encompasses such emotion and sorrow yet beauty and grace as well. Thank god it shows up again toward the end of the song although it could have probably been made into an entire song itself. Also the drums of Nick Barker bring this song to life with a fury I havent felt in earlier OMC cds.
Black Seeds On Virgin Soil-8.2 Not as good as the previous two but hardly a letdown. OMC just dont have any filler songs. Everything has its own place on the cd. This starts out with some acoustic guitar but than bust loose into black metal intensity. Good variety of guitar in this song.
In Defiance Of Existence- 8.7 It opens with guitars and drums that evoke images of splashing waves on rocky norwegian fjords. Than Nick kicks a$$ with some double bass. Overall many fine riffs, melodies and blastbeats.
Sacrifice Of Vengeance- 9 Dont let the tranquill accoustic opening fool you. This is OMc not John Denver. 20 seconds in the riffs begin with a vengence. Nicks Drums are so good you can almost feel his sticks stinging your flesh. Thats a small sacrifice to pay to have the hellish pleasure of hearing this viking vengence. At 3:27 to 3:50 there is a magnificant seering, squawking sounding solo that blows my mind away.
The Soul Receiver 10 Awsome. Reminds me of old Dimmu. This experiance is all about the melody and the melody is good. This is a fitting anthem to the raping, pilaging reapers that once were the terrors of northern europe. Hail the vikings!
In Quest Of Enigmatic Dreams-7.5 Even the vikings needed some tranquility I guess. Pretty acoustic interlude.
The Underworld Domains-9 If in quest of enigmatic dreams was tranquil than this is a nightmare. Maybe the hardest song here or maybe not. Either way this is the underworld so what do you expect.
Life Deprived-9.5 The drums are so cool on this one combined with the buzzsaw riffs and some well placed solos. I get this mechanical impression with this one. Very hard song. A violent end yes, but what do you expect with a title like In defiance of Existance.

now this album rocks!!.......2006-03-06

muuuch better than Vermin...alot better... thats all i have to say on that subject. there was so much intensity and originality in this album you wouldnt have thought that galder was in Dimmu...unlike Vermin... barker is a great drummer yes, but stands nowhere neer the god himself...Hellhammer... i recommend this album to any melodic bm fan as well as any metal fan in general

KICK ASS.......2005-08-18

PURELY AN AMAZING BLACK METAL CD. MY FAVORITE SONGS ARE"BLACK SEEDS ON VIRGIN SOIL" "SACRIFICE OF VENGENCE" "THE SOUL DECEIVER" AND "FELONIES OF THE CHRISTAIN ART." ITS GREAT.

Customer Reviews:

WOW.......2006-08-23

This is a bit of a departure from Chuck's Death days with the tempo changes and all out thrash. The tempo changes are there of course, but the balls to wall Death is missing. This can be seen as a good thing. Fans of Death will find much to appreciate on this album (just look at who is on this 'Supergroup' album ! Digiorgio and Christy. Absolute monsters!
This album is much more in the vein of power or prog metal than death metal and the tempos can be slightly slower than before, but some of Chuck's best compositions are found here. 'Expect The Unexpected' is a definite masterpiece worthy of Chuck. Tim Aymar's voice is a nice change, sounding at times like Bruce Dickinson, though he cannot hit nearly the same high notes. This album will be an improvement for Death fans who detest Chuck's voice (though I think it's not half-bad...would you rather have Chris Barnes? or the guy from Obituary? I think not!) In summation, pick this album up is you are a Death fan, techinical metal fan, or have ever heard DiGiorgio. He really shines on this album. Hopefully Chuck's mom's lawsuit will free up the release of the second album, which the other members support. Enjoy!

If your a fan of Death..........2006-07-31

Im a huge fan of the band Death, Control Denied is the singers side project. I really enjoyed it, its more melodic than Death, but good nonetheless. So if your a fan of Death, you might want to check this out. I recommend it.

Basically a collection of riffs from ex-Death members.......2005-07-13

When you start listening to this album, it has a lot of promise in the beginning then it goes...where does it go? Since the album has a lot of ex-Death members in it, you'd expect it to sound a little bit like a Death album, which it does, but the main problem with this album is "connection".

This album is basically a collection of really cool riffs that somehow were not worked into song format very well. For example, in the song "Expect the Unexpected" it starts out with a cool intro and then a great verse which right as you're getting into BOOM, they change to another riffs. As you're finally getting into the chorus yet AGAIN, another change-up. These guys must have forgot that part of the art of music is finding a cool riff (which they have done well) and knowing how long you can use it for (another important detail) before it becomes old.

All the instruments are cool, especially the guitars and bass (DiGiorgio is THE MAN when it comes to bass). The vocals are incredibly annoyning in that kind of old-school Power Metal variety. They actually found someone worse than Chuck to replace Chuck -Wow, that just makes a ton of sense guys. Because of the cryptic/weird nature of the lyrics I'm going to assume Schuldiner wrote the lyrics.

Still worth checking out especially if you can find this one the cheap. Rather ironic title for the album too, huh?

(Goes without saying: R.I.P. Chuck)

"Individual thoughts that have come missing...".......2005-02-08

The Fragile Art of Existence is renowned Death guitarist/singer Chuck Shuldiner's swan song to his fans before he lost his two-year battle against cancer in the end of 2001. Interestingly, Chuck was in the process of composing/recording his follow-up to this album, but unfortunately nothing has come of it. Control Denied was his side project which he had put together in order to concentrate more on his guitar playing and unique songwriting. Chuck does not do his trademarked death vocals on this one. Enter Tim Aymar (Psycho Scream, Pharaoh) with traditional Heavy Metal-like vocals that are often compared to the likes of Rob Halford, Warrel Dane and Bruce Dickinson. While I don't hear the Dickinson influence, I tend to agree with the Halford/Dane comparisons to an extent, as Tim Aymar belts out some scary high screams like Halford and possesses a similar delivery to Dane. You need to check out his band Pharaoh if you want to hear more of that. This album was originally intended to have Nevermore singer Warrel Dane on vocals, but things didn't work out and Tim Aymar got the gig. I love Warrel Dane's vocals to no end, but Tim Aymar really gives this album its final touch as a killer frontman.

Shannon Hamm shares the guitar duties with Chuck, often playing cutting thrash-based riffs that sharply contrast Chuck's ethereal and textural playing which often spiral into crushing metal riffage during the solos and mid-sections of the tunes. Both guitarists interlock thrashy riffs alongside some curious tremelo picking and even add some plucked acoustic guitars ("When the Link Becomes Missing") which are later embraced by a forceful, melodic metal drive. The solo in this song is possibly my favourite on the album together with Chuck's textural playing in the closing track. It's a solo that builds up very slowly and becomes this intense, passionate expression towards the end -- it simply sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it. Steve DiGiorgio and Richard Christy continue to be an unmatchable duo in thrash/death metal driven music as DiGiorgio plays fat bass figures as well as interesting funky melodies, as in the intro of "What If ...?", and works his bass as an independent instrument throughout the whole album. Richard Christy is a great fit for this type of music, though I feel his snare sound gets a little muffled in some parts because of the mix, but he proves to be the perfect drummer for Control Denied in the way he exhibits powerful synchopated rhythms and technically impossible drum fills.

What makes The Fragile Art of Existence so great, in my opinion, is that it consists of only eight tracks and has a total running time of 50 minutes. There are no fillers here; each song is compositionally-strong, graced by brilliant musicianship and a fitting production (by Chuck and Jim Morris). The progressive side explored on Death's last album, The Sound of Perseverance, is even more boldly carried over to this album, particularly in the multi-textured "Expect the Unexpected", which not only has a great vocal melody, but also features various harmony changes. The centrepieces of the album, "What If ....?" and "When the Link Becomes Missing" are both thrash-rooted progressive songs in the way that allow Chuck to play textural guitars that fiercely contrast the otherwise heavy music, mainly driven by Hamm and DiGiorgio. This is further explored in the almost 10-minute epic, "The Fragile Art of Existence", which is Chuck's testament to stylistic cohesion and passionate songwriting. Three minutes into the song, Aymar coldly utters the words "NO TIME FOR SELF-PITY" and the textured guitar riffs are suddenly replaced by tasty guitar shred before giving way to the initial atmospheric guitar themes.

Chuck's lyrics on this one are perhaps his most introspective and personal lyrics (hence he chose a different project that would separate his musical vision from Death) and Travis Smith comes up with a very fitting artwork. The album is mixed, engineered and mastered by Jim Morris and co-produced by Chuck himself. If you're a metal fan, be it thrash, heavy or prog, and don't own this, then your collection is incomplete.

Pieces don't quite fit, but still quite good. 7/10.......2005-01-08

I have to admit, this album is a bit disappointing, but it was pretty much bound to be, from my perspective. For all intents and purposes, 'The Fragile Art of Existence' is the follow up to 'Sound of Perseverance', which is THE GREATEST METAL ALBUM EVER, which naturally makes it a tough act to follow. It's especially sad that Chuck died before getting to finish any other Control Denied work, since this was an experiment, and he likely would've gotten better with the Control Denied material given more time. But, this is all we've got, and it is a good album, even if it isn't up to Chuck's high standards.

For 'The Fragile Art of Existence' Chuck Schuldiner assembled what is arguably the greatest metal lineup ever. Schuldiner is my favorite lead guitarist and perhaps my favorite rhythm guitarist as well, and Shannon Hamm is not far behind. Steve DiGiorgio is probably my favorite bassist other than Sean Malone, and Richard Christy is definitely one of the very best metal drummers ever. Of course, each of the last 4 Death albums were filled by amazing musicians, so this is to be expected. However, they don't give their best performances. Schuldiner's leads aren't as good as most of his latter era work, and Hamm's are not as good as he was on the previous album. They're generally a bit too formless, not as melodic and grounded as the SoP work. Still, they're very good from an absolute perspective. Christy's drums are quite a bit more restrained than usual. I guess this fits the material better, but the drumwork is still less interesting in and of itself. DiGiorgio is as good as ever, however, and is given a particularly prominent role. Tim Aymar is the only new guy, and he does a good job. He's a fairly standard classic metal singer-screecher, and while he's not particularly distinctive, he's more than capable.

So, we have a great lineup here, headed by the best metal songwriter ever,but only a 4 star album. It's got some basic tonal problems which really hurt the album. The problem is, Chuck sacrificed some of Death's strengths while not gaining much in return. Though this is a very, very complex album with tons of riffs and tempo changes and whatnot, it's quite a bit more controlled and restrained sounding than your average Death album, lacking either the unrelenting speed of Human or the 80's albums, or the unhinged wildness of 'Sound of Perseverance'. The production is less intense as well, with a lighter guitar tone and less intense drum sounds. All this was done, presumably, to fit in with the clean, melodic vocals. However, the album still doesn't play to the strengths of power/classic metal. It's a very, very solemn affair, never achieving the sort of epic feeling or grandiosity of good power metal, and isn't really anymore melodic than Death's later material.(Which was plenty melodic for tech-death-thrash, but insufficient for tech-power-thrash like this) Aymar is largely quite restrained, an operatic vocalist chained by a serious, straight laced tone. So, this all comes together to say that the album as a whole is fairly lacking in visceral intensity or emotional resonance. It's both technically impressive and intriguing, but it generally doesn't have enough punch or heart. Chuck tried to combine his style with classic metal and came to a compromise that wasn't really satisfactory for either side. That, and the riffs, solos and choruses and all that stuff just aren't as good as they usually are in Death's work. though their relative weakness is doubtless related to the basic stylistic problem of the album.

I know I'm attacking this album a lot, but that's mainly because it's problems are so very clear. It's still a good album, with 2 flat-out great songs, and the rest are certainly nowhere near bad.(though they aren't terribly close to great either.) 'Consumed' is the opener. It's a brilliant song, perfectly constructed, and with more emotional resonance than any other track on the album. The main verse riff and chorus are both great, immediately memorable and really quite sad sounding. The intro and middle break are quite sweet too, and the song has some of the best leadwork on the album. 'Breaking the Broken' is the second track, as well as the second best track. Best chorus on the album, with some fine shrieking from Aymar. It's the only chorus on the album that achieves that sort of grandiosity befitting a vocalist of his nature. Furthermore, it's got some of the very best basswork on the album. Another great song. However, I don't have all that much to say about the rest of the album. There are plenty of interesting riffs, and good leads, but damned if anything on the rest of the album really reaches out and grabs you. 'Cut Down' kinda does, with it's rather angry chorus, as do parts of 'Believe' but that's about it. It's interesting music, but on an almost entirely intellectual level. Not enough melody to be that memorable, and not heavy or punchy enough to rock at optimum efficiency.

All that said, I definitely recommend this to any fans of latter-era Death, provided they aren't wholeheartedly opposed to classic metal singing. It's nowhere near the best thing Chuck did, but it's interesting as a whole, and has some truly brilliant moments.

On an initial listen to Pass out of Existence, Chimaira sometimes bear the hallmarks of being little more than a copycat band following along in the scorched-earth wake of the mighty Slipknot. Still, there's much evidence that Chimaira have arrived at this point as much through innovation as imitation. The six-man metal crew's debut is built around a bludgeoning old-school thrash-metal dynamic, jackhammer drumming, primal-scream lyrics, and brutally applied electronic loops. "Dead Inside" marries its powerhouse chorus to spacious, Tool-like passages and bursts of industrial wizardry, while the sinister "Abeo" proves that for all Chimaira's passion for extreme metal, they're far more than one-trick ponies. Slipknot fans will find much to enjoy here, notably the supertight, percussion-heavy "Painting the White to Grey" and the epic, tortured 12-minute closer, "Jade." --Louis Pattison

Awesome album.......2007-05-28

This CD Rocks! If you like any of Chimaira's other albums, you will sove this one too. Very hard, makes you wanna punch your best friend in the face.

A good starting point..........2007-02-02

Okay, so their debut may not be the masterclass that their sophomore and third albums are hailed to be by fans but it still serves up some brutal tracks that will please any fan of the band. The first song I ever heard by this band was the impressive `Dead Inside' with creepy sound effects and infectious guitar and drum work. I was instantly intrigued, but it wasn't until listening to the entire album that I can say I was hooked. The best tracks here are the aforementioned, the brutally melodic `Painting the White to Grey', `Lumps', `Taste My...' and the borderline disturbing closer `Jade'. As a whole this album may run a little long and may contain some filler tracks but it's a good glimpse at what the band is capable of and it still fits nice in any music collection. Chimaira has done what every good band should, take what they've started with and grown, matured, into a better and stronger band!

Nu Metal that brings nothing new to the table.......2007-01-24

Chimaria is a horrid band. These guys brings nothing to the table that hasnt been done about 100x before. First off, every song has a couple easy power cords that a 10yr old could play, and the drumming is weak. This band sounds like a replica of Korn, which gives them 2 strikes to begin with (Ok ,Korn had one good album, but thats it) and I dont hear any resemblance to Slipknot (as some reviewers had posted). Even though I really dont listen to Slipknot, they have more talent then this bunch of losers. If you want Good Metal, avoid this. If you are looking for a run of the mill, NU Metal band that sounds like something you have heard a million times before, then this is for you.

Good but not great..........2006-10-03

Let's get 1 thing straight...Chimaira is awesome! All their albums are worth jamming to, yet this album has it's ups and downs! When I first listened to this back in late 2001 I knew this band could do better so I never gave up hope for Chimaira! Later on they released " The Impossibility of Reason ", which is a killer album! It's still the best one to this day. The Self Titled EP stands out too...but something just wasn't the same, and it was the drums! During that time I didn't know Andols herrick left the group and brought in a former Dying Fetus drummer! It wasn't a grave dissapointment just different! Then again this is my opinion. You definately get your money's woth buying this but IOR is much better, " Lumps" " Severed" " Pass Out of Existance " " Painting the White to Grey " are to me the main tracks that stand out! Also, one of the guitarists on this album ( Jason Hager ) is not with Chimaira no more...go check out his new group " Years Of Fire ".

DECENT , but a bit repetitive .......2006-05-02

I liked few songs: Severed, Forced LIfe, Dead Inside, And PAss out of existence.
Howevere, overall album lacks variety and has a lot of boring guitar riffs and dull musicanship.
Just listen to their later work: Self titled Chimaira.
It is much more interesting!
This one is ok, still has some brutal stuff!
