Encyclopedia
On Earth As It Is In Heaven is the third album by the rock band Angel
. This marks the last album with Mickie Jones who was the band's bass player since 1974. It was produced by Eddie Kramer (KISS/Jimi Hendrix) and recorded in an actual castle in the Hollywood Hills. It marked a shift from progressive and symphonic hard rock to a more mainstream hard rock approach, with the exception of "Cast the First Stone" and "Just A Dream" which are very similar in sound to the songs on Angel and Helluva Band
. In fact, "Cast The First Stone" was written during the Helluva Band
sessions. The band toured non-stop and it was during this time they would make their first and only tour of Japan. The album peaked at #77 on the US Billboard charts.
Lovember Records reissued On Earth... as a Limited Edition in August, 2008. The reissue was digitally remastered, and included a 16-page booklet with liner notes by journalist Dave Reynolds (Classic Rock Magazine/Kerrang), a track-by-track run down by singer Frank DiMino, all lyrics, and unreleased photos. The LP originally contained a symmetrical poster of the album cover.
