Heiken from London represents the modern progressive metal scene. Vocalist Ross Jennings, the face of the band, releases his first solo album!
This work, which is a homage to his roots in American AOR and 90's arena rock, is full of melancholy and beautiful melodies. Includes Japanese version bonus track.
Heiken from London has been attracting a lot of attention in recent years as the savior of progressive metal. Debuted with the album ``Aquarius'' in 2010. They signed a contract with the prestigious progressive rock group Inside Out and released their third album, ``The Mountain'' (2013), which attracted a lot of attention. Since then, it has continued to evolve with each album, including ``Affinity'' (2016), ``Vector'' (2018), and ``Virus'' (2020). ``Virus'' achieved the feat of ranking 52nd on the Billboard Hot 100 and 2nd on the UK rock chart. Based on heavy metal, they continue to fascinate progressive rock fans with a style that greedily incorporates various musical styles such as Pink Floyd, 90125YES, classical, and jazz/fusion.
The latest release is a solo album by Heiken's vocalist, Ross Jennings. Ross likes American AOR and 90's arena rock, and is a big fan of U2, Coldplay, and R.E.M. While the fact that he's not a metal singer has been one of Heiken's greatest strengths, Ross himself has always had a desire to create albums inspired by his AOR and arena rock roots. And that finally culminated in his first solo album, ``A Shadow of My Future Self''! Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, David Gilmour, Stephen Wilson. Taking on the challenge of mainstream pop music is, in a sense, a tradition for progressive rock musicians. You can listen to a wide variety of styles, from alternative pop to arena rock, indie rock-style ballads, and even prog songs that are over 11 minutes long. The beautiful melody, full of British melancholy, is irresistible to Japanese people. This work is full of Ross' charms that cannot be heard on Heiken. This is an album that showcases the performance of a vocalist who represents the modern progressive metal scene.
