Bruce Hammond Earlam and Douglas Wilgrove, also better known as Bruce & Bongo have known it in 1986 and thus clairvoyant abilities proved: Geil. No other word is more true than this. "Invictus", which meanwhile sixth studio album by HEAVEN SHALL BURN, convinced namely to every nook and cranny. Tradition-conscious friends of Thuringia offers the band again a highly explosive mixture of Death and Thrash Metal with melodic hooks and hardcore elements, and increases as a novelty sometimes even in black metallic climes or stunned with enhanced electronic gadgetry such as in advance of MySpace published "Combat". Every single song is rolling extremely bold and enormous ears, until the German sung chorus of "The Lie You Bleed For" goes to the bone and can loudly shout to the world: "You are not free." As a surprise at the end ensures Sabine Weniger (DEADLOCK) in almost classical melodic chorus of "Given In Death", an eerie emotional and for the band musically unusual song that deals with the topic euthanasia and the Church's position on this, for several meters thick goose bumps. "Invictus" is without doubt the most varied and impressive album from HEAVEN SHALL BURN.
