Heaven Shall Burn
Whatever It May Take (Lifeforce)
by Adrian Bromley
One of my pals who’s always been good with short, concise descriptions said that Germany’s Heaven Shall Burn sounds like a cross between Britain’s veteran grindcore act, Bolt Thrower, and the adventurous hardcore/noisecore of Shai Halud. With a detonating, almost catastrophic metallic groove, Heaven Shall Burn rides a wave of distorted mayhem and reckless visions, never giving the listener time to take a deep breath as the world comes down upon them. One of the best of 2002!
