The walls at the o2 Academy have seen some incredible acts in the long years that it has stood on Hotham Street, it has held those memories within its brickwork and steel framing for so long that perhaps it is unsurprising that those reminiscences, the ghosts of fantastic sessions decided to come out of the stonework, to bleed themselves out and drench the audience in sweat at the outstanding and ear obliterating concert given by Heaven’s Basement.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
After two stunning E.P.’s it was only a matter of time before Heaven’s Basement released a debut album that matched the ferocity and desire that their presence on the rock scene demanded. That time has come and the obliterating and karmic ear assaulting result is the fantastic Filthy Empire.
Despite publicised line-up changes the transition between E.P. releases and this new album, it seems to have been an easy one and certainly the lead vocals appear to be in good hands in Aaron Buchanan as he rages, thunders and fumes against lots of humanity’s wrongs and ills.
