Apart from releasing their cover of TRIVIUM’s “Pillars Of Serpents” at the end of 2022 HEAVEN SHALL BURN haven’t made any new music available since the release of their highly successful album “Of Truth And Sacrifice” that entered the Official German Album Charts at #1, Austria at #4 and Switzerland at #6.
This is about to change, because it is finally time to unveil a special project that is unique to the sound of the band and also their commentary to the current political climate, “Keinen Schritt Zurück” a track and video that is featuring their longtime friends in the renown German alternative / punk rock band DONOTS.
The video was directed by their longtime videographer Philipp Hirsch together with guitarist and audio producer Alexander Dietz for Philipp Hirsch Films & The Dude Ranch – Music Film Graphics.
Maik Weichert (guitar) comments:
“At a first glance HEAVEN SHALL BURN and DONOTS do not sound very compatible. However, we are on the same page when it comes to our underlying taste in music, attitude and political stance, so it is not surprising that the bands have been friends for a long time. We have been discussing doing a song together forever and it was finally time to get serious about it. It was very important to us that this wouldn’t be some kind of sterile guest musician appearance, but that both bands would really operate at eye level and shape the song. We think the result is really something special, as it differs considerably from the bands’ respective sounds without being completely wacky. It was an exciting and rewarding experiment for all of us, and we’re extremely excited to see how it goes down with the people out there. Aside from the music the lyrics are very important to us. We hope that many people can identify with them as much as we do!”
