The U.K. band BALANCE OF POWER is known for years as one of the best-selling and popular melodic metal bands in Europe. With their first two albums „When the world falls down“ and „Book of Secrets“ the band already made themselves a name in the business, especially in Japan. With the third album „Ten more tales..“ the band really started off: singer Tony Ritchie took over the bass and American Lance King took over the vocals. „Ten more tales...“ was praised highly in the press Europewide and BOP went on their first Euro tour with Pink Cream 69 and Axxis. The follow-up „Perfect Balance“ could easily fit the high expectations and received rave reviews again. But it turned out, that there wasn‘t a real band-feeling with four British guys and an American singer, who could not be present most of the time so BALANCE OF POWER and Lance King parted ways. The new singer John K. comes out of the boys neighbourhood so BOP finally became a real band. This can be heard well on the new album „Heathen Machine“. The band again managed to bring out their best talents: Heaviness, progressivity, melody and epic songwriting combine to an unique symbiosis, which only BALANCE OF POWER can create. New singer John K. gives the band a new kick, sounds like the agressive brother of Geoff Tate and is more than a replacement for Lance King. „Heathen Machine“ was highly acclaimed by both press and fans and received a tremendous feedback. Now the guys deliver „Heathenology“ - an epic three disc set including a Best Of-CD (inlcuding many songs of the no longer available first three albums), a live-CD with an excellent sound and a DVD with complete live-show, more bootleg live material, behind the scenes footage, interview with Malcolm Dome (Kerrang) and much more. A mighty collection for special price - value for money from an exciting band you don‘t wanna miss!
