Following their tradition of covering some of their favorite tracks by other bands while featuring original members of that band, Heaven Shall Burn are releasing “Numbered Days (feat. Jesse Leach of Killswitch Engage)”. It’s out now, accompanied by a visualizer.
The band comments:
Killswitch Engage are THE metalcore band! When we heard ’Numbered Days‘ for the very first time, it totally blew us away. It was clear that something new was brewing up. No other band has influenced this style of music more and interpreted it better. Just because the guys have been very good friends for many years doesn’t mean you can’t pay tribute to this great band. We hope the song means as much to you as it does to us!
Jesse Leach further adds:
All of us are honoured by HEAVEN SHALL BURN covering ‘Numbered Days’. That song truly kicked off an album for us that would change our lives. All these years later to have people still resonate with our music means the world to us. Now to have a band like HEAVEN SHALL BURN cover it 23 years later is really wild! Grateful and very stoked to have been a part of the reshaping of this song and to hear someone else‘s take on it!” Make sure to catch Killswitch Engage on their upcoming European tour, because “Numbered Days” isn‘t the only song from this legendary band that had a lasting impact on modern extreme music.
The band have also released news about another pending question: After they had to cancel some shows due to their singer Marcus Bischoff suffering from a severe infection of his vocal chords, they have announced that Britta Görtz from HIRAES will be filling in.
Marcus Bischoff says:
We have a plan! Britta from HIRAES will fill in for me at the upcoming shows, so tomorrow in Kufstein as well as next weekend! Give her a warm welcome, show her what HSB fans are made of and make the shows something very special in the band’s history! We are really looking forward to it! Things are already looking better for me, too! Your Molle and the HSB guys!
