Was formed by guitarist/song writer JT Harris, drummer/lyricist Mike Mackinnon and bassist Andy Narsingh prior to their 2000 release on Now and Then records entitled “The Outside.” After many negative reviews and disappointing record sales, the band took on a whole new approach as JT took over all song writing duties for the follow up CD. Fate however, had other plans. On the same day of their first release, the band lost their drummer in a tragic accident while JT and his dad went on to contract cancer just a year after that. Despite given months to live, JT managed to recover within a year and has been healthy ever since. His dad however was not so lucky as the cancer had returned which forced him to be confined to his bed for his final years on earth. Without JT, and no one else to write new material, the project was put on hold indefinitely as JT stayed home to help provide care for his father. There was no Heavens Fire activity of any kind for over 10 years.
2012: After mourning the loss of his dad, JT is finally ready to write again and tour as well. He soon hires long time friend Darren Smith and local drum prodigy Alexis Von Kraven to go into Phase One Studios and finish the music he had written to his new album "Judgement Day" but there would be another delay shortly after it’s completion. Darren was chosen to be the touring singer of Jake E Lee’s new band “Red Dragon Cartel” and the search is on once again for the lead vocals position.
JT has finished writing the music for another Heavens Fire album and may team up again with Darren Smith down the road if he becomes available. Till then, JT is currently writing music for a brand new project that will be announced shortly and that he plans to take out on an international tour starting in 2015.
