Heaven Shall Burn - Iconoclast

As this band were new to me and Im guesing there new to you heres some information about Heaven Shall Burn.
They are a metalcore/death metal band from Saalfeld Germany and currently have 6 abums to date...All the members are vegan.

Iconoclast is there latest album and what an album it is.
The opening track could be played in a concert hall with such classics as vivaldi's four seasons soAwoken isnt exactly a hard hitting opener. But, the second track makes up for it...Endzeit is possibly one of the best songs I have heard all year, It has everything you could possibly wanted crammed into 4:17 of pure violence...Bliss.
Practically all other tracks are top notch as the lead singers vocals seem to transform the simplest of guitar riffs into something all the more powerfull and sinister, Although Murderers of the murderers is another standout track with what sounds like the drums from some shady club song blended into a metal masterpeice and if when you think of club and metal being combined you think of Enter Shikari this is far from that.

Also try: As Blood Runs Black,Threat Signal.

7/10
