Heaven's Basement

Heaven's Basement is a British hard rock band formed in 2008 and signed with Red Bull Records. Released on February 4th, Filthy Empire is the band's debut full length album. It entered the BBC Rock Album Chart at number 9 in the UK. Filthy Empire was recorded in eight days by singer Aaron Buchanan, guitarist Sid Glover, bassist Rob Ellershaw and drummer Chris Rivers. Most of the tracks were also written in those eight days, yet the album doesn't sound rushed or unfinished: it sounds dirty and raw, brimming with attitude. The lead single is "Fire, Fire". It kicks in with pounding drums and dirty riffs, featuring one chaotic moment where all band members are soloing together.

Known for their energetic live performances and raw, dirty rock songs, Heaven's Basement have played at major festivals such as Sonisphere and Download, and have toured with the likes of Papa Roach, Buckcherry, Black Stone Cherry, Seether and most notably played their seventh ever gig in a stadium supporting Bon Jovi. Since their formation they've released two EPs and have undergone several line-up changes.

Heaven's Basement's influences come across very distinctively on this new record, Filthy Empire. Yet whether it be Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or Pink Floyd, it comes across fresh and new, with a raw energy many bands don't have now. In addition to the album launch the band has announced European tour dates in April with Black Veil Brides and a set of US dates in May to come.
