Look_At_Death_Now/13080/
A solid and heavy album that is full of attitude, this features crunchy guitars and gritty vocals and should still please old fans of the Jet Circus but will also appeal to people not familiar with the pioneering group. Another great aspect of this album is the positivity it breeds within the listener; the songs are wonderfully cheerful and are destined to raise your spirits, if not a broad grin across your face!

"Look At Death Now" is chock full of metallic excellence, from the powerhouse-foursome of head-banging openers (“One Dime Scape Goat,†“Man Rules,†“Godless Happiness†and the title track) to the beautiful fullness of string-enhanced ballads (“The Way You Bless Me†and “Fears of Tomorrowâ€). Gomer’s deep-to-wailing vocals are brilliant and engaging throughout.
High-octane. Smokin’. Brain-and-bone-jarring. Electric. Yeeeaaaahhhh!

This CD, the latest release from Jet Circus, has that little something extra that takes it to a whole new level of musical quality. The CD grabs you attention from the hard rocking track one, "One Dime Scape Goat," with its wailing guitars and forceful vocals and doesn't let go of you...This CD is one musical thrill ride that you don't want to miss out on!

Been a long time since Step On It was released in 1991. Ez Gomer took his time releasing a second project, but it was worth the wait. This April, 2005 indie release offers a dangerously raunchy fusion of bass-heavy motorcycle rock, metal, and blues. Hearing it for the first time is like an after-the-rain fresh breeze wafting through a biker rally on a hot day..

Bass guitarist extraordinaire Ez Gomer got his start in the late-eighties when he joined the Swedish melodic metal band Leviticus in time to perform on its third and finest release Setting Fire To The Earth. During his tenure in Leviticus, Ez struck up a friendship with the bands lead vocalist Terry H., a partnership which in time led to the creation of an energetic new group called Jet Circus.....
..I might describe Look At Death Now is a heavier musical continuation of Step On It in that it combines a crunchy hard rocking rhythm guitar sound and a rumbling bass heavy low end with Jet Circus' trademark groove-laden vibe. Ez, as one would expect, does an excellent job furnishing the albums heavy duty, prodigious, massive, resounding and all encompassing bass lines. And he proves no slouch on lead vocals either, contributing a warm though slightly gritty mid-octave ranged vocal style... Look At Death Now proves a consistent hard rocking effort in that all nine of its compositions hold up under repeated play, the albums standout tracks being its faster and more upbeat ones such as "One Dime Scape Goat", "Man Rules", "Godless Happiness", "Shooting Star" and "Skull Of The Poet". Ez's impeccable work on bass guitar effectively complements the flashy riffing of talented newcomer Sayit. A top notch production job only adds to the albums appeal. All in all, it is great to hear Jet Circus again!

If you are expecting 'Step On It' part 2, I'll save you the trouble. This is not it. 'Look at Death Now' is a more hard rockin' recording with straight ahead rock hooks and thought provoking lyrics...
More of the 80's-90's metal bands looking to please old and new fans alike should give this CD a spin to see how it's done. Pick this one up today. I've not been able to quite put this one down yet as it's been making it's way back into my CD player.

USA - NO LIFE TIL METAL
http://www.nolifetilmetal.com/jetcircus.html
This is a fun, solid and hard rockin' CD. The music on this disc is surprisingly heavi and is a combination of crunchy guitar riffs, funky, gritty bass lines, a bit of groove and a ton of attitude. Ez Goméz also rips out some excellent leads, which is something sorely missed in some modern music.

http://thewhippingpost.tripod.com/jetcircuslookatdeathnow/
This is just a solid, heavy, full of attitude, rockin' fun album to listen to. Crunchy/fuzzy guitars, monster grooves, crazy leads, soaring solos, gritty vocals, blood curdling screams, and lots of headbanging. I must say that I have enjoyed this albumquite a bit, and I dare say that this will please old fans of the band, but also will appeal to people that couldn't stand Jet Circus in the past.

This is a fun solid rocking release with attitude and monster grooves. The guitars are loud sounding and with some very sophisticated crunchy riffs. A different disc to be proud about and a fresh affair for you to breath. I say it again it got the raw “attitudes†of some dirty rock scene somewhere in the States. This is headbanging cool hard rock with some metal and with a nice production and some crazy musicians that knows how to have fun on stage or in the studio.

CD OF THE MONTH - JET CIRCUS, Look At Death Now.
They released their debut album in 1989. This remarkable hard rock effort got attention from all around the world. High were the expectations for the follow-up..Now Jet Circus returns with a production of Ez Gomér alone. Still he manages to make remarkable music.

You can write a proper album review of this album by just listening to the first couple of moderations. The intro of the first track with its profound drums with razor sharp guitar riffs and slightly shrill vocals characterize this album from beginning till the end. There are no real surprises on “Look At Death Nowâ€, the only remarkable thing is the cheerful vibes on “Look At Death Nowâ€

Both high and low, crying or clean, it sounds all just as pure and vigorously. This unusual mix really stocks as a bomb! It batters, it rams, it booms the pans of the roof. Or such as them in Germany say: ash ist dreckig und ash rockt! Pleasant album of an interesting band. Don't forget, boys and girls, Jet Circus is the name...

..also two ballads that makes the enamel of your teeth fall off. One of that has even gotten the pure horrortitel 'The Way You Bless Me'. Only also here must be admitted, that how horrible kitschy the number is, how well d*mn good isn't it on the other hand. Kansas' 'Carry on Wayward Son' is a reference that comes to mind as it goes round the combination of respect to content and musical ingenuity.

Netherlands - LORDS OF METAL
http://www.lordsofmetal.nl/showreview.php?id=5810
..His compositions are remarkable close to the Motley Crue's heavier work; crunchy riffs, cool hooks and a thundering rhythm section...Jet Circus is not better nor worse than a band like Velvet Revolver, but the rough throat of Ez Gomér has a lot more power than that of the junkie in VR or Vince Neil.

After years he made a new Jet Circus CD possible. Experimenting is gone, the belief not. What remains, a CD full of pleasant sleazerock is where Mr Gomér has it audiblely to his sense. I therefore also.

Italy - HOLY ROCK
http://www.holyrock.net/recensioni/jetcircus.html
“Look At Death Nowâ€is a true actual summary of pure and healthy Rock' n' Roll in the classic tradition, with influences from classic bands like Hanoy Rocks or Guns' N' Roses and Motorhead. Besides Ez Gomer, succeeded to involve the Swedish Radio Symphonic Orchestra to carve out the ballad “Fears Of Tomorrow†- A piece that closes a full work of energy .. an album that is to be appreciated also for the large dose of fun that exudes from the CD.

Italy - METAL ZONE
http://www.metal-zone.it/recensioni/jetcircus.htm
In this Work "Look At Death Now!" Gomér is shown a large capable singer that can switch with naturalness between more heavy pieces like "Godless Happiness" or "Shooting Star" to furious funky songs like the title track, to marvellous ballads like "The Way You Bless Me" and "Fears Of Tomorrow", sung always with flavor and class. ..A really great and very pleasant disk of easy listening with songs that you will find to sing yourselves.

Reviews of KINGS OF HOLLYWOOD and KILLER GRIN - Ez Gomér contributions on Liberty 'n Justice album Soundtrack Of A Soul
Hardrock Heaven - USA
"After a brief silence the heavy hitting "Kings of Hollywood" brings the music to your ears. Ez Gomer vocals give a subtle hint to Michael Sweet of Stryper, although his delivery is much more "metal." The guitars are pushing the limits of overdriven chaos."
CLASSIC CHRISTIAN ROCK AND METAL - USA
"KINGS OF HOLLYWOOD - This song comes on with a full frontal attack of rock and roll and features some nice lead guitar."
Rock Eyez - USA
"The CD opens with a narration by Jack Black and rocks into "King of Hollywood" with vocals by Ez Gomer of JET CIRCUS. I am new to Ez Gomer but I became a fan once I heard this track. I love the projects by LNJ because you do not only get to hear some new vibes you also get to enjoy a higher power of music through the vocalist. "Kings of Hollywood" is excellent and Gomer's vocals are killer."
Shipwreck Island Studios - USA
"Kings Of Hollywood - Leading off the latest Liberty n' Justice album, Ez Gomer of Jet Circus. Straight forward rocker, Ez's vocals have that hint of Billy Idol which makes his performance on this track brilliant."
Tollbooth - USA
"The disc starts off with one of its best tracks, The Ez Gomer led "Kings of Hollywood." It has strong vocals, and a great pulsing, driving groove that pushes the song along with strength. Other strong rockers include "Grenade" and "Killer Grin.""
Melodic Rock - Australia
"The aggressive opening modern rocker Kings Of Hollywood, with its semi-industrial vibe, has a thumping rhythm section and guitar riff, plus a forceful lead vocal from Ez Gomer of Jet Circus."
Rock Is Life - USA
"Ez Gomer (Jet Circus) kicks things off with the guitar and effects heavy track "Kings of Hollywood." Gomer's vocals are reminiscent of fellow Christian rocker Michael Sweet's (Stryper) but his delivery is much more metal."
Musikk Avisen - Norway
"Av personlige favoritter kan jeg nevne "Kings Of Hollywood", "Another Nail", "Flinch" og "If The World Could Be Mine"."
The Refinery Rock Radio - USA
"Track 2 is called "Kings of Hollywood" featuring Ez Gomer of Jet Circus.
This is a great rocker, and yes, it features the signature rumbling bass that makes Jet Circus so distinct."
Bad Attitude Heavy Metal Internet Radio - USA
"Kings of Hollywood (Ez Gomer of Jet Circus) - This track is a nice opener solid, boisterous vocals, catchy and not to preachy. It is the right mix with excellent drum work to serve as a reminder of the genre. I also enjoyed the guitar-solo it was the right speed and definitely of a superb quality, nothing beats a glam solo."
Blogcritics - USA
"The Good ... Ez Gomer (Jet Circus) kicks things off with the guitar and effects heavy track "Kings of Hollywood." Gomer's vocals are reminiscent of fellow Christian rocker Michael Sweet's (Stryper)."
Bridefan - USA
"It then kicks off with the track 'Kings of Hollywood' featuring the vocals of Ez Gomer (Jet Circus). If you think this sounds like something off the latest Jet Circus CD, then you might be correct. Ez co-wrote this song so there is some of that 'Look at Death Now' feel to it."
Christian Extreme - USA
""Kings Of Hollywood" is a high energy rocker with some great power chords and a great groove with vocals handled by Ez Gomer of Jet Circus."
Metal Storm - Estonia
"Just have a look on the line-up and singers, this is just incredible and well you won't be really surprised if I say that the result is really good ... The music of the release is a cool Hard Rock that doesn't smell the old rotten cheese, at the opposite the 18 songs are varied with beautiful ballads like "Up That Hill" or powerful Hard Rock songs like "Kings of Hollywood"."
Enlace Musical - Spain
"Free translation:
Among the improvements one more care is found vocal execution of the at times eroded "fantastic" of passed decades. Such it is the case of the rapid musical opening with Ez Gomér of Jet Circus in "King you Hollywood" that is compared then by you Give him and Troy Thompson of Bride, who they contribute a powerful detonation -- literally -- in "Granade", al the same as Sebastián Bach (Skid Row) in "Another Nail".
Orig Spanish:
Entre las mejoras se encuentra una más cuidada ejecución vocal de los a veces desgastados "monstruos" de décadas pasadas. Tal es el caso de la acelerada apertura musical con Ez Gomér de Jet Circus en "King os Hollywood" que es equiparada luego por Dale y Troy Thompson de Bride, quienes aportan una poderosa detonación -- literalmente -- en "Granade", al igual que Sebastián Bach (Skid Row) en "Another Nail"."
Angelic Warlord - USA
http://angelicwarlord.com/reviews/l/libertynjustice06.html
When considering the albums better tracks one of the first that comes to mind is "Kings Of Hollywood", a groove-laden hard rocker combining a catchy hook in its chorus with a rumbling bass heavy low end. Ez Gomer (Jet Circus) perfectly complements the environment with his gritty, mid-octave ranged vocal style. As a matter of fact, this one would sound right at home on the most recent Jet Circus effort "Look At Death Now".

The song with Ez Gomér (KINGS OF HOLYWOOD) from jet circus is a great opener with a very 80's chunky guitar sound. Hightlights are also, Sebastian Bach shreddin' vocally.
