CD Review: Heaven Shall Burn - Deaf To Our Prayers
Artist: Heaven Shall Burn
Album: Deaf To Our Prayers
Label: Century Media
Matthias Voigt - Drums, Maik Weichert - Guitars, Eric Bischoff - Bass, Alexander Dietz - Guitars, Marcus Bischoff - Vocals
Hail Satan! That is all I would say if I were announcing to a crowd that Marcus Bischoff were entering a room. He is without a doubt my favorite lead throat since I first heard Tim Williams many moons ago. Bischoff is what makes this band. It is scorching vocals, that I could envision spewing out of Satan's chapped lipped mouth, that make this band. Poor bastard could be the most religious person in the world, but there is no way any church choir would allow this diabolical voice within it's refined walls. He is simply nasty.
It is when you get to his mind that you really blow your mind, try on these lyrics and you tell me if he is not a tortured soul?
Trespassing The Shores Of Your World
Blood trickles away in the sand
All hope crushed, perished in the border fences of a secure stronghold
We crossed this lost world, so much distress we have seen
The home we left behind, it offered nothing but despair
Under the veil of darkness we marched for endless years
Beyond the silver bright horizon a brave new world exists
Trespassing the shores of your world,
Piles of dead bodies at the walls of Fortress Europe
Cast a shadow on your paradise
Oblivion and apathy will keep you warm
A continent beyond recovery
Like dark invaders they receive us
A gaping wound in the flesh of this earth;
A bleeding they refused to staunch
Of No Avail
Skywards,
The prayers we sent, of no avail
No fear of death will walk among us
Almost too limb to throw the stones
Marching into darkness,
Bowed down with grief and marked by enslavement
All the prayers we sent, of no avail
They went unheard
Of no avail, the lives we gave
Our weakened legs and tattered shoes
Will cause no sound on icy streets
Almost too weak to cry out the spell
His servants won't slow down our steps
Blood red will be those streets and burning castles will leave
Cursed be the god who was deaf to our prayers!!!
Cursed be the god who was deaf to us!!!
As we died in freedom their machines broke down for a day.
Musically the band has no need for solos. If anything the bands technical annihilation is plenty fast enough to accompany Bischoff's insanity. Like thrash? HSB is for you. Like death metal…HSB will do you well. Mad at the planet, HSB is also for you!
This is not for the light hearted. Heavy lyrical content, incredible musicianship, and pure anger. Only true metal heads welcome here. Also, if you have a history of mental illness, Heaven Shall Burn could stir some bad emotions….so please do the world a favor and pass.
