Heaven Shall Burn

The Profile

Heaven Shall Burn is a German metalcore/melodic death metal band formed in 1996 in Thuringia, known for a powerful blend of Scandinavian-influenced riffing and hardcore intensity, and for socially and politically charged themes.

Signed to Century Media Records; the Iconoclast/Invictus cycle cemented their international profile; Of Truth & Sacrifice debuted at No. 1 on the German Albums Chart in 2020.

Two fervent DeBaser reviews salute Heaven Shall Burn’s ferocity and personality. Iconoclast (Part 1) is praised as a crushing, concept-driven onslaught with standout tracks like Endzeit, taut production, and a Wacken 2007 bonus. Whatever It May Take is framed as a genre-defining milestone, blending Swedish melodeath riffing with hardcore bite and constant dynamic shifts. Across both, the band’s identity, power, and influence are front and center.
