Don't Let The Hair Fool You

"Saw Heaven's Edge at Hammerjack's in Baltimore and The Cat Club in NYC. Those places are gone but the music isn't. These guys got major rotation on Headbanger's Ball before Nirvana came in and ruined it all. Unfortunately, Heaven's Edge were lumped in with the other hair bands at the turn of the decade just as grunge and rap started taking over and wiping out the greatest era for hard rockin' metal. The hairdo's looked good on MTV but close your eyes and listen to the music. Heaven's Edge closed out the '80's on top with chops galore on such early MTV staples as "Skin to Skin", my personal fave, "Play Dirty", as catchy and mean as they get, and a power ballad to rival any other from that era, "Hold Onto Tonight". And that's just what you'll want to do with this cd as you crank it up all night and hear why this music rocks better than any of the stuff that cut Hair Metal off and the stuff that will never replace it today. Long live ROCK!"

Another overlooked album

"Here's another of those bands that should have been huge in the late 80's and early 90's. Philadelphia rockers Heavens Edge had all the right elements to make it big, but for some reason never really broke through, despite the support of fellow Philadelphia band Britny Fox, who was reasonably popular at the time.



Whether you call it melodic hard rock or hair metal, Heavens Edge did it well, incorporating all of the best elements of bands like Warrant, Von Groove, Bon Jovi, and Hurricane. Sure, there's a ballad or two on the band's 1990 self-titled debut, but for the most part this is a pretty rockin' album with plenty of guitar hooks and catchy rock anthems. It's a fun album, and never gets too sleazy or too cheesy.



If you're a fan of the late 80's and early 90's hard rock sound, you'll definitely want to check this band out. Like me, you'll probably end up wondering how you missed this great album the first time around.



NOTE: This is a fairly tough album to find these days, and it has been bootlegged in recent years. Be sure you know what you're getting before you pay top dollar for it."

A Forgotten Piece Of Metal Heaven

"These guys came out a minute too late. This disc is crammed full of heavy hook laden, melodic rock and roll. One of the best tracks is the live song Is that All You Want From Me. The other is Bad Reputation. If you are a serious glam metal fan you must grab a hold of this rare item. Every song is strong."
