"Heaven's on Fire" is a song by the American hard rock band Kiss, first released on their 1984 album "Animalize". Written by vocalist/guitarist Paul Stanley and songwriter Desmond Child, "Heaven's on Fire" was the first single released off of the album. [ [http://www.kissfaq.com/singles/usa/singles_usa.html KISS singles history] ]

Released as a single internationally in 1984, "Heaven's on Fire" charted in several countries, even though it failed to reach the Top Ten in any of the countries where it was released as a single. [ [http://www.kissfaq.com/charts/scharts.html International Chart History] ] However, it has the distinction of being one of the only songs from the bands' non-makeup era that is still regularly performed live.

A video for the single was filmed and played on MTV, and was directed by David Lewis and produced by John Weaver. [ [http://www.kissfaq.com/video/concept.html KISS Video Information] ] It marked the only official promotional performance of the band with lead guitarist Mark St. John before he left the group due to problems in his hands caused by a painful, but temporary, form of arthritis called Reiter's Syndrome. He would be replaced by Bruce Kulick shortly afterwards.

A live version of the song was recorded at Cobo Hall on December 8, 1984 as part of the "Kiss: Animalize Live Uncensored" video [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiss_filmography] and was later released on the on the Hear 'n Aid album. It is one of only two live tracks with longtime drummer Eric Carr that Kiss has ever officially released. [http://www.kissfaq.com/discography/hearnaid.html]
