Heathen was one of Bay Area thrash bands that was around
in the late 80's.
I stole this from BNR Metal Pages....
Heathen's sound is typical for the time and place, garnering good reviews and a steady following but not making it to the first division. The band had numerous ties to other San Francisco bands -- James Sanguinetti (Mordred) was a founding member (replaced by Piercy), Paul Baloff (Exodus) briefly replaced David Godfrey on vocals between albums, and Marc Biedermann (Blind Illusion) played bass on Victims.
Several years after the end of the band, guitarist Lee Altus and drummer Darren Minter were seen in the German electronic band Die Krupps, with Altus sticking around for several albums in the mid-90's.
They have 2 discs, "Victim of Deception" and "Breaking the
Silence" ....I dig it.
