About this product
Following a period of transition at the end of 2024, The Howlers entered a new phase, with frontman Adam Young rebuilding the project as a two-piece alongside drummer Toby Richards - a shift that redefined both the band's sound and creative direction, bringing a renewed sense of focus and identity. That reset came off the back of a breakthrough year. Their self-funded debut album What You've Got To Lose To Win It All landed to widespread European acclaim, breaking into the UK Independent Breakers Charts Top 10 while securing multiple positions across independent, vinyl and physical sales charts. Radio support followed from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and Absolute Radio, alongside international backing and editorial playlisting across Apple Music and Spotify. That momentum translated directly to the stage. A sold-out 18-date UK headline tour established the band as one of the country's most exciting live acts, followed by a European run that saw them sell out shows across eight countries - road-testing new material that would ultimately shape what came next. Where that debut was defined by grief and personal loss, Heavy emerges from a very different place. Driven by the tension between desire and consequence, recklessness and reality, it's an album lit by the pull of the night, the thrill of impulse and the cold clarity that follows. Written and produced alongside long-time collaborator Chris Ostler (Black Honey), the record deliberately sidesteps traditional studio methods. Instead, it was built remotely - with demos, ideas and reworked compositions exchanged across digital platforms - stripping everything back while pushing each track to it's strongest form. Only in the final stages did the band enter rehearsal spaces to capture live drums, grounding it's more experimental edges with a raw, physical energy.

![The Heavy - Amen - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/ba9d0b27-37b3-47af-8cea-153db910390f.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The Heavy return in 2023 with their sixth album Amen, an exhilarating maelstrom of '60s R&B riffs, horns, and gospel harmonies, which is set to be the freshest and most revitalised record in their canon yet. Their corrupted R&B power is unstoppable and, revived to full blast from the pandemic lull, they're hurtling into 2023, whipping and writhing with seditious blues drama, soul and gospel passion, the crunch of prime hip-hop and garage punk's visceral electricity pulsating through AMEN. The album was recorded at Rockfield Studios, produced with Tchad Blake (The Black Keys, U2) and engineered with Real World Studios' Joe Jones. The songs were written during sessions in Florida at the end of their 2019 US tour and demoed when Kelvin visited the UK in February 2020.

Heavy Creatures started making music together in the fall of 2004 in DUMBO, Brooklyn in a 140 year old monolithic warehouse basement. The place is haunted with ancient sailors, withered pines and sparkling red rubies. With the cohesion of all of these elements, a wonderful incantation of rock, traditional work song, sea shanty choruses and psychedelia has been born. Their debut recording Loaded Sky, hits you immediately with the pummeling instrumental opener 'Black Roller' and goes straight into 'Mid Night Mares' which showcases the duo vocal intensity of Sarah and Kelley. Loaded Sky takes the listener through an up and down psychedelic landscape that ranges from loud to ethereal and back again. Each band member hails from a musical background. Kelley Vaughn (guitar-vocals) is from a family of southern gospel piano players and this is her first musical project. Sarah Blust ( keyboard-vocals -percussion) (also ex-Marmalade, Succubus) has been in many musical projects since her days at Oberlin in the early 90s. She is also currently in the political marching band The Rude Mechanical Orchestra and plays drums with the band Flaming Fire. Patrick Kauffman (Drums) is also an accomplished musician who, during the beginning of Heavy Creatures, simultaneously completed his first stellar solo full length 'On The Mysterious Other'.
