A mighty sin

I decided i would do a little write up on one of my favourite hardcore/thrash/deathmetal outfits of late, Heaven Shall Burn.

Photobucket

They hail from Germany and make up one portion of a brutal group of european death/thrash metal bands. Their lyrics are based upon a mixture of anti-racism, social justice and anti-religious portrayed in a manner of aggression. The view of religion held by the band is quite appealing to myself as i find christianity/catholicism sickening.

From reading their biography, i discovered that their name is basically making fun of the artificial heaven people create within their minds to block the truth surrounding them.

Notable lyrics include;
'Loosing touch with reality
In your world of plenty it's also easy to preach love
Holier than thou, your order that shall rule
Yet, at the walls of your cathedrals poor sinners starve to death'


'insignia of doubtful unions
an untruth factory, the Jesus industry'


'born in a factory
cold steel machineries
and driven by this greed - you're breeding this disease
infected by this deadness - you're breeding this disease'


Below is a video of 'Endzeit' performed live and off the album 'Iconoclast' which you will be interested to know is someone who performs iconoclasm — destruction of religious symbols, or, by extension, established dogma or conventions. Definitely a gnarly vibe going on around the place, maybe this song should have been used to diverge the god damn hippies
