WINGS OF DESTINY - The Story Of Fifth Angel BOOK

All existing and most former members of Fifth Angel were interviewed for the book, with guitarist Ed Archer penning the foreword. To be published by Breakdown Room Publishing, LLC.

SYNOPSIS:The book shines a spotlight on one of the most promising bands to rise out of the Pacific Northwest. Written by Brian J. Heaton, the biography provides a comprehensive look at the band’s earliest roots, their elation at signing a major label deal with Epic Records, Fifth Angel’s disbandment in 1990, and ultimately the group’s reformation and current activities.

Wings of Destiny features photographs taken from throughout Fifth Angel’s history, including candid shots from the band members’ personal archives. Also included in the book is a selected discography of Fifth Angel, a comprehensive list of the band’s live appearances, personal anecdotes and stories from the group’s members, memories of Fifth Angel experiences from fans and media personalities, and much more.

Heaton was a spokesperson for Fifth Angel and ran the band’s social media channels from 2009-2010. In addition, he briefly managed Fifth Angel following the group’s debut live performance on April 24, 2010, at the Keep it True festival in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany. His experiences gave him a unique perspective to draw from as he wrote the Fifth Angel’s biography.

“I’m very grateful to all the guys in Fifth Angel for taking the time to discuss the band and its music with me,” Heaton said. “Fifth Angel’s history has been a literal roller coaster of a ride, with so many starts, turns, loops, and stops, which made the story exciting to write. But first and foremost, I’m a fan, so I did my best to give everyone from the casual reader to the hardcore Fifth Angel follower, something to dive into and enjoy.”
