Heavenly

The Profile

Heavenly are a French power metal band formed in Paris in the mid-1990s. They debuted on Noise Records with Coming From the Sky and went on to release Sign of the Winner, Dust to Dust, Virus, and Carpe Diem, pairing speed-metal tempos with melodic, high-register vocals by Benjamin Sotto.

DeBaser reviews discuss Coming From the Sky and Virus, highlighting glossy keyboards, high vocals, big choruses, and a derivative power/speed metal approach.

Two DeBaser reviews by ilfreddo skewer Heavenly’s power metal: glossy keyboards, high-register vocals, and big choruses over familiar speed-metal patterns. Coming From the Sky is cited as emblematic of genre trivialization. Virus is deemed a no-change follow-up with pleasant moments but little originality. A few tracks stand out (“Wasted Time”, the ’80s cover “When The Rain Begins To Fall”), yet overall verdict remains harsh.
