Guitarists Maik Reichert and Alexander Dietz continue to heave incredible riffs with impeccable melodies. As soon as instrumental “March of Retribution” bleeds into the monstrous “Thoughts and Prayers,” all the key components are still there.
Just like with nü-metal, metalcore often gets a bad rap, but bands like Heaven Shall Burn showcase that even the most maligned of genres can produce some incredible music, and on their ninth album, they spread their rage over the course of a nineteen-song double-album.Īnd if disc one, Of Truth, was any indicator, Of Truth & Sacrifice would easily be one of Heaven Shall Burn’s best albums to date, as the four year gap between this double-album and Wanderer sees them recharged. There’s enough anger to go around to power a small nation, and very few metalcore bands channel that anger as effectively as Heaven Shall Burn. Between the United States being heavily divided to the point where people within their own political wheelhouses are fighting with each other, political tensions throughout the world where another war could erupt practically any minute, and now COVID-19 wrecking havoc on our daily lives, it’s not an easy time for anybody.
We’re currently living in some batshit crazy times, friends.
