5.0 out of 5 stars top notch power metal, April 24, 2007

By	Kevin "powermetalfan" (denver, co) - See all my reviews

far and away, this is the best power metal album i've heard since sonata arctica's "reckoning night". sonata's very own tony kakko (among others) even does some guest vox! every song on this album is great and it never lets up. great melodies, great orchestrations, great solos... all around amazing!!! i recommend this to any fans of fast, symphonic metal, you will not be disappointed. i've listened to this cd at least once (usually more) every day since ive gotten it and it just keeps getting better and better. go buy it now!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Heavenly ever, July 8, 2007

By	Sean O'Connel (Salem, OR. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If your a fan of power metal or melodic speed metal or just good ol' fashion metal, this is a must have. I didnt think they could out do Dust To Dust, exspecially with Fred in Dragonforce, but I think this album is way better then Inhuman Rampage... No offense to Sam and the boys.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Album, worth the money! , March 9, 2009

By	Aaron Johnsen (VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I only own Heavenly's debut Coming from Above, and although I have heard some songs from Sign of the Winner and Dust to Dust, I can't compare the musical evolution except from Above and Virus.

And beavers...what a change!

First off, Heavenly is what I consider a mix of Dragonforce and Angra. Excellent guitar work, high signing and very technical. Ben Sotto is very under appreciated- the man can sing, and has quite a wide range!
There are a few guests on this album, most notably Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica (fav. band) and Tanja Lainio from Lullacry, among others.

Heavenly is not a Christian band, although they have more positive lyrics
compared to others of the same genre. At first I though titles like "Spill Blood on Fire" and "The Power & Fury" seemed rather dark, though a quick lyric check seems to show a more pacifist view on fighting. Perhaps.

The Dark Memories 4/5
Spill Blood on Fire 5/5 A cool song all around.
Virus 3/5 Not my favorite on the album.
The Power & Fury 4/5 Power Metal all the way lol.
Wasted Time 5/5 Tony Kakko's song (small part) Reminds me of Iron Maiden's Hallowed Be thy Name...
Bravery in the Field 4/5
Liberty 5/5 Oh man this is too catchy!
When the Rain Begins to Fall 10/5
^
THIS SONG OWNS. PERIOD. So freaky catchy, it's just a great song. Nice technoish start out, and a duet with Sotto and female vocalist Lainio (beautiful voice). The lyrics are very nice too.
The Prince of The World 5/5 Another Maiden inspired song. Great stuff.

I wasn't sure for months if I wanted this album or not. If you have Coming from the Sky and are not sure about Heavenly, I assure you that this album is VERY good. Give it a shot a a few spins so your brain can process it's goodness...ness. Yeah. lol
