In August ended the Heathen Eyes plea for funding to make a new album on Indiegogo. With incentives ranging from a “hug and a high five” to the “Daft Punk is playing at my house, my house” experience, 23 people reached into their wallets and the $2000 goal was reached, with $205 in spare change.

Now friends and freeloaders alike can get a taste of the fruit of their hard work. The Blood of Cain, the first single from the forthcoming crowdfunded album, is available now and next Friday night, November 1^st 2013, at the Kings Arms is the single release party, with support from Overhaile and Day3. 

If the single’s live b-side Falling Trees is anything to go by, you’re going to get your ears handed to you in a small wooden box, as that will be all that’s left of you after these bands blow you away.  

The Blood of Cain sounds a lot like old school Alice in Chains, and sorry to offend the musical purists, but at times when switching between Man in the Box and the Blood of Cain I couldn’t remember which band I was listening to. 

Fear not; Heathen Eyes are no Alice in Chains cover band. Check out their earlier song Ocea, which has a very Deftones/Incubus/Shihad feel to it.

For those of you that are still mourning the loss of Layne Staley, and haven’t yet noticed that Alice in Chains are back, you should probably stop hanging out in your squalled bedroom at your mum’s house. You should also get down to the Kings Arms for this show, or at least find the single online, because you have to hear this song.

You can Stream and Download The Blood of Cain single from the Heathen Eyes Bandcamp or if you’re more than the casual fan and want to see this band go far, check it out on their ReverbNation account, because your views, listens and downloads all matter.

And guys. Next time you come to Palmy, I’ll slip you a tenner for a physical copy of the single. I’m excited to see the artwork.
