Heaven Shall Burn

The German metalcore instance with political aspirations

Heaven Shall Burn is a German metalcore band from Saalfeld, which was founded in 1996 and has since been recognised as one of the most influential forces in European metal. Known for their powerful riffs, aggressive shouts and melodic elements, the band combines uncompromising heaviness with catchy melodies and socially critical lyrics. They stand for political commitment, often thematising social injustice, war, environmental destruction and human rights, thereby giving their music a clear message.

With albums like Antigone, Iconoclast or Of Truth and Sacrifice Heaven Shall Burn have gained international attention and built up a loyal fan base. The combination of brute energy, technically demanding guitar parts and catchy melodies makes their songs unmistakable anthems of modern metalcore. Tracks like "Voice of the Voiceless" or "Endzeit" are prime examples of their uncompromising style.

Heaven Shall Burn are an absolute force live: Their shows are characterised by pure energy, precise performance and an intense connection with the audience. With over two decades of experience, they have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the international metal scene, inspiring fans with their musical passion and political awareness in equal measure.
