유러피언 메틀코어의 제왕 ‘HEAVEN SHALL BURN "헤븐 섈 번"’의 최신작 'ICONOCLAST "PART 1: THE FINAL RESISTANCE"'‘ICONOCLAST "인습타파주의자"’라는 의미심장한 슬로건을 내걸고 2008년 벽두에 공개된 헤븐 섈 번"HEAVEN SHALL BURN"의 다섯 번째 정규 앨범 [ICONOCLAST "PART 1: THE FINAL RESISTANCE"]는 하드코어와 익스트림 메틀을 재정의한 그들의 노고가 깃든 혁신적인 작품이다. 헤븐 섈 번은 초기 유러피언 올드스쿨 데쓰메틀의 선구자인 볼트 쓰로워"BOLT THROWER"와 모던 데쓰메틀/그라인드코어의 기념비로 평가받는 카르카스"CARCASS", 스웨디시 멜로딕 데쓰메틀의 기수인 앳 더 게이츠"AT THE GATES", 그리고 스트레이트 엣지의 선구자 어쓰 크라이시스"EARTH CRISIS"를 완벽하게 결합하는데 성공했다는 평가를 받고 있다. 헤븐 섈 번의 음악은 하드코어 지지자들과 모든 종류의 익스트림 메틀 매니아들에게 어필할 수 있는 강렬함을 무기로 내세운다. 고통스럽고 무자비한 리듬라인과 아름다운 멜로디의 트윈기타가 빚어내는 강렬함은 그들이 대단한 실력파 밴드라는 걸 각성시켜준다. 그들의 음악이 설득력 있게 다가오는 것도 그런 뛰어난 멜로디 메이킹 능력에서 비롯된다. 헤븐 섈 번은 2004년에 발표한 세 번째 앨범 [ANTIGONE]에서 멜로딕 데쓰메틀 적인 연주방식을 대폭적으로 수용했고, 한편으로는 멜로딕 메틀코어라는 헤비뮤직의 트렌드에 일정부분 부합하면서 사운드의 변신을 꾀했는데, 결과는 전 세계 메틀 커뮤니티에서 매니아들의 폭발적인 지지로 이어졌다. 유럽 메틀코어의 최강자라는 수식어에 걸맞은 밴드로 거듭난 것이다. 애상적인 연주곡과 미드템포의 멜로디컬한 연주를 혼용하는 연주는 여타의 멜로딕 데쓰메틀과 조류를 달리하는 개성적인 방식이었다. 국내에서도 [ANTIGONE]와 [DEAF TO OUR PRAYERS]가 연이어 라이센스되면서 이들의 이름을 모르는 익스트림 메틀 팬들은 거의 없을 정도이다. ‘THE FINAL RESISTANCE’ 라는 다소 비장한 이름의 부제를 달고 있는 [ICONOCLAST]는 종교적 맹신을 거부하는 헤븐 섈 번의 통산 다섯 번째 정규앨범이다. .... ....

forlorn skies their blank eyes stare into forlorn sky disgraceful figures stumble through the mist sons of their nations, lost generations a tragedy beyond imagination
burnt by the sun drowned in the rain buried alive in this cold scortched earth
no glory left to find they all have met their demons they all have stopped to cry we're dying for no reason forlorn skies we're dying for no reason
the day they marched into the abyss wantoness and confidence affended us anf flowes blazoned our doom we lost our dreams
these weathered hearts are waiting for the end those who return, will never leave this hell again
a merciless horizon does not promise any hope father versus farther brother against brother a tomb for all humanity
no glory left to find they all have met their demons they all have stopped to cry we're dying for no reason forlorn skies we're dying for no reason
These silent days and restless nights Are passing by, passing by like never ending years What is left for me to keep me bearing up against this pain Buried deep inside, inside my soul
And all that's left are my memories These pictures of unworried days But no one's there to save my legacy It will just perish fade with me Fade with me
No one awaits me, nothing diverts me This withered body is no empty shell A dying Ember
There is my god to carry me But in this world, I needed you
No one awaits me, nothing diverts me This withered body is no empty shell And my bright eyes still realize your apathy My heart beats strong, it still beats strong
There is my god to carry me
But in this world, I needed you
What is left for me to keep me bearing up against this pain There is no god to ease this pain
No one awaits me, nothing diverts me This withered body is no empty shell And my bright eyes still realize your apathy My heart beats strong, it still beats strong
Nothing to live for Nothing to fight for And emptiness fulfills my live Emptiness fulfills my live
All my hope, A dying Ember
Nothing to live for Nothing to fight for And emptiness fulfills my live Just promise me, promise me to hold my hand

A nation reborn Reborn into a new world Waken from the dark eras Ruins of an insane dream still cast their shadows And demons from the past still walk among us
An age that bore no heroes
No answers to the few who raised their questions Just like a poison, silence killed the truth
A quest for resistance You're searching for an easy truth But you betrayed them, they could not trust you
As you marched in lines and circles As you held your flags up high They had no where to run to Your heroes, they could not dare not trust you
But the courage you're reclaiming, it died a bitter death with them No one here and no one there, no one heard them calling
> For years we hide in blackness We have to sink into oblivion This agony of fear absorbs my thinking This anguish suffocates my soul I saw countless acts of treason Once this heart was filled with force and comfort But now there's nothing anymore The home I knew has crumbled into dust I know so many of these ruins I watch it burn, my fatherland To blood red skies I pray Impatiently I wait, I'm waiting for the end As I hail the bombs of my saviours As I'm craving for the sirens wailing To leave this cell to cross the night As they crawl into their bunkers As they hide away and shake with fear I watch it burn, my fatherland To blood red skies I pray Impatiently I wait, I'm waiting for the end As I hail the bombs of my saviours At last I dare to raise my eyes and whisper I fill my lungs with life again Walking empty streets and orphaned quarters A shine like daylight in the night I watch it burn, my fatherland To blood red skies I pray Impatiently I wait, I'm waiting for the end As I hail the bombs of my saviours
They walked and walk among us And carry on their vile convictions Education is prevention This is our struggle, this is our strife
We took just a fight We were saved and accepted this endeavor To open eyes, enforce memento, to awake remembrance It didn't start with carnage Demolition of all human rights
Against all lies And versus their oblivion There will be justice, despite all unconcern We will find them, for all this apathy Against all lies we seek for justice We seek for justice not revenge
No one will stop us, nothing they can do Blunt trueness will be told And we will make it heard
Against all lies We'll make them face their felony Against all lies They will meet responsibility
