Aftershock Festival brought out a whole long list of great bands and one that I was truly looking forward to was Heaven’s Basement!!! We have been listening to them for a while and it was great seeing them at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards in May. I couldn’t wait to see them live since they truly just rock with their hit single, “Fire, Fire“. So when I saw them on the bill for Aftershock, I couldn’t wait to see them. Well they took over the Ernie Ball stage and truly delivered an arena style performance. These young guys know how to ROCK and had the crowd instantly pumped!

On Saturday they played the Ernie Ball stage and had everyone taking notice of this high energy alternative rock/metal band. We were so glad to catch their set and even more excited when we learned that on Sunday they would be playing the main stage since a couple bands could not make it to the show.

I love Metal with clean vocals and a lot of kick ass double bass. My prayers have been answered as I put on some Righteous Vendetta!

Singer Ryan Hayes told Noisecreep, “‘This Pain’ was a song that came to us as we witnessed people in our personal lives become victim to suicide. The song exists to speak to both young and old that no matter what pain you may be going through in life it can be overcome. Love is the key and it is all around us. The video was a visual representation of what we wanted ‘This Pain’ to be.” Check it out here: These guys truly know how to give us what we want with clean metal vocals, heavy double bass and shredding guitar work. They are set to release their full length album, The Fire Inside on October 8th and you can get your pre-order [Read More]
