The Great Good Heaven's Band

The Great Good Heaven's Band is a band of metal sinfônico / progressive of English origin, much acclaimed in the alternative circuit, by presenting songs totally out of the common standard, and by bringing to the stage a number of significant musicians.

The beginning

The band was formed in 1998, by 5 students English: Tommy Leed (vocals), Eve Bark (guitars), Carl Lewis (sets), Jan Ezrin (keyboards) and Ruth Befor (bass). At first, were covers of famous bands of the progressive scene, such as: Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, King Crimson and Dream Theater. The band was presented with the name of "Symphony from the Heaven." In 2000, released his first single, an independent production. The suite entitled "The Great Good Heaven" was a mixture of metal with folk, blues, funk music and erudite. He had 20 minutes, and the peculiarity of every 5 minutes, a small break of 30 seconds, which is heard some noises. Despite the beating fast and strong, the major emphasis was on account of the singing Gregorian, so that it had the voice of music. The most amazing of all, is that no choir was hired for the recording of music: Tommy Leed recorded all the voices, in many different shades.

The definition of the style

In 2001 the band launches additional 5 singles, and will make only shows with their own compositions. All of them followed the same style of the single "The Great Good Heaven." Precisely for this music so well characterized the band, they came to adopt the name "The Great Good Heaven's Band." From then, the musicality of the band becomes increasingly complex, the point of the 5 members not to give more to implement and gravarem the songs. Tommy Leed resolves add female voice in the band, and called his girlfriend Karla McBishark to perform this function. Since then, many new members are added, some nominated by members, other selected from tests, and then, in 2004, the band reached its current training, with the absurd number of 34 members (and 5 more members extras that playing only in concert), which recorded the first two albums of the band.

Recording of albums

In 2004 the band launches its first album, the double: "The Great Good Heaven," because with all members. There have been launched the 14 singles released previously (all were regravados the band for the album) plus 2 compositions unprecedented. In 2006 the band launches its second disc, the "Lost Souls," a disc with songs shorter, but brilliantly constructed, and genialmente interconnected, forming a single concept. For 2008, the band promises the release of a third album, the name indefinitely. According Tommy Leed, the band wants to leave the alternative circuit and come to the world scene through this disc.
