HEAVEN is a five-piece heavy rock/metal band formed in Sydney Australia in 1980. By focussing on the Aussie PUB ROCK sound with a hint of METAL, the band forged its own unique sound and by 1982 became international artists.
HEAVEN based themselves in Los Angeles where they toured extensively with iconic bands including KISS, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and many others.
HEAVEN gained the success to headline their own major tours. The band is musically tougher than ever and with the current re-release in UK & Europe of the album Where Angels Fear to Tread, the band is gearing up to record and tour
