1. An English indiepop group (active from 1989 to 1996).
2. An Australian indie avant-garde band fronted by Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof, daughter of INXS member, Michael Hutchence.
3. A French power metal band (active from 1994 to present).
1. Heavenly were a 1990s indiepop band formed in Oxford, England in 1989. Amelia Fletcher (vocals), Mathew Fletcher (drums; Amelia's brother), Peter Momtchiloff (guitar) and Robert Pursey (bass) had all been members of Talulah Gosh, a key band of the c86 scene which preceded the indiepop movement, formed in 1986.
Heavenly debuted with the 7" single I Fell In Love Last Night, followed by another 7", Our Love Is Heavenly, both released in 1990 on Sarah Records. Heavenly Vs. Satan, the group's debut album, came out in 1991. They went on to release three more albums: Le Jardin de Heavenly, The Decline and Fall of Heavenly, and Operation Heavenly.
Shortly before the release of their final album in 1996, Mathew Fletcher, the band's drummer and Amelia's brother, committed suicide. The remaining members announced that the band name Heavenly was to be retired. The other members regrouped with a new drummer as Marine Research, a moniker under which they released a single album, 1999's Sounds From The Gulf Stream. The band's core members reformed in 2002 as Tender Trap.
A collection of their singles was released in 2020 under the title "A Bout De Heavenly." Reviewing in Pitchfork, Quinn Moreland noted "Heavenly released four studio albums, but a recent singles collection, A Bout De Heavenly, makes the case that some of their most magical work existed in smaller formats."
2. Heavenly is an Australian avant-garde, experimental band consisting of members Tiger Lily Hutchence-Geldof, Nicholas Allbrook, India Rose, Scarlett Stevens, and Jacob Diamond. The band released their first EP titled Tragic Tiger’s Sad Meltdown in March 2020 on Bandcamp.
3. Heavenly, a power metal/neo-classical metal band from Paris, France, were formed in 1994 by vocalist Benjamin Sotto and drummer Max Pilo. They were originally a cover band and played under the name of 'Satan's Lawyer' before evolving into a fully-fledged Helloween-influenced power metal outfit.
In 2000, Heavenly released their debut album 'Coming From the Sky.' Although it was largely shunned by the media, the album proved a hit with metal fans and its success helped Heavenly land an appearance at the French Hard Rock Festival.
Heavenly released their second album Sign of the Winner in 2001, and received positive feedback from both fans and media alike. After appearing at Wacken (the world's biggest metal festival) in 2002, Heavenly set to work recording their third album, 'Dust to Dust,' which was eventually released in early 2004, further solidifying their status as one of France's premier power metal bands.

Heavenly Lyrics

Replacing the sleep
fight will carry on
tonight, tonight
I have to run away and
Find another place to go
And still feel alone.
To be alive
and I can give
All they'll never find.
Sometimes I dream to cross the freedom way
"So now you are powerful"
Master guide me
Dragon's fire, prayers an thunder
Will not change my mind
Cross and weapons, thousand peoples
Will not save your life.
Cause no one,
Can you believe me
Will steal my Victory,
Victory.
Hole water, stakes and hunters
You're loosing you time
Violence's calling me from hell
And I will make you die.
Cause no one,
Can you believe me
Will steal my Victory,
Victory
Victory.
Suddenly fear is within me
Visions of horror I will see
And the evil crossing horizon
Doing a mission
Changing the world
Forever more
Now the corpses're bleeding on fire
Screaming in higher
Forever more.
And the evil crossing horizon
Doing a mission
Changing the world
Forever more.
Now the corpses're bleeding on fire
Screaming in higher
Forever more.
I'm the fear, through the times
I'm the creature of the night
Look at me, pain goes by
I'm the creature of the night
I have no choice
To use my force
And carry on my way in the wild
I got a mission,
it's to be free
Revolution of liberty
Victory.
And the evil crossing horizon
Doing a mission
Changing the world
Forever more.
Now the corpses're bleeding on fire
Screaming in higher
Forever more.
I'm the fear, through the times
I'm the creature of the night
Look at me, pain goes by
I'm the creature of the night
I have no choice
To use my force
And carry on my way in the wild
I got a mission,
it's to be free
Revolution - Nation
I fight you to live
And my victory appeared

Sun is going down
The day is coming to an end
Replacing the sleep
The fight for victory continues even through the night
Fight will carry on
Against all odds, the battle will persist
Tonight, tonight
This fight is happening now
I have to run away and
Sometimes the struggle for freedom requires escape
Find another place to go
Moving on to a new location to start afresh
And still feel alone.
Despite the escape, the feeling of isolation persists
I'm in this world
The reality of the situation is present
To be alive
Living is the ultimate goal
and I can give
There is something to offer the world
All they'll never find.
The uniqueness of the individual cannot be replicated
Sometimes I dream to cross the freedom way
The longing for liberation is a recurring thought
"So now you are powerful"
A reassuring statement, acknowledging inner strength
Master guide me
A plea for guidance and direction in a challenging situation
Dragon's fire, prayers an thunder
Even supernatural forces cannot dictate the outcome
Will not change my mind
Resolve cannot be wavered
Cross and weapons, thousand peoples
The support of many and symbols of strength carry no weight
Will not save your life.
Ultimately, personal willpower determines survival
Cause no one,
No one can stand in the way of personal triumph

It may seem unbelievable, but victory is still possible

Failure is not an option
Victory.
Success is the only acceptable outcome
Hole water, stakes and hunters

A symbol of strength and resilience
Look at me, pain goes by
Facing the challenge head-on makes it pass
I have no choice

And carry on my way in the wild
Continuing the journey through the unpredictable nature of life
I got a mission,
A sense of purpose is present
it's to be free
Freedom is worth striving for
Revolution of liberty
A groundbreaking change towards freedom
I fight you to live
The fight for survival is crucial
And my victory appeared
Success is achieved against all odds

I cant find any similar songs to this, know any that has these types of harmony and vocals ??
Andy Frisch
+Pyro Fang not songs just bands. other stuff by Heavenly, Symphony x, Rhapsody (of fire), ReinXeed, Iron Mask, Power Quest, Cryonic Temple, Helloween and gamma ray maybe, galneryus etc. I just search for epic, symphonic, neoclassical power metal. but for this I probably searched for uplifting, empowering, or inspiring power metal.

I've just recently gotten into power metal and have found some really good bands, but Heavenly has to be the most kick ass.
