Dust to Dust is the third full-length studio album by the French power metal band Heavenly. It was released on 12 January 2004 by Noise Records. Dust to Dust is a concept album following a man seeking revenge upon the Master of Doom for transforming him into a vampire and forcing him to prey on the innocent for eternity. The album concludes with the protagonist overcoming his master. He suffers a fatal wound, but he regains his soul and attains paradise.
It's the last album with the founder drummer Maxence Pilo, guitarist Frédéric Leclercq and bassist Pierre-Emmanuel Pélisson. There was no official tour for this album. Instead, the band performed only once, in London, where Heavenly appeared as a special guest for DragonForce. During that show, they played “Victory” and “Kingdom Come” live for the first and only time in their career.
The album's cover art was designed by Jan Meininghaus, a graphic designer from Germany.[1]
In 2017, Loudwire ranked it as the 25th best power metal album of all time.[2]
