heat welcome to the future artwork<\/span><\/p> Formed in 2007, H.E.A.T. initially came up amid a thriving Swedish scene that served as the hotbed for the new school of hair\/glam metal and melodic hard rock. Now, with\u00a0Welcome to the Future<\/em> representing their eighth album, fans should look at the group as less of a new school band paying homage to the ’80s and more as established veterans who have reliably modernized the sound and style for new generations.<\/p>\n Most importantly, while the lyrical themes are recognizable as a throwback, they don’t sound dated or contrived. Instead, they’re presented with an air of authenticity and loads of fun, a difficult thing to achieve when bridging influences from 40-50 years ago\u00a0to the present day.<\/p>\n If you love grin-inducing synth melodies, hard-charging riffs and loads of gang vocals, look no further than H.E.A.T.’s music video for the rip-roaring “Disaster” directly below.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0The 11 Best Hair Metal Albums of the Last 25 Years<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Welcome to the Future<\/em> is out on April 25 on earMusic and can be purchased at the band’s website<\/a>.

The spirit of ’80s American flexing, layered with erotic top notes and captured in four minutes of illegal bass thumping.<\/p>\n Best scene: (0:25)\u00a0The guy climbing fence.<\/p>\n Don Crash (drums):<\/p>\n The title says it all \u2014 this song is a party.<\/p>\n The video starts with a guy working a crappy job before Poison smash through the wall to rescue him with rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. It\u2019s an anthem for escaping the daily grind and going all in on the party.<\/p>\n Best scene: (2:08) Bret Michaels throwing a drink into the air while dancing onstage, fully embodying the rockstar dream.<\/p>\n Jona Tee (keyboards):<\/p>\n The ultimate ’80s hit sits right at the top for me with the video bringing the vibe. Chains, sex, leather and rock ‘n’ roll.<\/p>\n Best scene:\u00a0(2:03) When the girl adds the poison pill to the glass.<\/p>\n Jimmy Jay (bass):<\/p>\n The video is pure arena rock glory\u2014big hair, leather and a relentless performance that oozes attitude.<\/p>\n Best scene:\u00a0(1:45) When Jon Bon Jovi points directly at the camera, delivering the line \u201cYou give love a bad name<\/em>\u201d with that signature smirk\u2014pure rockstar charisma.<\/p>\n Kenny Leckremo (vocals):<\/p>\n This is not a band music video per se, but this is one of the best interpretations of a song expressed in video format.<\/p>\n The movement, machinery, color, beauty, action and freedom present here really speaks volumes of what rock n\u2019 roll music is all about.<\/p>\n Most fans just think of the ’80s when it comes to hair metal, but these 11 albums prove that the 21st century has plenty to offer with new generations of glam bands!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Sydney Taylor<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nH.E.A.T., “Disaster” Music Video<\/h3>\n
