HEAVEN'S CRY - Food For Thought Substitute Reissue Track Streaming




On the heels of the fall release of their comeback release, Wheels Of
Impermanence, Canadian progressive metallists HEAVEN'S CRY will reissue
their first two albums, Food For Thought Substitute and Primal Power
Addiction, on January 8th, 2013. The albums - which are now available
for pre-order separately or as a specially-priced bundle
- along with revamped artwork, have been newly remixed by Yannick
St-Amand (DESPISED ICON, BENEATH THE MASSACRE, KATAKLYSM) and remastered
by Jens Bogren (OPETH, KATATONIA, SYMPHONY X).


The first single from Food For Thought Substitute, 'Gaia’s
Judgement', is currently streaming online at BraveWords.com - head to
the left-hand-side of the site to launch the KnuckleTracks Online Audio Player.





"I'm having a blast listening to our music the way we imagined it
back then," says vocalist/guitarist Pierre St-Jean. "Our music has
multiple layers where guitars and bass play different parts to create
textures, and since our music is less riff-oriented than what most rock
and metal bands do, it's important to hear every detail, every
instrument clearly. That is now possible, thanks to Yannick and Jens."


Guitarist Eric Jarrin (ex-Despised Icon) added, "I'm so grateful
that Prosthetic Records agreed to re-release our first two albums. We
worked very hard writing those tunes but unfortunately, we did not have
the resources at the time to make it sound the way we wanted it to.
Having the opportunity to revisit these albums and give them a new
polish, it finally feels like justice has been done to these songs. You
know, in the making of a progressive album, every detail is important.
Our goal has always been to make sure that the music and the lyrical
content are coherent, and that every instrument plays its role in the
process. Now that they have been remixed properly, you can hear the
music we wrote in its entirety."





Heaven's Cry formed in the early '90s in Montreal. Before long,
founding members St-Jean and Sylvain Auclair (vocals, bass) signed with
Canadian label Hypnotic Records and recorded their debut album Food For
Thought Substitute in 1996. The album was simultaneously released in
Japan and was awarded the #13 spot for Metal Albums of 1996 in Burrn!
Magazine. Subsequently, the band's buzz spread throughout Europe and
earned the band several "album of the month" features in many acclaimed
magazines.


René Lacharité (drums) and Eric Jarrin (guitar, ex-Despised Icon)
joined the band prior to the release of their second record, Primal
Power Addiction, in 2002 on Dutch label DVS Records. The groundbreaking,
critically acclaimed release was well received and earned the band a
spot on the prestigious ProgPower Festival in the Netherlands, as well
as a European tour supporting Threshold. Heaven's Cry supported the
album's North American release by performing alongside the likes of
ANVIL, PLANET X, ARENA, and NIGHTWISH in 2004.


After taking a seven-year hiatus, the band recently released their
third album, Wheels Of Impermanence. The band supported the release by
headlining the ProgPower Festival in the Netherlands in October and are
scheduled to take part in the ProgPower USA Festival in 2013.
