Surprisingly, I think Heavenly is the first French band I've ever listened to. And what a start it is. This is an expert and deft combination of power and progressive metal. After the standard musical prologue (which, even by the year 2000, had become a cliche in the genre), there's the pretty straight forward, but still winning "Carry Your Heart", before the songs get longer and more complex, and we have what is pretty much technical, progressive musical passages encasing engagingly melodious songs, with highlights including "Time Machine", "Our Only Chance" and "My Turn Will Come". The vocals are strong too, with some lovely arrangements. It might be a bit rough around the edges but, overall,
Coming From The Sky is an impressive commencement to these French metalheads.
