"Long Way to Heaven" is the third studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Helix. This album was their third for Capitol Records, and there were big expectations from the band after the phenomenal success of the previous "Walkin' the Razor's Edge" and the hit song, "Rock You". The first single was the song "Deep Cuts the Knife", a co-write between Paul Hackman and Bob Halligan, Jr. The song received heavy airplay in the U.S., gaining "double breaker" status, and in Canada was added to heavy video play on MuchMusic. Q107 in Toronto had the song riding at #1 for several weeks on their "Top Ten at Ten". Their first tour to kick off the album was in Sweden where they became the first Canadian rock band ever to tour that country extensively. For this they achieved their first #1 album in that country.

Returning to North America they ended up on tour with Accept and Keel, as well as playing many headline dates ourselves and odd one-off dates with everybody from Meat Loaf to Heart. The second song released from the album was "The Kids Are all Shakin'", a song inspired by a fan letter from Poland. The album went platinum in Canada and they headlined their first Canadian tour with the Headpins as the supporting act. The Long Way To Heaven album was released for the first time on CD in September, 1999. [ [http://www.planethelix.com/Albums/Album05.htm Official Helix Site] ]
