Heaven Shall Burn - Veto

So I haven't really followed these guys as of lately.  I became a HSB fan when discovering Caliban and a slew of European metal bands that have resonated deep within North American metal culture.  I also had the chance to check out their live performance back in April, 2008 when they rocked out at The Annex Wreckroom.  Long story short, smallest venue for some wicked 'walls of death' or as I like to refer to it as 'Braveheart-ing it'!

Very much a die hard fan of their LP "Iconoclast" and heir first single "Endzeit", I am eager to hear what they have in store for the upcoming release "Veto", which will be released via Century Media Records on the following dates:

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway: April 19 

Rest Of Europe: April 22

Australia, New Zealand, Finland: April 26

USA, Canada: April 30

“It as an icon regarding the fight for social justice. The image also represents a contemporary issue: i.e. today’s leading class being isolated from the people and the conflicts arising from that. It is also a great way to show our fans how current problems and topics can be reflected and derived from historical artworks." -Maik Weichert

So far, only one single has been released (not official so chances are it'll get shut down soon).  Check out the single "Last of the Upright Ones":



"The song is dedicated to Thomas Sankara, a relatively unknown revolutionary whose fate is closely linked to Burkina Faso which can be translated to 'Land of upright/honest people' or 'Land of honest people.' It's a very heavy track." -Weichert



To celebrate the release of "Veto", HEAVEN SHALL BURN will play three exclusive release shows in Europe:
