WHAT THE PRESS HAS TO SAY ABOUT HEATHEN'S “THE EVOLUTION OF CHAOS”
“This is the album Metallica should have made after “Master Of Puppets!” FRANK ALBRECHT, ROCK HARD, GERMANY. ….
For those who think that Machine Head and Trivium are the new standard in thrash, you need to listen to The Evolution of Chaos for a true education in just how magnificently and broadly thrash metal can stretch over the entire landscape of metal. CODY, ALL METAL RESOURCE, U.S.A
Heathen returned with an album that most of their Famous countrymen would kill their mothers with no second thought in order to have created it themselves. DIMITRIS KARANTOUNIAS, METALZONE, GREECE
HEATHEN is stronger than ever and have written that great 2000s comeback album that so many other bands have failed at. MIKE, METAL TEMPLE
This is quite possibly the best new thrash album Ive heard in a long time, and ought to be an instant classic. LUCI HERBERT, MTUK….
The Evolution Of Chaos is one of the most impressive records I heard recently. It definitely surpasses the last few records of Lee Altus other band Exodus by far. FURYS FAVORITE, FURY ROCKS
This is an album that will remind you why you fell in love with metal in the first place and have you reaching for your air guitar for a long time to come. MARCUS JERVIS, MUSICXTRA
Heathen knows how to keep all their songs interesting all the time. DAVID, ASICE HERDCORE EZINE
this release takes you back to the spirit of the golden days of thrash better than a rocket-propelled time machine. ALISSA ORDABAI, HARDROCK HAVEN
Basically, this is Thrash goodness at its finest, if you are looking for a jaw dropping effort this will be right in you alley. This is a great album from a band that has been on the backburner for far too long. Hopefully this will put them at the front of the pack where they rightfully belong. HERMER ARROYO, THE METAL CRYPT
No Stone Unturned the five dudes create an atmosphere in the song that can be matched to Metallicas Puppets period TORMENTOR ERICH, LORDS OF METAL
Too many bands write great riffs but can't write songs for shit. Heathen do great riffs but incorporate them within great songs. DARREL SUTTON, UBER ROCK
