Label: Rise Above Reissued 2015, Originally released 2000 UK Import Vinyl LP pressing cut from the original masters and the sleeve printed from the original artwork files. Sheavy were often compared to Black Sabbath, mainly due to the Ozzy Osbourn-esque vocals of Steve Hennessey. It is a little known fact that upon hearing the band, Tony Iommi flew Steve in to LA to audition him as a potential vocalist for a Sabbath line-up. Sabbath comparisons aside, there's no denying that Sheavy were capable of writing fantastic and catchy original songs in their own right. Co-produced with Don Ellis and featuring a band line-up of Steve Hennessey on vocals, Dan Moore on guitars, Keith Foley on bass, and Ren Squires on drums, Celestial Hi-Fi was Sheavy's third full-length and direct follow-up to The Electric Sleep. Just as good if not better than it's predecessor thanks to album standouts like "Hyperfaster," "What's up, Mr. Zero?" and "Solarsphere." Track listing: Hyper Faster What's Up Mr. Zero? Stingray - Part II Solarsphere Strange Gods, Strange Altars Celestial Hi-Fi Mountains Of Madness Persona A Utopian Interlude Gemini (The Twins) Tales From The Afterburner Nine December El Camino Real
