Following the critically acclaimed reception of “Get It Right” and a successful return to stages across the U.S. and Europe, Philadelphia hard rock veterans HEAVENS EDGE have announced their new studio album, “Philadelphia”. Paying tribute to the city where the band’s journey began nearly four decades ago, the album is set for release on November 13 via Frontiers Music Srl. Alongside the announcement, the band has unveiled the new single “What’s He Got”, accompanied by an official music video.
HEAVENS EDGE comments: “This album represents 40 years of our time together as a band. The album has a greater variety of songs than anything we’ve ever done before. This is because we are more comfortable than ever with who we are and what the music means to us. We make music for the love of it, for those who have supported us over the years and for those just discovering us now. It’s never too late.”
On the new single, HEAVENS EDGE states: “‘What’s He Got’ is a simple theme of longing and wanting to be a better person to catch the attention of someone you admire. We wanted to lead with a track that felt familiar and upbeat, with a sound that reminds everyone why they love rock ‘n’ roll. Let’s not complicate things!”.
For a band whose history has been marked by major-label success, personal loss, extended periods away from the spotlight, and one of hard rock’s most remarkable comebacks, “Philadelphia” serves as both a heartfelt tribute to their roots and a confident statement of what lies ahead. Instead of simply looking back, HEAVENS EDGE are continuing the creative resurgence that made “Get It Right” such a critical and fan favorite, offering another set of memorable tracks filled with infectious hooks, genuine emotion, and the band’s unmistakable attitude.
Produced by the band with additional production from Jacob Bunton, mixed by Jay Ruston, and mastered by Jens Dreesen, “Philadelphia” finds HEAVENS EDGE sounding more confident and energized than ever. From the fist-pumping anthem “LFG” and the infectious lead single “What’s He Got” to the irresistible melodic drive of “Definite Maybe”, the album captures a band operating at full strength, blending the swagger and power of classic American hard rock with contemporary songwriting and polished production.
Fronted by the unmistakable vocals of Mark Evans and driven by the exceptional guitar work of founding members Reggie Wu and Steve Parry, alongside drummer David Rath and bassist Jaron Gulino, HEAVENS EDGE once again demonstrate that their second chapter is every bit as powerful and captivating as their original run.

Titled after the city that played a defining role in their history and inspired generations of hard rock fans, “Philadelphia” is far more than simply a new album — it stands as a celebration of resilience, brotherhood, and the lasting power of great songwriting. While “Get It Right” marked HEAVENS EDGE’s triumphant return to the spotlight, “Philadelphia” proves that the band’s creative resurgence is still going strong.
