An uncompromising quintet from rural Pennsylvania, Outer Heaven employ a punitive blend of old school extreme metal and groove-laden death metal. Founded in 2013, the band wasted little time in making a name for themselves in the East Coast heavy music scene, issuing an eponymous demo shortly after forming, followed by an EP, Diabolus Vobiscum, in 2015. They teamed up with decibel-crushing contemporaries Gatecreeper, Homewrecker, and Scorched for a 4-way split in 2016, and in 2018 they inked a deal with Relapse Records and released their first full-length effort, Realms of Eternal Decay. ~ James Christopher Monger
