Classic Bay Area Thrashers HEATHEN are set to play Australia for the first time in support of their latest album Empire Of The Blind out now on Nuclear Blast.
Originating from the San Francisco Bay Area, active from 1984 to 1993 and again from 2001 onwards, the band is often credited – alongside Exodus, Testament, Forbidden, Death Angel and Vio-lence, as one of the leaders of the Bay Area thrash metal scene of the mid-to-late 1980s. They have gone through several line-up changes over the years, but still having the foundation of guitarist Lee Altus (Exodus), David White on vocals and Kragen Lum on guitar, with Kragen filling in for Gary Holt in Exodus whenever Holt was touring with Slayer.
HEATHEN are Bay Area royalty for sure!
