Singapore Tech Death Band HEAVEN BROUGHT ME HELL Announce Japan Dates

Singapore’s genre-warping metal juggernauts, HEAVEN BROUGHT ME HELL (HBMH), continue their journey of artistic transmutation with a milestone moment: their first-ever Japan tour. Known for their blend of lyrical introspection, sonic devastation and cosmic energy fueled live performances, the band has already made waves with two acclaimed records—Life of Creation and the spiritually charged 33. Now, with six shows scheduled in Tokyo this May, HBMH prepares to unleash their fire upon Japanese soil. As the band gears up, their energy is palpable: driven by purpose, artistry, and a deeper spiritual mission.

The quintet—fronted by vocalist and conceptual visionary Hairee “The Alchemist”, along with Hairil “The Prodigy” and Pravin “The Architect” on guitars, Haridz “The Engineer” on bass, and Benson “The Commander” on drums—sees this tour as a divine alignment rather than just a milestone. For them, Japan isn’t simply another stop; it’s a spiritual destination, a place where the underground scene thrives not on hype but on authenticity, energy, and intention—principles that HBMH lives by.

Preparation for the tour has been nothing short of intense. HBMH believes that the continued success of creation—both onstage and in the studio—relies not just on skill, but on full-spectrum discipline: mentally, emotionally, and physically. Weekly jams have become rituals, refining every transition and heightening group cohesion. But beyond rehearsal rooms, each member is conditioning themselves individually to bring their absolute best.

Frontman Hairee is approaching the tour like a fighter preparing for war—mirroring the same discipline he brings to his training as a boxing coach. He runs 5km daily, follows it up with five rounds of skipping and 15 minutes on the stairclimber, hits the heavy bag and kettlebells, and integrates intense vocal drills, conditioning both body and voice to sustain peak intensity across a full hour-long set. Drummer Benson,known for his technical precision, commits nearly two to three hours a day to his craft—tightening every beat and fine-tuning the flow of the set. For HBMH, this is more than music. It’s a way of life.

Guitarist Hairil, who has been wielding the guitar since the age of six, brings almost 2 decades of dedication to the stage. A lifelong pursuit of craft fuels his playing, but it’s the energy exchange with the audience that lights the fire. “We’ve heard the Japanese crowd is wild—and we’re beyond excited to bring our sound to people who feed off that kind of energy,” he says. “We’re all psyched to turn it all the way up.”

A major checkpoint in this preparation is their upcoming show just a week before the tour kicks off—HBMH’s first-ever one-hour live set. Featuring 13 tracks, including three that have never been played live before. It’s a powerful test run of the energy and endurance they’re bringing to Japan—and a statement of their evolution as a live band.

Their visual aesthetic speaks the same language. The tour’s striking poster reflects the band’s core message—creation and destruction as twin flames. Guitarist Pravin, who leads the band’s visual direction, translates their lyrical and spiritual themes into every piece of artwork and live show animation, merging sight and sound into a unified force.

At the same time, HBMH are knee-deep in the alchemy of their third full-length album. The new material promises to stretch their sound further than ever—pushing into experimenting melodic terrain, exploring mood with deeper emotional nuance. Clean vocals will take a more prominent role, revealing new textures in the band’s sound while still retaining their signature weight and intensity. The writing process has become a living experiment, reflecting not only the members’ technical growth but also their evolving inner lives. Every riff, lyric, and vocal phrase is being sculpted to serve something larger than sound alone.

The band is embracing their evolution fearlessly, building songs that are living experiments of sound, soul, and structure.

That kind of layered writing continues, and it’s expected that the band’s time in Japan will only amplify the spirit of their third record. Bassist Haridz affirms that the writing process is fluid and ever-present—fuelled by a steady stream of riffs, lyrics, voice memos, and concepts traded constantly in their Telegram group chat. Drummer Benson also hints at the possibility of testing new material live. Everything HBMH does is in motion—always creating, always writing, always evolving.

HBMH’s discography already traces a compelling arc of evolution. Their debut, Life of Creation, captured the raw instinct of the band’s early days—a sonic outpouring born of presence and experimentation. It was chaotic by design, reflecting the unfiltered spirit of their musical identity taking shape. By contrast, their sophomore album 33 marked a spiritual and artistic maturation. This time, the band explored deeper layers—sonic space, emotional resonance, and conceptual cohesion. Tracks like Beyond the Walls, inspired by Attack on Titan, emerged from intense internal work. Hairee’s method of “consciousness transfer”—writing from the psychological perspective of others—resulted in lyrical pieces steeped in moral complexity and poetic tragedy.

But amid all the ambition and momentum, the band remains grounded in immense gratitude. Heaven Brought Me Hell sends endless love to their wives, families, friends, and fans who have supported them unconditionally. Their belief fuels every note, every show, every leap of faith. Special thanks go to Clement from Glassmouth, whose tireless help and dedication played a key role in making the Japan tour a reality. For HBMH, this moment is communal. It belongs to everyone who helped shape it.

For their fans in Japan, the message is clear: come prepared for more than just a metal show. HBMH aims to offer an experience that’s visceral, spiritual, and transformative. They’re not merely performing songs—they’re conducting alchemy.
