Heaven Shall Burn announce new album ‘Of Truth and Sacrifice’

HEAVEN SHALL BURN have announced a new album!

Titled Of Truth and Sacrifice, the upcoming album from the German metallers follows 2016’s Wanderer and is scheduled to be released in March next year. The upcoming album will be a double-album.

Instead of getting stuck in the ever grueling cycle of studio recordings, album release and playing live, HEAVEN SHALL BURN allowed themselves a well-deserved break. While taking the time off the band the individual members could recharge their batteries and gather new influences and ideas. Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Maik Weichert says, “we decided that one album wasn’t good enough, but we wanted to create a double album as a statement. Our goal was a total work of art that people could dive into, something that leaves a lot of room for surprises and experiments. It was only fair to give our fans twice as much after letting them wait for so long.”

Conceptually the album is split into two halves: Of Truth and Of Sacrifice. Weichert continues, “the title is exploring the idea of truth and the question what kind of sacrifices you are willing to make for it. Something reflected in the artwork: A warrioress is shielding her child with her own body. While the mother is representing the willingness to sacrifice the child is standing for truth. It’s a title that refers to numerous current developments: people’s blindness in daily life and the unwillingness to make any sacrifices in order to bring about change. Still, there are many people in this world who do exactly this: teachers in Africa risking their lives in order to be able to educate children, journalists and whistleblowers who are putting their own safety at risk in order to flag things going wrong.”
