Heartland - Into The Future (2021)

After 14 years of silence, Heartland is back with a monster of an album, titled "Into The Future". Chris Ousey has had an excellent singing career that goes way back to the times of Monroe and Virginia Wolf and along the way we have had The Distance, Ozone and Snakecharmer, but he will always be known for the much loved Heartland. He is nicknamed 'the man with the golden tonsils' and that is a fine accolade that he has earned. His effortless vocal range has gained him a top spot in the world of classic UK hard rock.

Heartland was formed in 1990 by Chris Ousey and Gary Sharpe. Steve Morris joined in 1995 when "III" was released, the first Heartland album for Escape Music. Steve has been in the band since then right up the 2007 release "Mind Your Head".

"Into The Future" marks a new era for Heartland. The brand-new release and a fantastic new line-up with Chris's vocals still showing no signs of tiring! This marks this 10th studio album, a milestone indeed.

Here we have an album that reflects the prowess of all the musicians involved on this album, featuring the fantastic Mike Slamer (City Boy / Streets / Seventh Key / Steelhouse Lane) and Ged Rylands (Ten / Rage Of Angels / Tyketto) along with the seasoned Barish Kepic, Wayne Banks and David Anthony.

"Into The Future" is typically Heartland, the style is immediately recognized, yet there is a fresh vibrant feel that gives the fans something new. The song "Foreign Land" has already had an airing and is a typical song from the album, this is what melodic rock is all about!
