Production

edit

After Shadow Project's first split in 1993, Rozz Williams and Eva O divorced (but remained friendly) and Williams' heroin addiction increased. In 1997, they would once again reunite to record From the Heart. Nathan Van Hala of Christian metal group Saviour Machine was drafted to fill in the keyboard duties.[1]

Musical style

edit

Considered a departure from previous albums, From the Heart included band material from previous records stripped down to just acoustic guitar and vocal duets.[2]

Themes

edit

Released in 1994, Eva O's first solo debut shocked fans: she had converted to Christianity, and crafted a born-again concept album titled Demons Fall for an Angel's Kiss.[3]
