HEATHEN – THE EVOLUTION OF CHAOS 10TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED EDITION WITH BONUS TRACK

The 1980s San Francisco Bay Area scene was a seismic moment in the world of metal and part of that moment was Heathen. The band return January 31, 2020 with the 10th Anniversary remastered reissue of The Evolution of Chaos via Mascot Records. It will be available on CD/DVD, vinyl and digitally, including a previously unreleased bonus track ‘Seasons of Purgatory’.

The vinyl will be expanded to 2 discs, and the CD/DVD will be accompanied by a 2 hour ‘Making of’ documentary on the album as well as a live performance from 2009s Thrash Domination, Japan.

When the album was originally released back in January 2010, it was the band’s first album of new material in 18 years and saw them ride a wave of the resurgent thrash scene. All tracks have been remastered.

Guitarist Kragen Lum:
“Control By Chaos” was one of the last tracks written for The Evolution of Chaos album. The initial idea for the song was to utilize some of the elements from the first two Heathen albums that helped define the band’s sound, combine them, and then push everything a step further. As we were putting the finishing touches on the album, it was apparent that this song embodied the overall sound of the new album. It ended up serving as a “title track” for the album and fit in perfectly between “Dying Season” and “No Stone Unturned” in the original track listing.
