I ║ │ │║ think for me a big turn off was their cover of "Set Me ║ │ │║ Free." I personally didn't care for that, what did ║ │ │║ initially attract me to the band was the fact that they had ║ │ │║ worked with Ronnie Montrose. When I got this compilation of ║ │ │║ covers & demos, my expectations for such a mix of material, ║ │ │║ wasn't very high. I do admire them for taking a chance & ║ │ │║ opening the record with two songs, that I never heard as ║ │ │║ thrash/power metal hybrid,ôDeath on Two Legsö by Queen & ║ │ │║ ôThe Holy Warö by Thin Lizzy. Who would have thought? ║ │ │║ I like their renditions, they brought a fresh approach to ║ │ │║ each of those two tracks. I think if someone wasn't ║ │ │║ familiar with the originals, they'd think they were Heathen ║ │ │║ material. Heathen did include one original track recorded ║ │ │║ for this compilation, it's entitled ôIn Memory of...ö It's ║ │ │║ a very emotional, moody, it gives the band a chance to ║ │ │║ branch out & do something more than just shred. I'm sure, ║ │ │║ this newly recorded track, will please their core fan base. ║ │ │║ I think the real bonus to this collection is the remastered ║ │ │║ demos. You get an opportunity to do some time traveling & ║ │ │║ listen to band in their infancy, with raw & an ║ │ │║ unadulterated sound. The innocence of the band & their ║ │ │║ energy is captured brilliantly on these recordings, the ║ │ │║ remastering just enhances the experience. ║ │ │║ Clearly if you're a fan of Heathen you'll be jumping for ║ │ │║ joy that they have returned after a lengthy hiatus. I think ║ │ │║ this is a good record, that fans of power metal & thrash ║ │ │║ would really appreciate. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
