Heaven Shall Burn have released their new double album “Of Truth & Sacrifice“. The albums will release in the spring of 2020. They also revealed the tracklisting and artwork done by Eliran Kantor. The band’s guitarist, Maik Weichert had the following comments regarding the decision to release a double album:
“We decided that one album wasn’t 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.”
Weichert elaborated on the double album’s concept:
“The title is exploring the idea of truth and the question what kind of sacrifices you are willing to make for it. Something 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.”
“It’s a title that refers to numerous current developments: people’s blindness in daily life and the unwillingness to make any sacrifices in order to bring about change. Still, 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.”
The band had Sven Helbig and Wilhelm Keitel to help flesh out the album with strings on the effort.
A 90-minute documentary titled ‘Mein grünes Herz in dunklen Zeiten‘ (‘My Green Heart In Dark Times‘) will also be included with limited edition variants.
