Heaven is
Overrated

Music was never a choice — it was the family language. A grandmother on piano, a grandfather on banjo and trumpet, a mother on violin, a father on guitar. The craft was handed down the way some families pass down trades — through repetition, through grinding the work until it was perfect, through handwriting every note before a single one was played.

That foundation became Heaven is Overrated, born in 2000 as a solo vision built on strings — guitar, bass, anything with a neck and frets. The early years were an amp, a mic, and cassettes played back until they wore thin. In 2005, Randy Foss — known as Baron Von Blutwurst — joined the project, and in thirty days they cut four albums, most released through Reverbnation. A state line eventually split the collaboration, but the recording never stopped.

Twenty-five years later, the tools have evolved — FL Studio, Cubase, and a lot of research have replaced the four-track and the cassette deck — but the discipline is the same one learned in a living room full of instruments. In 2025, a friend from Solarset pointed the way to DistroKid, and now decades of buried recordings are finally finding their way into the world.

The music draws from everything — games, film scores, classical composition, and the weight of lived experience. It's not about being the best. If even one track reaches someone when they need it most, then every hour spent was worth it.

Yes, the drums are AI. No, the rest isn't.
