Helix - Long Way To Heaven (1985) [Collector's Ed. 2011]

Long Way to Heaven is the fifth studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Helix. 24-bit remastering from original source tapes.

HELIX WERE a band you could always count on to deliver; live they were like an explosion in a circus and on record they served up numerous hard rock anthems. Furthermore, they were relentless hard workers, banging out classy albums in the blink of an eye and touring the world like men possessed. The smart money was on Helix not only making the grade but also setting the bar for Canadian rock in general.

‘Long Way To Heaven’, originally issued in 1985, was the band’s third album for Capitol records, their two previous records having elevated them from interesting contenders to hot-shot upstarts with their eyes set firmly on the prize. Naturally, this album doesn’t disappoint either, erupting with a fine selection of sing-it-shout-it party rock anthems to rival the most successful bands of the era. Tracks such as ‘Ride The Rocket’, ‘School Of Hard Knocks’, ‘Bangin’ Off-A The Bricks’ and the title track itself leave no stone unturned in the quest for the perfect hard rock anthem.

Issued to universal acclaim, Helix’s hard work paid off, especially in Europe where it shot straight to the #1 spot on the Swedish album charts. Elsewhere, the reception was equally as warm, allowing the band to continue their relentless touring schedule and driving home the message that Helix were one of the hottest tickets on the scene.
