"Heaven Sent" was a collaboration album between Boyd Rice, Douglas Pearce (Death In June)

and the percussionist John Murphy (July 11, 1959 - October 11, 2015, ex-SPK, ex-The Associates, ex-Current 93),

with the help of the Strength Through Joy duo (Timothy Jenn - Richard Leviathan) and Campbell Finley on trumpet,

recording under the name Scorpion Wind, released in 1996 on NER.

The album consists of Boyd Rice's spoken-word lyrics on subjects ranging from Social Darwinism to alcohol

with backing music in various styles, including lounge and neofolk.
Recorded in Australia prior to the pair (Boyd / Douglas) starring in the cult film "Pearls Before Swine", 

it is a unique, melodic and richly orchestrated ode to the decay of civilization and the death of heroes and gods.
In 2007 Nerus digitally remastered the album and re-released it on CD format

including two extra tracks from the era with new artwork, presented in a red and black foil-blocked softpak.
