Built upon the idea of reversing the meaning of lyrics to Pantera songs, Indians to Heaven (the name itself an antonym to Pantera's moniker, Cowboys from Hell) represents the work of Aleks Habus and Ben deHoedt, who have each written and recorded their own “antonym” of Pantera’s “The Great Southern Trendkill”. Whilst this would appear to be the foundation for a novelty project, the parameters and limitations of the lyric reversal process have served as an effective funnel for creativity. The resultant music is atmospheric, multi-layered and often somber. Aleks has titled his album “A Quiet Life Up North”, and Ben has titled his “The Gentle Northern Wind”. They have co-written one song which appears on both albums, albeit with a different title, lyrics and production. Whilst each album is a complete package, written and performed independently by Aleks and Ben respectively, they are both ‘Indians to Heaven” albums. “A Quiet Life Up North” is a pastoral celebration of life in Ascot
