Internationally recognized praise and worship band Planetshakers releases Weight of Heaven globally today (July 18) from Venture3Media (V3M). Available now at all major digital and streaming outlets via https://lnk.to/woheaven, the album will also be released as a CD by New Day Distributors and as an Apple Music Exclusive Deluxe Edition that contains music videos for all 14 songs on the recording.

Produced by Joth Hunt and recorded live by the full Planetshakers band along with the voices of thousands attending the Planetshakers Conference ‘Abundance’ 2025 events in the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) in Melbourne, Australia, Weight of Heaven is Planetshakers’ response to God’s unlimited abundance.

“We had a whole year where the songwriters were getting before the Lord, agreeing with His Word, declaring this abundance and being in His presence,” shares Pastor Sam Evans. “There were great, joyful declarations of faith as we were singing these songs. We saw so many miracles, so many breakthroughs as people latched onto His Word. It was in people's mouths, and when we moved into the conference, it was abundant. The tangible presence of the Lord was so strong, so real, so captivating. The songs became declarations, anthems for people’s personal lives.”

Along with the stories of those who attended the conference, core Planetshakers worship team members, drummer Andy Harrison and bassist Josh Ham, also received miraculous breakthroughs. Ham and his wife were not able to have children, but are now parents to a baby boy. Harrison’s daughter was suffering seizures and the doctor’s diagnosis suggested significant, long-term harm. The song “Miracle Worker” on Weight of Heaven came out of Harrison’s experience of declaring God’s Word and holding onto His abundance before he and his wife saw a remarkable, 24-hour turnaround in their little girl’s health.

In addition to “Miracle Worker,” almost every song on the new album was birthed out of a prayer meeting. On one such occasion, Hunt shares the inspiration for the title track: “We were in a prayer meeting and Pastor Russell was saying, ‘Lord, we just want the weight of heaven this week. We’re praying for that,’ and I literally just started singing ‘the weight of heaven is in this place’ straight into my phone in that prayer meeting. And that became the first line of a song. Sometimes these songs just come when you're not even really searching, but God has downloaded something.”

“Jesus came and gave us a life of abundance. Everything He did was to unlock our access to His kingdom and His ways and defeat the enemy who would want to stand in the way of our abundance,” shares Planetshakers Church Pastor Russell Evans.

In addition to the title track and “Miracle Worker,” Planetshakers’ Weight of Heaven includes the joyful songs of praise “Good Day (Live)” and “Joy of the Lord,” the worshipful, declarative “Anointed One,” and the rocking, uptempo praise celebration “Praise With Everything,” all released earlier this year.

“Bringing a fresh sound of praise and worship, declaring what God is doing, we're always going to have anthems and declarations that are full of energy and full of life,” says Hunt. “The whole purpose of us writing these songs is to encourage congregations to worship and so that people encounter God.”
