Will Haven is a noise metal band from Sacramento, California, USA.
In 1995, Will Haven, named after a fictional, self-created character, formed and released a six-track demo. The band was formed from members of Sock, a band that was formed with Shaun Lopez of Far. Will Haven's debut self-titled seven-track EP was released in 1996 to positive reviews. A year later the quartet was signed to Revelation. Singer Grady Avenell guested on two Far tracks - 9 Miles, and a cover of Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas Time? with Chino Moreno of Deftones.
1997 saw the release of full-length El Diablo bringing them an increasing amount of attention and a growing fanbase. In 1999, they released WHVN, arguably their heaviest album to date. The song Jaworski is named after Red Tape's frontman and friend Jeff Jaworski, who was Jeff Irwin's guitar tech at the time; and Slopez is named after Shaun Lopez, who was the guitarist for Far. During this time, the band recorded a track called The Regulator for the Bad Brains' Never Give In tribute album, and toured with Deftones throughout Europe.
when a world comes to this
for a one eyed god
put a headlock on death
with a book of love
choose your faith
take control
just for frills
rebel up
cure your heart
real eyes
and all we take, winds up in fire
when a corpse for rent
is giving your life hell
and the world is cut off
you're drivin back to l.a.
back to l.a.
we're back to the grave
choose your faith
take control
just for frills
could it be
that's what's wrong
realize
one eyed god in our world comes to life
pushing closer
every time that you think you're on your way
give it your all
opening more doors than a bomb
the candy man can
written out of all the history books
and hollywood
everything that eye saw, blows your mind
triumph over
time to head to vegas on a roll
over and over again
(give pints of blood)
now you will fly, and you will hope
