The Hounds of Heaven were an unusual band with a sound that is hard to pin down. There are elements of goth and heavy metal in many songs, but the overall project seems to sound like a female Billy Idol album. Not much is known about the band, other than the one Blonde Vinyl release. Nelson and Deena Di Marco went on to form a darkwave\/electro band called BATZZ in the Belfry that is still active to this day.<\/td>\n <\/td>\n\"The<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
