&lt;b&gt;Read on for a few international reviews of the critically acclaimed "VETO":&lt;/b&gt;
 
&lt;i&gt;"Rarely was it more entertaining to put in a 'VETO' - or play it."&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;(soundcheck #2, Metal Hammer, DE)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"Where the Thuringians turned a blind eye before they are astonishing with arrangements that are perfect down to the last detail. [...] Due to the amount of highlights it is tough to point out a particular song [...]."&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;b&gt;(Rock Hard, DE)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"When heaven is burning on 'VETO' flames are painting two massive words into the skies: freedom and truth. [...] HEAVEN SHALL BURN are varying their monstrous metal, so the draft of the soundtrack is in no way inferior to the depth of the transported thought."&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;b&gt;(Visions, DE)&lt;/b&gt;
 
&lt;i&gt;"The Thuringians are playing superb melodic Death Metal with an In Flames angle and even have a terrific cover of Blind Guardians's 'Valhalla'."&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;b&gt;(Guitar, DE)&lt;/b&gt;
 
&lt;i&gt;"As expected the Thuringians are putting in their musical and lyrical 'VETO'."&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;(Legacy, DE)&lt;/b&gt;
 
&lt;i&gt;"A whole list of surprises that are framed perfectly by the unbelievable sound."&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;b&gt;(Ox, DE)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"The only way to make something wilder than this would have been including a chainsaw in the special edition."&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;(Revolver, E)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"The band returns with their mouths full of hate and a fistful of songs that will make you forget the three long years that have passed since their last album."&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;(Rockzone, E)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"HEAVEN SHALL BURN did it again."&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;(Rock Tribune, B)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"unbelievably aggressive"&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;(Aardschok, NL)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"'VETO' could well take pride of place as THE archetypal HEAVEN SHALL BURN record, practically overflowing with passion and vigour."&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;b&gt;(nocleansinging.com)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"...one of the best metal releases in 2013 so far."&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;b&gt;(ultimateguitar.com)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"...'VETO' is just a marvel."  &lt;b&gt;(sputnikmusic.com)&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;i&gt;"An unconventional metalcore record through and through, this is one helluva ride that should not be missed."&lt;/i&gt;  &lt;b&gt;(New Noise Magazine)&lt;/b&gt;

      <title>Heaven Shall Burn: : "VETO" out in most of Europe, video for "Hunters Will Be Hunted" online</title>
      <description>In order to celebrate the release of their new album, "VETO", HEAVEN SHALL BURN  have  launched a new video for the album track "Hunters Will Be Hunted". This video-clip was produced and directed by Film-M and Philipp Hirsch, who previously made the videos for HEAVEN SHALL BURN's "Endzeit" and "Black Tears," as well as the "Bildersturm" DVD and bonus DVD for "Invictus". To watch "Hunters Will Be Hunted," please click here &lt;a href="http://youtu.be/Esi9RUWWtks" target="_blank"&gt;http://youtu.be/Esi9RUWWtks&lt;/a&gt; 

Maik Weichert (guitars) comments about the video for "Hunters Will Be Hunted": "&lt;i&gt;The topic of the video is very important to us. No matter if it's hobby hunters in our regions, tourists going hunting in Africa or the ineffable whalers that Sea Shepherd are luckily setting more and more bounds to - Theodor Heuss' (first President of the Federal Republic of Germany) words are universal: 'Hunting is merely a cowardly circumlocution for the especially cowardly murder of fellow creatures who don't have a chance. Hunting is a variant of human mental illness.' The video is a bit unusual for a metal band, but we think it is a little different and standing out against the normal stereotypes of the scene. We are really proud that we could win Denise Rombouts over for the main female role. It was great fun working with such a talented and professional model. She really taught every one of us a lesion when it came down to being tough and keep on working during an ice cold winter day.&lt;/i&gt;"

&lt;b&gt;For another preview of "VETO", be sure to check out the following previously released album tracks:&lt;/b&gt;

      <title>Heaven Shall Burn: : präsentieren "Die Stürme Rufen Dich" in Kooperation mit EMP, Infos zu Formaten</title>
      <description>In Kooperation mit EMP gibt es mit "Die Stürme Rufen Dich" einen zweiten neuen Song von HEAVEN SHALL BURNs kommenden Album "VETO" zu hören, also flink den folgenden Link aufsuchen: &lt;a href="http://www.emp.de/brand/heaven-shall-burn/lis_Heaven%20Shall%20Burn_bandbrand/" target="_blank"&gt;www.emp.de&lt;/a&gt;

Rob Franssen und Dominik Stammen von Born From Pain schauten für zusätzliche Vocals im Studio vorbei.

&lt;b&gt;"VETO" erscheint in den folgenden Formaten:&lt;/b&gt;
Ltd. Edition 3CD Box Set (streng limitiert, erhältlich nur in Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz)
Ltd. Edition 2CD
LP+CD
Standard CD Jewelcase
+ diverse digitale Formate

Obwohl das Album von Tue Madsen gemixt wurde, gibt es für Klanginteressierte einen alternativen Mix auf Vinyl und im Ltd. Edition 3CD Box Set. Maik Weichert erklärt: &lt;i&gt;"Das Vinyl und das Ltd. Edition 3CD Box Set beinhaltet den "Blizzard Over England Mix" von niemand geringerem als Colin Richardson. Die Geschichte hinter dem etwas seltsamen Namen des Mix ist recht einfach: Wir saßen auf gepackten Koffern, um für den Mix nach England zu fliegen, aber in UK herrschte totales Schneechaos, so dass keine Flüge und Züge gingen und alle Straßen so verschneit waren, dass es für uns keine Chance gab, dort anzukommen. Colin war im Studio eingeschneit und da wir nicht hinter ihm auf der Couch saßen und alles direkt kommentieren konnten, hatte er einige ziemlich coole Ideen für den Mix. Das Ergebnis gefällt uns extrem gut und deshalb möchten wir es Euch auch nicht vorenthalten. Vielleicht finden einige den Mix nicht dramatisch anders, aber jeder, der sich für Sounds interessiert, wird viele kleine Details ausfindig machen. Das Vinyl hat als Bonus-CD den Mix von Tue Madsen dabei während es Colin Richardsons Mix auch als dritte CD im Ltd. Edition 3CD Box Set gibt."&lt;/i&gt;

"VETO" erscheint am 19. April in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz.

      <description>HEAVEN SHALL BURN have made another song available taken off their upcoming album "VETO".

Ltd. Edition 3CD Box Set (strictly limited, only available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
Ltd. Edition 2CD

Standard CD Jewelcase
+ several digital formats

While the album was mixed by Tue Madsen there is an alternative mix available for all the sound addicts out there as the vinyl and the Ltd. Edition 3CD Box Set. Maik Weichert (guitar) explains: &lt;i&gt;"The vinyl version and the Ltd. Edition 3CD Box Set of the record will feature an alternative mix, called "Blizzard Over England Mix" by nobody less than Colin Richardson. The story behind the strange name for the mix: We were ready to fly over to England and mix the record, but there was a huge snow chaos in the UK, no planes, no trains, roads blocked no way to get there. Colin was even snowed in and could not get out of the studio at all. So he mixed in almost absolute isolation and brought in a lot of interesting thoughts - without us sitting on the couch in the back and giving our "valuable" advices... We really like the result and thought you should also listen to it. Most people might not find the mixes are any different, but those who are interested in sounds and tweaking can discover lots of different details. The vinyl will come with a CD that has the entire album in the Tue Madsen mix while Colin Richardson's mix will be added as additional and 3rd CD to the Ltd. Edition 3CD Box Set that is only available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland."&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;b&gt;"VETO" is scheduled to be released on the following dates:&lt;/b&gt;

      <title>Heaven Shall Burn: : launch "Land Of The Upright Ones", 1st track off "VETO" via a sound puzzle, reveal cover</title>
      <description>Do you fancy hearing a first brand new track entitled "Land Of The Uprising Ones" off HEAVEN SHALL BURN's upcoming album "VETO"? Then head to: &lt;a href="http://www.landoftheuprightones.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.landoftheuprightones.com&lt;/a&gt;

However, this time you will need to do a bit of work in order to get a hold of your download: We chopped up the song in 8 pieces and will leave it up to you to work out the right sequence. Once you solved the puzzle you can download the song for free - and don't forget to tell your friends you did it.

Maik Weichert (guitars) about the song: &lt;i&gt;"The song is dedicated to Thomas Sankara, a relatively unknown revolutionary whose fate is closely linked to Burkina Faso which can be translated to "Land of upright/honest people" or "Land of honest people". It's a very heavy track."&lt;/i&gt;

"Land Of The Upright Ones" is the first song revealed from HEAVEN SHALL BURN's new album "VETO" that is scheduled to be released on the following dates:
Germany/Austria/Switzerland/Norway: April 19th, 2013
Rest of Europe: April 22nd, 2013
Australia / New Zealand / Finland: April 26th, 2013
USA/Canada: April 30th, 2013

&lt;b&gt;The track listing reads as follows:&lt;/b&gt;
1.      Godiva
2.      Land Of The Upright Ones
3.      Die Stürme Rufen Dich
4.      Fallen
5.      Hunters Will Be Hunted
6.      You Will Be Godless
7.      Valhalla
8.      Antagonized
9.      Like Gods Among Mortals
10.    53 Nations
11.    Beyond Redemption

The cover of "VETO" shows the John Collier painting of Lady Godiva, (c.1898). Maik Weichert comments as to why this piece of art works perfectly with the underlying concept of the album: &lt;i&gt;"It as an icon regarding the fight for social justice. The image also represents a contemporary issue: i.e. today's leading class being isolated from the people and the conflicts arising from that. It is also a great way to show our fans how current problems and topics can be reflected and derived from historical artworks."&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;b&gt;To celebrate the release of "VETO", HEAVEN SHALL BURN will play three exclusive release shows in Europe:&lt;/b&gt;
20.04.2013 (D) Leipzig - Impericon Festival III, Agra
26.04.2013 (AT) Wien - Impericon Festival, Gasometer
27.04.2013 (CH) Zürich - Loudfest, Komplex

&lt;b&gt;Other upcoming shows:&lt;/b&gt;
20.03.2013 (FIN) Helsinki - The Circus 
21.03.2013 (RUS) Sankt Petersburg - ??? ???????? 
22.03.2013 (RUS) Moskau - Mockba Hall

      <title>Heaven Shall Burn: : to release new album, "VETO" on April 22 in Europe and April 30 in North America</title>
      <description>HEAVEN SHALL BURN has just finished recording their upcoming album, "VETO", which is scheduled to be released on the following dates:
Germany/Austria/Switzerland/Norway: April 19th, 2013
Rest of Europe: April 22nd, 2013
Australia / New Zealand / Finland: April 26th, 2013
USA/Canada: April 30th, 2013

Maik Weichert (guitar) comments about "VETO": &lt;i&gt;"We cannot wait to play the album to people! It turned out very diverse, it's melodic, emotional and brutal at the same time. Several guests visited us in the studio for additional performances, so you can look forward to some interesting twists!"&lt;/i&gt;

Due to a recent event, Maik would like to share a first song title: &lt;i&gt;"Just while finalizing the very last bits and pieces for 'VETO' we received the sad news that Walter Schilling passed away in Saalfeld on January 29th. Walter Schilling was a Protestant pastor and civil rights activist in the GDR (former East Germany). We have a new song called 'Antagonized' that is about him, his life and his work in Thuringia. It might seem odd that a band called HEAVEN SHALL BURN is dedicating a song to a man of the church. Still, Schilling was never into clerical dogmas. Instead he encouraged and helped teenagers to pursue new and alternative cultural ideas under the protective shield of his church and youth centre in Braunsdorf near Saalfeld. Without Walter Schilling a huge part of the youth culture and music in Thuringia wouldn't have happened - this probably goes for the GDR in general. No matter if you liked Blues, played Punk or Metal, every single person was welcome in Braunsdorf, Saalfeld, Rudolstadt or Jena. Schilling helped establishing what enabled HSB to play music, because most of the clubs and musicians that supported us in our very early days were directly or indirectly involved with Schilling's work. You will not find many theologians of Walter's kind."&lt;/i&gt; 

To celebrate the release of "VETO", HEAVEN SHALL BURN will play three exclusive release shows in Europe:
20.04.2013 (D) Leipzig - Impericon Festival III, Agra
26.04.2013 (AT) Wien - Impericon Festival, Gasometer
27.04.2013 (CH) Zürich - Loudfest, Komplex

Other upcoming shows:
20.03.2013 (FIN) Helsinki - The Circus 
21.03.2013 (RUS) Sankt Petersburg - ??? ???????? 
22.03.2013 (RUS) Moskau - Mockba Hall 
05. -12.05.2013 (D) Hamburg - Full Metal Cruise

      <title>Heaven Shall Burn: : anniversary show with CALIBAN sold out, announcing additional show</title>
      <description>Since their first anniversary show at Klubhaus Saalfeld on December 21st, 2012 was sold out in no time HEAVEN SHALL BURN decided to add another one on the 22nd. Needless to say their friends in CALIBAN were excited to join in for the extended pre-Christmas party. Additionally HEAVEN SHALL BURN will play different setlists on both nights, so every fan will get the chance to hear some of his classic and favourite songs.

Maik Weichert (guitar) about the addition of the 2nd show: &lt;i&gt;"During the past few days hell broke loose in our email inbox, because so many fans were wondering if there was a chance to get tickets. Hence we were asking ourselves what could possibly be cooler than playing our 500th show? Correct, doing show number 501. It was actually a little tougher than you might think to just add another show, so a massive thank you goes to Klubhaus Saalfeld, our booker and CALIBAN for making it happen. As we know that there might be people who are buying tickets for both nights we decided to play different sets. We are really looking forward to all three shows, because we are sure they will be lots of fun."&lt;/i&gt;

Get your ticket here: &lt;a href="http://www.impericon.com/de/heaven-shall-burn-22-12-2012-zusatzshow-saalfeld-ticket.html" target="_blank"&gt;www.impericon.com/de/heaven-shall-burn-22-12-2012-zusatzshow-saalfeld-ticket.html&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;b&gt;All three shows at a glance:&lt;/b&gt;
20.12.2012 (D) Bochum - Zeche Bochum (CALIBAN headlining)
21.12.2012 (D) Saalfeld - Klubhaus Saalfeld SOLD OUT! (HEAVEN SHALL BURN headlining)
22.12.2012 (D) Saalfeld - Klubhaus Saalfeld (HEAVEN SHALL BURN headlining)

While CALIBAN are out on an extensive European tour with Trivium, As I Lay Dying und Upon A Burning Body HEAVEN SHALL BURN are currently working on the follow up to their highly successful album "Invictus". The 3 shows in December will be your only chance to see the band live until they are headlining the Impericon Festival in Leipzig in April.
