notes

HeavensDust was formed in 2000 by Shinsaku (Vo.Gt.), Mai (Ba.) and Atushi (Gt.). Their goal was to create an individual sound that no other band can make.
In 2003 Goushi (Dr.), Kamikaze (koto) and Ajo (wadaiko) made the final pieces of the puzzle. By including koto (traditional Japanese harp) and wadaiko (traditional Japanese drums) HeavensDust mixed traditional Japanese melody and rhythm with alternative metal and rock.

  • One awesome band!
    author: Tim D. Barnett

    HeavensDust is one of my favorite rock metal bands, and they have a wonderful mix of instruments not normally seen in the metal genre. Very ingenious and a mix of incredible songs. I am so glad I found and purchased this artist's music, and I recommend anyone who loves this style of music to get any of their CDs.

  • Brutally awesome!!
    author: Hakk

    Very different sounding album from their two latest cd's ("Closure..." and "...Voice") with songs ranging from the savagely dark and brutal to the brutally beautiful. It sounds better every time I listen to it. Get this cd!!

  • Brutal & Beautiful
    author: Liquid

    So many songs, so much power. it's metal with style of japan, this is a very professional act, this is more than you're expecting, this rocks :D get this cd by any means !!

  • Industrial pain and hope
    author: CSal

    But first - upon inserting this cd in your computer, it will try to open a website for the band. It took a couple tries to get it to just play the music and stop opening the web page. I recorded to the drive and haven't had any problems since. The bass is buzzy on a few songs, but otherwise good recordings. The first seven songs are not songs, but four seconds each of clicks and pops. The MUSIC: On the second play and more, songs began to stand out from each other. Half the songs are good, the other half are really good. Some stand outs were Kagami (instrumental), Hang, Alive, Snow, Trust No One, In Disgrace, Living Dead, and Endless Sins (instrumental). The use of Japanese drum and harp isn't very pronounced here, if used at all. HeavensDust's two other cds do use more of the traditional Japanese instruments. Overall, I would recommend this cd.

  • BUY THIS CD!!!

  • You should get this

    A really great band !Love their style.One of my permanent faves on my list. I'd rate it more than five...if I could.

  • Great
    author: Paul F

    This CD is great. There's so many songs on it, you'll hear something new every time you listen. This is good, original alternative music blended with traditional japanese instruments, and it's perfect.

  • My god, frikkin awesome, just frikkin awesome
    author: David Bennett

    Aight, so i also heard them through chronixradio.com and reluctantly ordered the CD online (i have this phobia of ordering online, even though nothing has ever gone wrong ever...). Anyway, i got the CD and listened to it like 50 times cause it is so great. The best i can summarize it is it is very angry, but unilke most american bands, it has this eastern feel that is so fresh and so frikkin awesome. anyway, totally buy it cause its what 12 dollars, it would be worth it at 20, for shizzle.

  • I'm really speakless....

    I first heard Heavensdurst on chronixradio.com and from this moment on i was searching for a cd and more of their musik. A few days ago i recieved the cd from cd-baby and after i heard it several times now i must say they really rock! I most like the song "alive" and the "intro" which is a fantastic combination of the old instruments and some hard sounds! Short said, i love their musik and i'm loking forward another cd! P.S. Sorry for my bad english!Only a little german metalhead.

  • Love this band!!!
    author: Jim Bayside

    If you like heavy music you have to buy this CD. They are so unique unlike other heavy bands out there. Japanese drums and the harp is so amazing. It makes it so beautiful, dark and heavy.

  • I love every song
    author: Nate Rosier

    This is what metal should be about - combining unique sound, heavy riffs, well timed melodies and deep subject matter. I'll get their next album as well.

  • Very unique and talented band
    author: Aya

    An amazing album, I wish that the CD came with the lyrics to the songs, but it's not too much of an issue :D the last track on the album was hauntingly beautiful, this CD will appeal to those who like melodic heavy rock.

  • KICK A$$!!!
    author: magnumblade

    One of the more original sounds out there, all the stuff out there in the main stream is too simular, but HeavensDust brings a new flavour in this cd with their dark rock sounds and their ancient japanese instrument. Any fans of Korn and Deftones will also love this cd.

  • Awesome!!
    author: Melanie

    Any hardcore rock fan will appreciate what this band brings to the table. Awesome beats and guitar sounds. I love the Japanese ancient instruments--very unique! My only wish is for more Nihongo in the lyrics, but this band's cd totally rocks!! :)
