Sheavy is a Canadian band well steeped in Doom Metal. After hearing the 70s metal guitar lines and the vocals of Steve Hennessey, you can be forgiven for thinking this may be the best Black Sabbath since Black Sabbath. Their first two albums Blue Sky Mind and The Electric Sheep has the Black Sabbath sound down pat and Hennessey often sounds like Ozzie’s twin brother, but there is plenty of excitement in these lads. They have been going strong since 1993 and, with their last album titled Republic? being released in 2005, seem to have a number of good years left. The band has five of their albums available for free downloading from their web site.

As stated. this is Black Sabbath influenced metal especially in the first two albums. However Celestrial Hi-Fi (2000) gets even harder with more psychedelic overtones. The title track is a good example of this. Lots of Sci-fi and fantasy elements creep into the mix. The band members appear to be pretty well read when it comes to writers like Asimov, Dick, and Lovecraft. For overall excellence in sound and originality, I would pick Celestial Hi-Fi as the best of the lot. Synchronized is the one to go with if like your metal fast and head-banging, while Republic stays in the same style. With five above average high octane albums, this is definitely a feast for the metal heads and the Black Sabbath freaks.

Blue Sky Mind is available in 128kbps MP3 while the other four albums are in 160kbps MP3. If you like the music support the artists by buying their CDs.
