The band comment: "This song is a dark horse when it comes to hits in Belinda Carlisle's catalogue. Most people just know 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth'. Yngve Andersen (songwriter, guitarist) remembers hearing this song on TV on a summer night, on his home island Askøy when the decade changed from the 90s to the 00s. People there only had one TV channel and it was a Saturday night so everyone was watching TV. All the kids in the neighbourhood ran out after hearing that song and sung it and played; it's one of Yngve's fondest memories. We want to give those memories to a new generation."
The new single is the first new material since the release of the band's celebrated album, Praise Armageddonism, released July 2022 via Hassle Records.

Recorded over three years, and re-recorded with their new vocalist Nikki Brumen (ex-Pagan), Praise Armageddonism is Blood Command at their best yet. A one-of-a-kind proposition, the death-pop group combine blistering riffs, a hardcore attitude, and pop sensibility to create truly scintillating, invigorating music. Previously called 'one of the world's best kept secrets' by Rock Sound, achieved one of the Albums of the Year in Kerrang!, and applauded by Metal Hammer, Blood Command have stepped up even further with their new album, with Nikki Brumen fiercely leading the way.
Blood Command have previously toured with Biffy Clyro, Kvelertak, Rolo Tomassi, and Skindred, following the release of their acclaimed EP Return of the Arsonist, the conceptual successor to 2011's Hand Us The Alphamale EP. The band have also shared the stage with Refused, Tragedy, Comeback Kid, and Gallows, and have played Download Festival, The Great Escape, 2000trees and Roskilde festivals, among others. Now with celebrated UK label Hassle Records and with Nikki at the front, Blood Command's power and prestige only rises higher.
