Heavy Kingdom feat. Wino and Conny Ochs

The legacy of SCOTT “WINO” WEINRICH in the world of heavy music is indisputable and ever-evolving, and here he teams up with CONNY OCHS, a songwriter so pure and honest in his output that he seems to be the perfect partner for WEINRICH. The two met for the first time in 2010 when OCHS was supporting WINO on his acoustic solo tour promoting his acclaimed solo album, Adrift. Together the two wrote, performed and recorded an incredible set of soulful tunes as well as a Townes Van Zandt cover track, which would become their first collaborative album, Heavy Kingdom. The artwork contains drawings by both WEINRICH and OCHS, and follows the dedicated and deeply personal approach of the whole album.
