#JeffAment released his 3rd solo album, Heaven/Hell, on May 10, 2018.
Composed mainly on the piano, Jeff said this about the album:
“I usually end up having a group of songs that goes to the band, and then there are songs that don’t feel right, or they feel too personal.

…It has his character trademarks, but at the same time really super simple. Ed connects so well with it that anyone who hears it will wanna sing along.”
