Heathen

I broke out Heathen's last album, "Recovered" today. Great platter - especially for a re-recording/covers album.

Anyone have this album? Thoughts?

Who here likes Heathen? Let's discuss this underrated thrash band from the Bay Area.

Oh ... and who is planning on picking up their new album? It's called "The Evolution of Chaos" and comes out January 25th, 2010. This is one of my most looked-forward to albums of next year to be sure!!!

I hope the upcoming project lives up to the bands capabilities

I'll be picking it up for sure

Can't wait for their new album. Will be immense
Love their cover of Queen's Death On Two Legs. Awesome as fuke!

Absolutely love Heathen and I (selfishly) wish they would stop pushng back the release of their new cd.
Victims of Deception (which Recovered has a lot of the demos from this album) is still probably one of my 'most spun' discs. They are definitely one of the most underappreciated thrash bands. Never understood why.Their two studio discs can stand with any two consecutive cds from any other band--IMO. (Along with Atrophy and the first two Xentrix albums--but that's a different thread).

I hope the new cd is what a lot of thrashers will be expecting, as there is so much great new thrash out there (yes, I love all the 'newbie thrashers').
Peace.

I Love Heathen and am looking forward to the new disc.Victims of Deception is a great album.I never get tired of that disc.

I like 'em well enough. It wouldn't be a priority, but I'd certainly give the new disc a shot. Why not?

I need to upgrade their discs. I only have Recovered as a real cd. The other 2 are only cdr's that I burned from the band's website awhile back when they offered up free downloads.

Hope the new album crushes.

I hope the new album kills too. You gotta admit though, that's a pretty dam cool album cover. Looks like a classic thrash cover to me.

I bet we won't be disappointed.

I need to upgade those first two too. I thought they were long out of print though. Can a person find them at a reasonable price anywhere?

Amazon has them at fairly reasonable rates (under $20) from second-hand sellers. Apparently they were re-released through Century Media back in '07. I'm a self-confessed cheap-a$$ though, so until those prices dip under $10, I'll stick with my cdrs.

I have seen VoD at Amazon and it was also re-issued a while back. You may have the best luck at 'indie stores' that stock lots of metal (do those still exist? haha).

Thanks guys! I think I'll actually have to order those. I don't mind paying around $20 for something I know is this good.

Never knew they had a new record coming out. Rad, I will most likely get it. Victims of deception is my favorate album as well.

Heathen rules!

It's actually out in Japan just before Christmas. However, in North America, it's not coming out until March.

Great, great band!! I've liked them since Breaking The Silence in '86. My first exposure was the Set Me Free video on Headbanger's Ball...or was it Metal Shop? I can't remember...too long ago, lol! Anyway, I got the tape and really liked their original material a whole lot more than the cover song. High quality speed metal/thrash!!

I hope this new one is great and isn't hampered by the members' "personal taste evolution" that so often happens with older bands' reunion albums, haha....

Sounds pretty bad-ass!

I was listening to Hypnotized on you tube earlier. Great music. I'm gonna check these guys out.

The bay area has so much to offer to the metal world

OH HELLS YEAH!!!! This is a MUST HAVE of 2010!!!!

I somehow have " Dying Season " off this new album coming out. It's really good. Sounds like stuff off of Victims of Deception. I definitely will pick this one up.

Yeah, I'm getting a "Victims of Deception" vibe as well.

I predict this will make top 10 of 2010 for me.
