Have a Nice Life is an experimental rock band from Connecticut. Consisting of Dan Barrett and Tim Macuga, the band is known for their unique style mixing elements of shoegaze, Post-Punk, Post-Rock, and drone, as well as the bleak, funereal atmosphere of their music. The band was founded in 2000, but didn't release their first record until 2008, when they came out with the double album Deathconsciousness. Though it was released to little attention at first, the album gradually picked up a devoted cult following on the internet. After this they went into another period of hiatus, releasing a couple collections of demos as well as an EP called Time of Land. In 2014 they released their second full length album, The Unnatural World, to widespread praise. Discography: Deathconsciousness (2008) Voids (2010, demo) Time of Land (2010, EP) Live at the Stone NYC (2010) Voids II (2014, demo) The Unnatural World (2014) Sea of Worry (2019) | |

| Have a Nice Life (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: While still genre roulette, Sea of Worry experiments much more with genre and some tracks even have a Lighter and Softer sound to them than the first two albums. Sea of Worry also marks the first time a Have a Nice Life album hasn't come with a booklet full of Nightmare Fuel, instead opting for a simple gatefold with the lyrics. | |

Walking the Earth | |
| Have a Nice Life (Music) / int_29292e6d | comment |
Walking the Earth: After being ejected from Rome following an affair with a wealthy noblewoman that ended with the woman's suicide, the prophet Antiochus spent 27 years travelling across Europe and Central Asia on foot before returning to Rome a full fledged prophet. What happened in that time period is left mysterious, but is implied to be horrifying. See Humanoid Abomination for details. When asked what happened during this period, he reportedly said "Simply life, and that was enough." | |

Concept Album | |
| Have a Nice Life (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: Deathconsciousness is a loose one, based around The Books of Terror and Longing, the religious texts of a medieval cult called the Antiocheans who were persecuted by the Catholic Church for their heretical beliefs, which included denying the existence of heaven and possibly of God as well. There's almost no evidence outside of the album booklet that this cult or the Books of Terror and Longing ever really existed, so the whole thing can be read as an elaborate work of metafiction. The Unnatural World has a similar booklet, centered around spiritualism. | |

Anti-Love Song: "Deep, Deep" is effectively about the guilt wrapped up in love and sex and how our procreative urge is at odds with our species' self-destructive nature. Funnily enough, "I Don't Love" is less about this and more about a Despair Event Horizon. | |

Humanoid Abomination: There are several hints that Antiochus may have been one of these, including a legend from his time in the mountains of Dagestan in which he appears as a wandering sorcerer who takes residence in a village of the Avar people, acting as a fortune teller for them. However, when a man from the village offends him by spying on him as a crow whispers secrets to him, he disappears into his tent and emerges five days later as a monstrous being covered in raven feathers, who prophesies the complete destruction of the village before disappearing into the wilderness. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Have a Nice Life (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Holy Fucking Shit: 40,000", a reference to Warhammer 40,000. It also contains a reference to The Terminator as part of its metaphor of human beings essentially being machines. Voids has a song called "I'm Doctor House". "Dan and Tim, Reunited by Fate" is a reference to the Capcom fighting game Rival Schools: Reunited by Fate. | |

Messianic Archetype | |
| Have a Nice Life (Music) / int_c98b7916 | comment |
Messianic Archetype: The prophet Antiochus, as described in the album booklet, is an atypically grim example. His life story, which includes a lengthy period of wandering the world in his youth which is not detailed by the text, as well as a martyr's death at the hands of the religious authorities in Rome, greatly resembles the life and death of Jesus, which the author notes was most likely intentional. | |

A Million Is a Statistic: Referenced in the preface to the Deathconsciousness booklet, in which the album title is defined as essentially an awareness of this trope. | |

In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves | |
| Have a Nice Life (Music) / int_e06d3a98 | comment |
In Your Nature to Destroy Yourselves: A major theme of their music, with "Waiting for Black Metal Records to Come in the Mail" and "Deep, Deep" containing some particularly notable examples; the former largely being about how our species' greed has resulted in us effectively turning the planet into a giant billboard, and the latter juxtaposing our procreative urge with our destruction of the planet and each other. | |

Death Seeker | |
| Have a Nice Life (Music) / int_fff371b4 | comment |
Death Seeker: The Antiochean cult was based around a complex and somewhat ambiguous form of this; rather than wishing for death, they wished for release from an existence that could only end in death. The golems in "Earthmover" play it straight. | |
