History Music / HeavenShallBurn

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to most {{Metalcore}} and MelodicDeathMetal bands, as their sound borrows a lot from classic "deathgrind" bands like Music/{{Terrorizer}} and early Bolt Thrower.

* CarefulWithThatAxe: Marcus does this to maximum effect pretty much all the time, especially in many of their notable songs like "Endzeit" and "Combat", so much so that his voice was actually shot for a while.

** BreakTheCutie: Sadly, a very real life example as the lyrics are from the point of view of said children soldiers.

* ReligionRantSong: Despite the band's name, most of their songs avert this, although there are a few like "Biogenesis (Undo Creation)" and "Against All Lies" that do criticize organized religion directly.

They would then independently release a debut EP entitled "In Battle There Is No Law" in 1998, named after Music/BoltThrower's first album. They were soon signed to Lifeforce records in 2000 and released their debut full-length, followed by a sopohmore effort in 2002, which also came repackaged with the EP.

* ReligionRantSong: Despite the band's name, most of their songs avert this, although there are a few like "Biogenesis (Undo Creation)" that do criticize organized religion directly.

Heaven Shall Burn are a German MelodicDeathMetal band forming in 1996.

Originally starting under the name Consense, they changed their name in 1997, after inspiration from the Music/{{Marduk}} album, but despite this, they are not an anti-religion band. They release their EP entitled "In Battle There Is No Law" in 1998, named after the Music/BoltThrower album. In 2000, their debut was release on Lifeforce records, followed by a sopohmore effort in 2002, which also came repackaged with the EP.

They signed up onto Century Media for ''Deaf to Our Prayers''. In February 2008, Iconoclast (Part One: The Final Resistance) was released. The album lyrically reviews subjects such as Laicism, Nietzsche's “God is dead” philosophy, heroes of the German Resistance in World War II, and their country's ongoing struggle to reconcile with its past.

In 2013, ''Veto'' was released, finally ending their decade long streak of releasing albums bi-annually.

* Marcus Bischoff – vocals (1996–present)
* Maik Weichert – guitar (1996–present)

* Eric Bischoff – bass (1996–present)
* Matthias Voigt – drums (1996–present)

!!This band displays the examples of the following:

* AllGermansAreNazis: This concept is attacked, ''Iconoclast'' even had songs based on the German Resistance of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.

* CarefulWithThatAxe: Done to maximum effect in many of their notable songs, most notably in "Endzeit" and "Combat"
* ChildSoldiers: What we see in "Combat".
** BreakTheCutie: Sadly, a very real life example as the lyrics take the point of view from said children soldiers.
* ConceptAlbum: Started with ''Iconoclast'', ended with ''Invictus''

* DarkerAndEdgier: Compared to most {{Metalcore}} and MelodicDeathMetal bands.
* EpicRocking: "Hunters Will Be Hunted", which is exactly 6 minutes long.

* GreenAesop: They ARE vegans, after all.

* MelodicDeathMetal
* {{Metalcore}}: A far heavier example than most.
* MetalScream: Marcus's vocals are mostly recognized by his angry, pterodactyl-like screams.
* ReligionRantSong: Considering their name, this is averted. Their lyrics are actually vegan/anti-fascist in nature.
* SopranoAndGravel: Marcus ''has'' done clean vocals, but only once on "Implore the Darken Sky (classic version)". Most of the time, he usually does the MetalScream with the occasional death vox.

* WarIsHell: The music video for "Combat" is just an example.

Originally starting under the name Consense, they changed their name in 1997, after inspiration from the Music/{{Marduk}} album, but despite this, they do not condone anti-religion. They release their EP entitled "In Battle There Is No Law" in 1998, named after the Music/BoltThrower album. In 2000, their debut was release on Lifeforce records, followed by a sopohmore effort in 2002, which also came repackaged with the EP.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Standard 10 at the hardest, solid 9 at the softest.

* WarIsHell: The music video for "Combat" is just an example.

* CoverVersion: "Valhalla" by Music/BlindGuardian, "The [=IV=]th Crusade" by Music/BoltThrower, "Black Tears" by Edge of Sanity, and "Whatever That Hurts" by Music/{{Tiamat}} are just a small list.
