German metalcore group Heaven Shall Burn have filmed a music video for the track \u2018\u00dcbermacht\u2019. Directed by Philipp Hirsch, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the video, guitarist Maik Weichert said: \u201cFor our conditions it is an unusual video for an unusual Heaven Shall Burn song and was lots of fun to shoot. \u2018\u00dcbermacht\u2019 is one of our favourite songs off the album and we are thrilled to hear what you think of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heaven Shall Burn issued ninth full-length studio album Of Truth And Sacrifice<\/em> on March 20th, 2020 through Century Media Records.<\/p>\n

Weichert commented: \u201cWe decided that one album wasn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conceptually the album is split into two halves: Of Truth<\/em> and Of Sacrifice<\/em>. \u201cThe title is exploring the idea of truth and the question what kind of sacrifices you are willing to make for it,\u201d Weichert elaborated. \u201cSomething 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.\u201d <\/p>\n

Cover artwork duties fell to Eliran Kantor, the artwork being a triptych showing the mother as a child and her son as a grown up. \u201cIt\u2019s a title that refers to numerous current developments: people\u2019s blindness in daily life and the unwillingness to make any sacrifices in order to bring about change,\u201d said Weichert. \u201cStill, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strings were recorded with conductor Wilhelm Keitel in Minsk. <\/p>\n

Limited edition versions of Of Truth And Sacrifice<\/em> include the 90-minute documentary Mein gr\u00fcnes Herz in dunklen Zeiten<\/em> (English translation: \u2018My Green Heart In Dark Times\u2019), produced by Ingo Schmoll.<\/p>\n

Directed by Philipp Hirsch, connected music videos were filmed for the tracks \u2018Protector\u2019 and \u2018Weakness Leaving My Heart\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to reflect the concept of the double album we decided to produce a \u2018double video\u2019 which turned into a real mammoth project,\u201d Weichert explained. \u201c\u2018Protector\u2019 is taken from album one (Of Truth<\/em>) while \u2018Weakness Leaving My Heart\u2019 is part of album two (Of Sacrifice<\/em>). While \u2018Protector\u2019 represents confidence and a readiness for action \u2018Weakness Leaving My Heart\u2019 is contemplative and deals with the sacrifices and losses that truth may cost. Something you should also feel from the different vibes of the songs. The double album is giving you the essence of what HSB is about and there is lots to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Music videos were also released for the songs \u2018My Heart And The Ocean\u2019 and \u2018Eradicate\u2019. Both clips can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Eighth studio record Wanderer<\/em> was released in September 2016 via Century Media.<\/p>\n
