Heathenology

Background

The CD cover of Heathen Machine There comes a time in any bands history where they have a wish, a desire, to compile the very best of what they have produced, achieved, experienced, over the years. Be it for reasons of posterity, nostalgia, vanity, whatever, you cannot fail to recognise that Heathenology represents the very best of Balance of Power in every sense of the word.

Heathenology is indeed the Balance of Power 'ology', catering for knowing or virgin ears alike; a remixed selection of tracks from the first four albums, a live CD and a live DVD with tons of extras. Demonstratum Heathenology.
