Once upon a time in Thuringia (Germany)...some young lads decided to start a band as they felt united by the same passion for metal, hardcore, and punk, and were looking for a way to voice their strong political beliefs and social criticism! This was the beginning of Germany"s most successful modern metal act HEAVEN SHALL BURN who celebrated a meteoric rise during the past years culminating in the chart success of their latest album, Iconoclast (Part One: The Final Resistance. The band"s phenomenal success story has been built upon unbelievably intense live shows worldwide, smart socially and politically aware lyrics and devastating songs uniting influences from Bolt Thrower and At The Gates with a strong hardcore ethic. Now the time has come to build upon this foundation and take their vision to all together new extremes with the release of Invictus, the band"s most focused attack to date.
