Alternative rock act, Heavenward, has been on our radar since 2020 and yesterday’s album announcement was a treat for fans who have been waiting for a full-length!
The project of Kamtin Mohager (Chain Gang of 1974, ex-Teenage Wrist), Heavenward specializes in blending noise, feeling and aggression into a rather therapeutic medium for both artist and listener. Debut album, Pyrophonics, is due out on June 16 via Mohager’s label, Fever Ltd. and lead single, “Gasoline,” doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable.
Delving into finding comfort in mortality, “Gasoline” is an electrifying first listen into the world of Heavenward as elements of alternative rock of the nineties and early aughts come into play, tugging on the heartstrings of MTV kids and beyond.
“The album is about my personal acknowledgement of my personal struggles, and for lack of a better term, my ‘demons.’ In a not so healthy way, accepting the darkness within and continuing to live your life. Possibly even embracing them. This is why I decided to call the album ‘Pyrophonics.’ Simply put, it’s a destructive language for yourself,” shared Mohager.
