Toronto-based band Heavens
Fire may not be a well enough known name in rock music, but they sure have
as interesting of a back story as any of the many bands to have come before
them. I personally think of Def Leppard’s
well documented misfortunes when I think of the heaven and hell that the band
has gone through over the past thirteen or so years. The story is well
documented on the bands Website, so
to shorten it slightly, after the release of their debut album in the year 2000
and what looked like a promising start having gained attention in Europe and
Japan, the band’s drummer suffered a very untimely death. Not long after that,
guitarist JT Harris was given months
to live after being diagnosed with cancer. After defying those odds and
surviving, JT’s father grew very ill
and the band was once again put on hold.
