Go straight to www.myspace.com/officialheavenshallburn in order to check out the first song “The Omen” off their upcoming album “Invictus” on their redesigned myspace. Maik Weichert (guitars): “There is some exciting new stuff happening on “Invictus”, but to make sure that everybody understands that it is still 100% HSB we picked “The Omen” that we wanted you to check out! I am positive that we’ll have a lot of fun screaming the lyrics together live!”HEAVEN SHALL BURN even added the intro to the album and “The Omen” in order to give you the full flavour of the opening track of “Invictus”. As on their previous albums the Icelandic composer and friend Ólafur Arnalds did the aforementioned atmospheric intro as well as the outro of the album. However, the highly emotional duet “Given In Death” that is featuring Sabine Weniger from Deadlock on vocals and Sebastian Reichl on guitars will certainly come as a slight surprise.
Maik on “Given In Death”: “The topic this song is about is a very sensitive one (mercy killing) and Sabine’s voice just goes along so well with the feeling we tried to create for this piece. It was a pleasure working together with such a talented band as Deadlock.” Still, no fan that is into their heavy and majestic riffs that are influenced by Scandinavian metal will be disappointed and can indulge themselves in songs such as “The Omen”, “Buried In Forgotten Grounds” or “Return To Sanity”.
“Invictus“ [the full title of which is “Invictus” (Iconoclast III)] was recorded at Tue Madsen’s Antfarm Studio in Aarhus, Denmark. Again, the album was produced by the two guitarists Alexander Dietz and Weichert. “Invictus” will be out on the following dates:
