Heavier Than Heaven

This is the fourteenth studio album and the most powerful sounding record ever released by the band. Life, death, politics and war are recurrent themes of this album. The distinctiveness of the record is that each and every song was performed live and recorded in the same room and the lyrics of all the tracks go along with its melody! The album starter “Different Worlds” is a mixture of class, quality and perfection; an absolute stunner without doubt! “These Colors don’t Run” and “Brighter than a Thousand Suns” are songs with remarkable tempo changes and very thought provoking lyrics. Janick’s “The Pilgrim” reminds you of the maiden classic “Powerslave”, however it’s a super cool song with a wicked and fret melting solo. “The Longest Day” is the crunchy sounding track of the lot and has a fabulous bass-line! “Out of the Shadows” is an out-and-out killer composed by Bruce “Air Raid Siren” Dickinson! Dave’s “The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg” has uncovered his composing talents in a first-rate way, with ever haunting lyrics and ultra heavy riffs; this is one of the best songs f the record. The album finisher “The Legacy” leaves you dazed and flabbergasted. This is the most delightful song ever composed by the band and is the best sounding track of the record.

The record is a blend of musicmanship, adaptability, passion and spirit and is arguably one of the best heavy metal albums of the century!
