Heaven Below’s concept album Good Morning Apocalypse (2016):
"Not only 4 legendary guest singers, several voice TV/film actors, Choral choirs, but an additional guest on the album is the operatic soprano Mary Whitman. Many of you know Mary’s voice from her appearance on Devil Drivers hit cover of “Sail”. Not only does Mary front many of the choir arrangements on Good Morning Apocalypse, but she is a featured soloist on the track “Among The Wolves/Worlwide Suicide.” Thank you Mary Whitman for allowing this album to reach the ambitious heights that we were seeking.”

“. . .vocals from Kennison, whose coarseness is softened at times by duetting with the female guest singers and also, the surprise element of this album maybe, the operatic talents of Mary Whitman, giving the band, at times, an almost Nightwish / Within Temptation feel about them.”

“Udo Dirkschneider is a cool addition to “Black Sunrise/War of the Gods”, and “Among the Wolves/Worldwide Suicide” is an almost cathartic release of the emotions that are channeled through this mini movie that is playing as the album plays. The beautifully operatic voice of Mary Whitman shines through on this track, without being overpowering, and that is what makes it perfect.”

“A similar switch is in Among The Wolves / Worldwide Suicide where a soprano [Mary Whitman] will disturb the order of the day to lift the song to another level.”

“. . . the beautiful melodies of female voice . . . intertwined with aggressive Fafara exclamations; its place is then taken by the female voice (provided by Mary Whitman)
