About H.E.A.T
The Swedish rock band H.E.A.T was formed in 2007 and enjoyed early success with their debut album (2008) as well as tours alongside greats such as Toto and Alice Cooper. A notable turning point in the band’s history came in 2010, when original singer Kenny Leckremo was replaced by "Swedish Idol" winner Erik Grönwall.
During this era, the band cemented its international reputation with albums such as Address the Nation (2012) and Tearing Down the Walls (2014) as well as appearances as headliners. After line-up changes on guitar – Dave Dalone returned in 2016, replacing Eric Rivers – and the release of further albums such as Into the Great Unknown (2017) and H.E.A.T II (2020), there was a surprising return:
At the end of 2020, Grönwall left the band (he later joined Skid Row), and founding member Kenny Leckremo returned as lead singer. With him, the band released the album Force Majeure in 2022 and, in 2023, the compilation Extra Force, which contains new songs as well as live recordings and reinterpretations of old classics.
