Paris based Heavenly was founded during 1994 by vocalist Ben Sotto and drummer Maxence Pilo, originally as a cover band dubiously entitled Satan's Lawyer. With the evolution into Heavenly came guitarist Anthony Parker and the ensuing three track demo session. These recordings were soon snapped up by the German Noise label but not before Parker made his exit.
