Heaven Shall Burn - Iconoclast (Part 1: The Final Resistance)
These crucial Germany Hardcore act, was mentioned as the first to be known as the most perfect band who break the border that stand between Hardcore and Death Metal. And this "Iconoclast" CD was their last known release in 2008 under well known Metal label : Century Media. This CD is a decent offering which mixes hardcore and metal influences quite well. In my opinion, it's much better than the standard metalcore fare you hear these days. And at 58 minutes, it's a good bargain. Contains 14 tracks, this album was a truly rip-snortin' & brutal collection of melodic death metal, thrash, and hardcore. Yes, it's a damn heavy album, extreme on all fronts, but these guys are so melodic every step of the way it makes for a perfect balance. The guitars are nice and crunchy with plenty of mosh-worthy riffs and breakdowns, brutal, sledgehammer drum work, and the deliciously evil growls of Marcus Bischoff.
If you look at the lyrics they fill the criterias for being Hardcore with lyrics about politics, induvidual freedom and war, "problems of the society" you may call it. This album is a well produced for all of you who are into the healthy mixed of Hardcore and Death Metal. Propably, people nowadays would call it Deathcore? Whatever.. Just enjoy!
