notes

Freedom of Existence's debut album, "Desensitize" was released February 29th 2004 via Optimism through Pessimism Records (OTP Records).

Freedom of Existence believes in music for what it is. They love to play and they love to create. They don't use autotuners on their album, or when they play live. They believe that music should stand for something, and definitely say something.

They comprehend that life is full of mistakes and perfection is futile. Yet, they deliver a perfection that is difficult to ascertain. "Desensitize" has done rather well, and deserves every bit of attention it receives.

"Freedom of Existence brings to life forgotten ritualistic music. Frontman, Jeremy Gratton, sings his poetic lyrics in an angry, almost gothic voice while pounding the strings of an acoustic guitar. Lead guitarist, Mike Tampa, plays distorted guitar riffs that leave little to be desired. He has won numerous guitar competitions and still somehow manages to find new and exciting ways to break the boundaries of technical/emotional guitar playing. It is difficult to find a rhythm section as gifted, versatile and dynamic as the likes of Drummer, Greg Foor and Bassist, Casey Kimes. Together, they create the band known as Freedom of Existence, and together they bring a new and refreshing originality. Freedom of Existence is exactly what we needed." - Amanda Horne | Embryonic Press.

    This album rocks! The songs and lyrics tend to stick in your head. It's the only CD thats been in my car stereo since I got it. Reminds me of Pink Floyd in their early years. Gotta love it!

    From track one I was sold. This album has everything from hard to heavy in the heart. The vocals moved me, the rythm swayed me, the beat kept me going. Since buying it I have listened to it at least every day, and still have yet to tire of it. I personally enjoy tracks 4 and 8 the most, but check them all out for youself!!

  • Raw, Powerful, and Unique!

    author: Lisa

    In summary, this album rocks!!!! As someone who has felt very discouraged with the music that has been generated as of late, I have to say that this album is very refreshing. It is artistic, creative, unique, and full of raw power!!!! Desensitize has renewed my faith in the true essence of music.
