The Outcome of Misery: Cry Havoc
by
Amy Talaska
I know there are others out there that myself have been trying to patiently
wait for the return of good music. There seems to be a steady stream of
trash on a loop in abundance at our disposal everyday. Fortunately for me I
came across a CD that stands out above everything else! Cry Havoc is a band
that is on their way to the top and it wouldn’t surprise me to see them
surpass in success even the most talented artists that are touring today.
I’ve also had the opportunity to see these guys live and it was an
experience like nothing else. There is enough eye candy to catch your
attention for a lot longer than just one show. And even as they are starting
to climb to the top they haven’t lost themselves on the road to success
which is all too common. These guys will still spend time with their fans
after a show and show their thanks sincerely every time. Hanging out with
these guys doesn’t feel like just hanging out with another band at a rock
show; no matter who you are after talking with them for just a few minutes
you can’t help but to feel like they have been your good friends you’re
whole life and want to invite them to come party at your house.
To give you an idea of what they are like, imagine Rise Against with much
more energy and a million miles more entertaining to watch. Every time I
have had the privilege to watch Cry Havoc live I have never wanted their set
to end.
The Outcome of Misery will be a disk that continues to play for years for
all of those fans that already own the cd instead of some cd ,like the
majority out there, that you listen to a few times and remains hidden on a
shelf for years after. One of the many things that make this album stand out
above the rest is the mesmerizing sounds of the guitar. It’s not just a
steady stream of repetitious power chords; there is actually something of
talent and substance into everything played by all of the musicians. The
lead vocals alone are enough to make each song hold it’s own but the backup
vocals are something so soothing that the sound is something I could imagine
soothing me to sleep. One thing of warning about listening to this CD; after
playing it one time through you will experience an extreme feeling of
empowerment that is so strong that you might feel that you alone now can
attain world peace and can conquer any obstacle that comes in your way. So
be prepared to feel more energized after listening to this CD than you have
your whole life.
To check this band out live, they will be playing at Hogue Barmichaels in
Newport Beach Wednesday April 20th for the battle of the bands to be
featured on the warped tour. It’s a show that you will be glad you decided
to check out!
So go ahead, put in that same Killers CD you have had on a loop for the past
month now. Put on all of your old warn out cd’s that even you are sick of by
this point. While you are doing this though know that good music is right at
your fingertips. To experience this musical revolution yourself go to
www.cryhavocmusic.com and pick up your own copy of The Outcome of Misery.
You can also find these guys on myspace at www.myspace.com/cryhavocmusic.
Don’t worry; this won’t be another band that just takes up space on your
page. These guys actually write you back and will become your lifelong
friend!
