L.A.-based hard rock group Heaven Below crashed New York City's Santos Party House on Wednesday, October 6, 2010, rattling the rafters with their special brand of naughty R 'n' R. With Patrick Kennison on vocals/guitar, Jesse Billson on guitar, John Younger on bass, and Chad Clark on drums, they kept the somewhat small, but excited crowd entertained with a few of the tracks from their self-titled release, which hit the shelves on August 17, 2010: "Dying Vicariously," "When Daylight Dies," and "King of Nothing" were the songs they filled the dark club with. The kicker was their closing, a high-voltage version of Pat Benetar's "Heartbreaker," done with unbridled, balls-to-the-wall ferocity. Kennison's vocals are searing and rough as sandpaper. Billson and Younger seemed as if they might hurt themselves they played so hard. Together they are an incendiary force, an intense new rock band with a clean sound.
The group kicked off the first leg of its 2010 Horns and Halos Tour on September 18 in Dallas, TX, and will be ending in Toronto, Canada, on October 10. Kennison says of the tour: "We are proud to announce the first leg of our 2010 ‘Horns & Halos Tour’. This tour is in support of our new self titled release and will take us through many of our favorite cities in the US & Canada. The response to our single 'When Daylight Dies' over the airwaves has been phenomenal & inspiring. We can't wait to make new fans all over the nation." And proud they should be. With great energy and a raw, heavy metal sound, they're sure to gather an ever-growing "congregation" of fans.
