Los Angeles Metal Group Heaven Below To Perform At 2020 Metal Hall Of Fame
The upcoming Metal Hall of Fame continues to shape up to be the best yet as we announce Los Angeles Metal group HEAVEN BELOW to perform at our 2020 Gala. Number 1 in sales at TRADEBIT.com, Top 10 on AMAZON.com’s “New Hard Rock Release” Chart, Top 20 on MUSIC CHOICE – positions usually acquired by established household names, Los Angeles based newcomers HEAVEN BELOW have already taken these accolades in a short amount of time. Frontman Patrick Kennison on vocals & guitar, Nikki Stringfield on lead, John Younger on bass & Shad Wilhelm on drums – the band is an upcoming force from the Sunset Strip. Making waves on active rock stations across the U.S. since the winter of 2012, press outlets such as HARD ROCK HAVEN have hailed HEAVEN BELOW as “the next Guns N’ Roses”. Described by THE NEW YORK EXAMINER as “unbridled balls to the wall ferocity”, the buzz and momentum of the band continues to grow as the opportunity to tour and spread the word beyond radio and internet hype has been inevitable. Last year the band recorded a searing version of RUSH’s ‘Subdivisions’ featuring the legendary William Shatner lending his narrative voice to the track. In 2016, HEAVEN BELOW released the full-length concept album titled “Good Morning Apocalypse” featuring Metal and Hard Rock Legends Udo Dirkschneider (Accept, U.D.O.), Lita Ford, Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys, Watchtower), and newcomer Kobra Paige (Kobra and the Lotus). The rise of HEAVEN BELOW in 2020 and beyond will be a great one as they are poised to erupt.
