HEAVEN SHALL BURN Guitarist Launches ERODE

April 29, 2009

Guitarist Alexander Dietz of Germany's death metal and hardcore fusionists HEAVEN SHALL BURN has launched a solo project called ERODE. He says, "I had the idea for ERODE a long time ago. I always wanted to create atmospheres and soundscapes that are far away from guitars and the 'real' sound I normally go for. ERODE gives birth to a sound that carries you out of your real world for a while and takes you on a journey to the different worlds I am creating, building my own little empires. For me, ERODE is a possibility to be creative without boundaries or limitations and to make those silent sounds and thoughts within and around me audible."

HEAVEN SHALL BURN has set "Bildersturm – Iconoclast II (The Visual Resistance)" as the title of its first DVD, which will be available in three different formats, one of them being a limited and very special edition three-disc box-set. A late May release via Century Media Records is expected.

Commented guitarist Maik Weichert: "Since we could not decide which of the two shows to use on this DVD, we decided to include both of them! The show at Summer Breeze festival last year and the one in Vienna [on September 12, 2008] were just equally incredible and watching them still gives us goose bumps!"

In addition to the live footage, the DVD will include a comprehensive documentary about HEAVEN SHALL BURN and loads of additional content, details of which will be announced soon.

"Iconoclast" entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 21. Artist extraordinaire an up-and-coming visionary for cutting-edge art Bastian Sobtzick created the artwork for the CD.
