I believe it's "crunchy", may be wrong.

I think I prefer Breaking the Silence to Victims of Deception, but this thread has made me decide to check out Victims of Deception again properly.

I think 'melodic thrash' suits them well, without suggesting their music is weak and crappy.

Only have breaking the silence, but it's a super sweet album, the guys got a great voice and everything is just in place for being a classic. They should get their act together and do some shows here, tommorow.

Damn, I can't even find my MP3s!

They're Melodic, yet the production is pretty brutal!!!

class band!! saw em with Pantera/Sacred Reich many moons ago in Newport. I think that was the line-up. it was on the Deceptions tour. actually i didn't see them properly cos i pulled some bird and was snogging and getting my fingers wet in the back seats. pretty cool

Kerry King dialup noises

Would it have been with Sepultura and SR?

Yeah dudes,

Heathen kicks so much ass, man, their double-guitar harmonies are so precise and great, i'm like melting away when i hear these oriental-like melodies.


\m/

this thread inspired me to listen to the 2005 demo for the first time in quite a while, i'm absolutely loving the song "dying season", its just so fucking good

Heathen was one of those bands that preplexed me initially. They were both melodic and raw at the same time, both light and crushingly heavy. Absolutely awesome.

Incidentally, I much prefer the version of 'Heathen' from Breaking the Silence than 'Heathen's Song' from Victims of Deception. It sounds rawer and heavier. What do you guys reckon?

Victims of Deception rules.

The first time I ever heared the song "Hypnotise", (after the 87 hour fucking intro!) I was completely blown away. Fucking amazing chorus and even though the riffs are pretty simple in that song, they're so damn awesome!

Then there's "Heathens Song", which they re-recorded and it sounded even better. What a kick arse band. I hope they all get superpowers and live forever...

I gotta praise all those tight as hell rhythm riffs in Victims

Mmmmm *Appreciates Heathen* I'm listening to breaking the silence now, it makes me excited in ways that it shouldn't
