I have always had high thoughts about Heavenly, even if I never heard a whole album, it might be because of those songs I heard, that they held a really high quality, or maybe because of the fact that they had a song with Kai Hansen on vocals (in a duet with Benjamin Sotto).
Anyway, enough of that now.

Heavenly here releases their third album since the debut in 2000 ("Coming From the Sky")

Which song does Timo Kotipelto contribute vocals to?
----
Kick Ass, Die Young

Less is More
Stay Pure
Stay Poor

Music was my life, music brought me to life and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz in my head that only I can hear.

This album leaves me without words, seriously. All songs are very catchy and very creative, and the concept is quite uncommon to power metal, too (it involves vampires ).

Just discovered it, awesome! Perfect blend of Rhapsody, Angra, Gamma Ray and Avantasia.
Pity such albums are not being recorded anymore.

Very enjoyable album, it reminds me a lot of Rhapsody, the guitarwork is fantastic, and the lyrical themes are very unoriginal for a power metal band, I like it

Never thought I would enjoy a power metal concept album about vampires. Vampires are more gothic or doom than to be power metal in my mind. But this album changed my opinion. To many great moments, superb performance of guitars and vocals and drums and a fair amount of complexity made me listen to this album 3 or 4 times a day for a couple of months. I think they deserve to be in top 200 of all time.

Minus point for extreme Gamma Ray inspiration in songs. I'm adore Gamma Ray, but this is little bit too much! Other than that - awesome and highly enjoyable record, that gets better with every new spin!

Been listening to this one quite a lot the recent week and i'm really impressed with what they achived here. While it do sound like a lot like Gamma Ray and also Stratovarius at times I don't think it's a negative thing. I like how the songs feel fleshed out with lot of different ideas and the performance is stellar. One of the better PM finds in a long time.

Too long for its own sake: outstanding moments are mixed with pretty average power metal. Their finest work will come later, with next (and last?) two albums, where they refined their style and sound, left only the best parts and made all perfect.
