About us

Founded by Dharshika Ariyadasa, Heaven's Heathens was initially a collaborative music project designed as a means for him to find a forum for his words and music. Vocalist Dharshika has over the years worked with many talented musicians in a bid to create powerful and beautiful music. Working with a community of like-minded individuals and under the title of Heavens Heathens, his creative zeitgeist has lead to what has been described as powerful, emotive altfolk rock - a sound that is hard to categorise and impossible to ignore.

The powerful yet melodic sound that has become the defining sound of the Heaven's Heathens is the end result of one bands dream. Heavens Heathens emotive sound and powerful live presence has taken the London music scene by storm. The core of the band, now consisting of:

Dharshika Ariyadasa - vocals

Steve Marcus - guitar

Darren Malley - drums

continue to head onwards into the fray.

The band's musical direction is a startling combination of emotion and power. A mix of rock, folk and blues supply a dynamism in each song that has become the Heaven's Heathen's trademark. Now the Heavens Heathens carry on with their unique sound with their strongest line-up to date. This is a band keen to share their talent, their music with the world.

The dream, the sound, continues to grow and grow.
