Have A Nice Life 靈魂人物 Dan Barrett 用了四年的時間對自己憂鬱狀態的親密描述，名字取自 16 世紀一名被控使用巫術被迫認罪受酷刑制裁的一名英國農民，雖然是樂團狀態也經常會出現的死亡、超自然內容，但此張專輯卻更加的個人與黑暗，並跳脫樂團的工業狀態，用民謠的方式尋找更深層的絕望、在迷失狀態裡戰鬥以及邪教領袖的探討，雖然也是張可以帶來重生的作品，但心靈不夠強壯的人不建議使用。150 頁的文本與音樂共存，缺一不可。
Some time in the Spring of 2009, I tried to kill myself. Six months before that, I used a Voor Head Device for the first time. This line opens the 150-page book that accompanies Giles Corey, an intensely personal, intimate portrait of depression that took me almost four years to make.” —Dan Barrett Giles Corey haunting self-titled debut is back in print! The Flenser is pleased to offer a new version of this cult favorite as a double LP housed in a gatefold jacket, with the same 150-page book that accompanied the previous versions. Giles Corey is the gloomy folk-driven solo project from Have A Nice Life mastermind Dan Barrett. Here, Barrett forgoes the post-industrial trappings of Have A Nice Life in favor of an intimate singer-songwriter approach. While thematically related to his other work—dealing with subjects like suicide, death and the paranormal—Giles Corey feels more personal, with impressive shifts from quiet desperation to cathartic outburst. Over the years the album has gained a fervent following, and has sometimes been compared to a religious experience. It is dark yet purgative enterprise not for the frail of heart. The accompanying book is an integral part of the album. Its examinations of the life and times of cult leader Robert Voor parallel the themes within the lyrics and offer further immersion for the reflective listener. In Barrett own words: “The album follows a story arc of emotions that are detailed in the accompanying book, as much a part of this record as the music. The text switches between personal tales of struggles with depression, suicide, and a feeling of being lost, and the story of cult-leader and afterlife theorist Robert Voor. Voor writings on death and the afterlife feature prominently across Have A Nice Life Deathconsciousness, Nahvalr self-titled debut, and Giles Corey, making him the unifying factor behind most of the music Ive written in the last ten years. This record is as personal and raw as anything Ive ever done.”
