C'EST MORTEL

C'est Mortel biography
C'est Mortel is basically a side-project by Tom Naumann and Mason Brown from the Athens, Georgia, band, Jet by Day. The band was formed in 2000 and the idea behind this project was too play something different from what they were previously doing and that's exactly what they achieved with C'est Mortel. Naumann and Brown recruited several musicians from the Athens area like Devin Brown, Brett Griffin, and David Specht to play on this new side-project. The band's music is a combination of the heaviness from Progressive Metal, the delicateness of Post-Rock and the epics from Progressive Rock. C'est Mortel's songwriting is very similar to that of Progressive Rock artists, they mostly (if not only) write epics ranging over the 30-40 minute mark and feature a lot of changes in themes and dynamics. They released their debut in 2002 and it was well received by the media. C'est Mortel is currently inactive since Naumann and Brown are focusing more on their main band, Jet By Day.

C'est Mortel is a tough band to pin down. They mix effortlessly Prog Metal, Post-Rock and Prog Rock without sounding patchy. They're one of the few Post-Rock bands that have admittedly been influenced by Progressive Rock. Highly recommended for Prog Rock fans looking for something new while still staying true to their roots and for fans of Post-Rock looking for a bit more complexity in their music.
