Billy Talent Afraid Of Heights

Toronto-based punk rockers Billy Talent released their fifth studio album
Afraid of Heights in 2016. Preceded by the strong singles “Afraid of
Heights”, “Louder than the DJ” and “Ghost Ship of Cannibal Rats”, the
album became both a critical and a commercial success. It hit number 1
on the album charts in several countries including their native Canada.
It is the first album with drummer Jordan Hastings (of Alexisonfire
fame), after drummer Aaron Solowoniuk announced he would not be
able to play drums for the foreseeable future due to a multiple sclerosis
relapse. However, Solowoniuk very much remained part of the band
and was involved in the recording of the album. It was a new chapter for
Billy Talent, but the trusted high-energy punk rock that they are known
for remains more than solid. Just listen to the thumping “The Crutch” or
the introspective epic “Rabbit Down The Hole”.
The album is available on black vinyl. It is housed in a UV matte finished
gatefold sleeve, which also contains a 4-page booklet.
