“Vivus" is our first-ever live album, capturing the band at full power during the Terra Tour in the summer of 2025.
Recorded at the legendary Cart & Horses in London — the birthplace of Iron Maiden — Vivus documents a night of raw energy, virtuosic musicianship and immersive progressive storytelling. This is the band in their natural environment: live, loud and uncompromising.
The setlist places the acclaimed double album Terra Nova firmly at its heart, while reaching deep into the HeKz catalogue for live favourites and rarities from Tabula Rasa, Caerus and Invicta.
Adding another dimension to the performance is the appearance of Jonny Gibson-Smith on keyboards, whose contribution brings additional depth, colour and fire to the band's already expansive sound.
Vivus is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in the HeKz story — a celebration of where the band had come from, where they stood in 2025, and the exciting journey still ahead.

Vinyl aficionados can pre-order "Vivus" on LP directly from Elastic Stage, a press on-demand vinyl service that allows artists to get their music out on vinyl without the huge upfront cost. At present, they do not have an option for double LPs, so we've split "Vivus" into Parts One & Two in order to preserve the full tracklisting.
