Celestial Hifi [Limited Edition] [180 Gram]
Sheavy
Vinyl Rel Date: 1985-05-19
Vinyl LP pressing cut from the original masters and the sleeve printed from the original artwork files. Sheavy were often compared to Black Sabbath, mainly due to the Ozzy Osbourn-esque vocals of Steve Hennessey. It is a little known fact that upon hearing the band, Tony Iommi flew Steve in to LA to audition him as a potential vocalist for a Sabbath line-up. Sabbath comparisons aside, there's no denying that Sheavy were capable of writing fantastic and catchy original songs in their own right. Co-produced with Don Ellis and featuring a band line-up of Steve Hennessey on vocals, Dan Moore on guitars, Keith Foley on bass, and Ren Squires on drums, Celestial Hi-Fi was Sheavy's third full-length and direct follow-up to The Electric Sleep. Just as good if not better than it's predecessor thanks to album standouts like "Hyperfaster," "What's up, Mr. Zero?" and "Solarsphere."
