Album Notes & Community Reviews

Widely credited as a foundational text of the psychobilly subgenre, 'In Heaven' violently collides 1950s rockabilly twang with the manic tempo of British punk rock. The trio's obsession with B-movie horror imagery and relentless, slap-bass-driven energy created a rabid subculture that endures decades later.
