The Heavy’s meteoric rise was rapid. In the first year of their 2007 debut album, Great Vengeance And Furious Fire, the band was successful in the United States, being praised by publications such as Rolling Stone and SPIN. A live performance of ‘How You Like Me Now?’, the lead single from The House That Dirt Built (2009), on The Late Show With David Letterman catapulted them straight to the American top of mind.
The track was chosen to be the track for a Super Bowl advertising spot in 2010 and appeared in Mark Wahlberg’s series, ‘The Fighter’. Before long, music became part of US culture. It became so ubiquitous that it was played over loudspeakers at Barack Obama’s headquarters to declare his victory in the 2012 presidential election.
The Heavy’s invasion of the global subconscious was just beginning. ‘Short Change Hero’, also from the album, became a constant presence on TV soundtracks, reaching new generations as the theme for the game Batman: Arkham City and several Borderlands games, and even in real war zones with US Special Forces.
2012’s third album The Glorious Dead catapulted tracks like ‘Same ‘Ol’ and ‘What Makes A Good Man?’ for advertising spots, TV shows, games and the trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful 8. The band continued to expand the scope and ambition of their sound throughout Hurt & The Merciless (2016) and Sons (2019).
In 2023, after a related three-year break, they returned with their sixth album, AMEN, an electrifying whirlwind of ’60s R&B riffs, metal influences and gospel harmonies, making it their freshest and most revitalized album yet. career so far.
