German metalcore icons Heaven Shall Burn have dropped a new single ‘Empowerment’ off their upcoming record. ‘Heimet’ drops June 27th off Century Media. Now if only the band would do a US tour.
The band comments, “With this song, we want to make it clear that anger and aggression in the face of the many present problems, even if they are completely justified, should not lead to pointless discussions, self-destructive frustration, and fights on irrelevant second arenas. It is much more important to gather your strength and transform your energy into a positive and progressive drive that can motivate others to join in and make a difference! If you want to change something, start with yourself! The old men in power don’t fear the backward-looking, grumbling ones at the dimly lit regulars’ reserved table, but the good and progressive ideas of people walking the streets together under bright sunshine in the spring.”
Guitarist Maik Weichert comments, “Heimat is not meant as the narrow-minded end point in the sense it has been used by agitators and populists, but the starting point for observations and perspectives. The album is about a much wider sense of the term ‘Heimat’: The homelands for many different people and also about the spiritual home, something that shapes and determines our thoughts and actions.”
