French progressive rock band active during the 1970's. They originated in Nice, first as Deis Corpus (a Jethro Tull and King Crimson cover band), transmuting into Carpe Diem "Seize the day!" By 1973 they had an entirely self-penned repertoire, with a music that cross-bred many progressive rock influences, with jazz and classical touches, but it took a further two years to get a record contract, thanks to support from Jean-Pierre Massiera. Carpe Diem recorded two albums during their lifetime, and split-up in 1979.
