Heaven Shall Burn

On this fifth full-length, European metalcore mavens Heaven Shall Burn add more atmospheric sounds to their death metal/hardcore hybrid and tap the epic market of concept albums. With every song rooted in a story of iconoclasts -- the warriors sent to avenge the death of God -- the heavy subject matter, matched with crushing double bass, embittered vocals, pummeling riffage and the occasional piano and string interludes, makes for a sonic adventure in angered brutality.
