It’s rather unusual to find a band that released a demo (in this case “Sampler”) a year before forming. But, that seems to be the case from everything I have read about this French-Canadian progression rock act. “Sampler” was released in 1993 while this Montreal, Quebec outfit is said to have officially formed in 1994. Whatever the case since forming the band has had a rather sporadic history when it comes to studio albums. “Food For Thought Substitute”, the band’s debut full-length album, was released in 1996 and, from most accounts, was fairly well-received by fans and critics alike. The band’s follow-up release, “Primal Power Addiction”, was released in 2002. It took 10 years, but now we finally get to the band’s 3rd release, “Wheels of Impermanence”, and , from what I can tell from a bit of research (in other words I did some random Google searches for descriptions of previous albums) , it’s more of the same for Heaven’s Cry. At least if progressive, melodic rock/metal is still the game being played? You know it probably does not say much when possibly the biggest claim to fame for the group is not their own music. That would almost make too much sense. Rather, quite possibly the biggest claim to fame for the band seems to be the fact that Heaven’s Cry member Pierre St-Jean was a session bassist on Voivod’s
