Bull of Heaven is an experimental drone, noise and avant-garde group formed in Denver, Colorado. The band originally consisted of Clayton Counts and Neil Keener, with help from various contributors.

There are elements of spoken word, post-rock, harsh noise, modern classical, drone doom, and many more throughout the band's discography. Both key members behind Bull of Heaven started with a variety of earlier projects. Neil Keener was (and in some cases, still is) involved with several punk rock and post-hardcore bands, including Planes Mistaken for Stars, Git Some, Red Cloud West, and Wovenhand.
