After a sold-out first leg in Europe, H.E.A.T kicked off their next round of live shows last night in Sao Paulo, Brazil, bringing their contagious energy to Rock fans across the globe, following the release at the end of April of their latest twelve-track album, 'Welcome To The Future', that bursts with hooks and the unmistakable energy that has made H.E.A.T one of the most exciting names in Classic Rock today, of which the quintet's latest album track single, 'Running To You', is also one of today's six of the best 'Sunday Rocks!'

Judging by the ecstatic response to their debut album released in 2023, 'The Approbation', there are many people who recognise magic when they hear it, such as when WRC Award nominees Avkrvst introduced a new force in Progressive Metal, and a fresh strain of artful heaviness that instantly chimed with the Prog community and beyond, and on Friday 13th June the quintet release their second and most formidable album to date, as 'Waving at the Sky' takes everything that was compelling about 'The Approbation' and pushes it further towards Progressive perfection, of which one of the seven album tracks, 'The Malevolent' featuring Ross Jennings, is also one of today's six of the best 'Saturday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Sandness, Militia Vox and FleischKrieg, W't'M, Silver Dollar Room and I.F.A.
