 n\n\n\n\n 	Instagram\n\n\nHEATHEN\n\n\nHeathen is an American thrash metal
  band originating from the San Francisco Bay Area\, active from 1984 to 19
 93 and again from 2001 onwards. Despite never achieving commercial success
 \, the band is often credited – alongside Exodus\, Testament\, Forbidden
 \, Death Angel and Vio-Lence – as one of the leaders of the Bay Area thr
 ash metal scene of the mid-to-late 1980s\, and they have gone through seve
 ral line-up changes\, leaving guitarist Lee Altus as the only constant mem
 ber. To date\, Heathen has released three studio albums: Breaking the Sile
 nce (1987)\, Victims of Deception (1991) and The Evolution of Chaos (2009)
 . The band is currently signed with Nuclear Blast Records and recently com
 pleted work on the follow up to The Evolution of Chaos.\n\n\n\n\n 	Band We

  tradition but fired with modern intensity.\n\nAfter building regional mom
 entum with local shows and their first Southern U.S. tour in late 2022\, V
 oid released their debut album Horrors of Reality in early 2023—a raw an
 d relentless fusion of Bay Area thrash aggression and the band’s siniste
 r themes. Their summer Haunted Madness tour followed\, capped by the Hallo
 ween release of their single “Silent Onslaught.”\n\nThe following Summ
 er of 2024 saw the band embark on their “Spectral Aggression” tour of 
 the US\, and after brief venture out west to open for thrash legends Whipl
 ash\, the band returned with a revamped lineup and evolved sonic identity.
  November’s “Return of the Phantom” showcased a matured\, more dynam
