CONFOUNDERHeaven Shall Burn

Heaven Shall Burn – CONFOUNDER (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

HEAVEN SHALL BURN, a heavyweight in the German metal scene, has released a lead single from their upcoming June album “Heimat.” Blending metalcore with melodic death metal to sound the alarm on modern society, the track strikes a superb balance between crushing breakdowns and emotive melodies.

The music video, directed by Janne Hansberg, vividly visualizes the album’s themes: a critique of consumer society and the importance of independent thought.

The result exudes the confidence of a powerhouse band that topped the German album charts in 2020 with their previous record, “Of Truth and Sacrifice.” If you resonate with lyrical, socially conscious themes—or if you’re a fan of melodic death metal—this is a strongly recommended track.

Peaking at No.

25 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart, it’s a must-hear for fans who love the grit of garage rock and the pull of straight-ahead rock sounds.

CannonballThe Breeders

The Breeders – Cannonball

Starting with a strangely warped baseline and layered with distorted vocals, this striking track that The Breeders unleashed on the American alternative rock scene was the lead single from their August 1993 album Last Splash.

Hailing from Ohio, the band was formed around former Pixies member Kim Deal and her twin sister Kelley.

Satirizing French philosophical thought and carrying the message that “life is not a competition,” the song peaked at No.

44 on the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved the remarkable feat of staying on the French charts for 30 weeks.

Its music video, co-directed by Kim Gordon and Spike Jonze, also made waves.

Perfect for those craving the exhilaration of a long-distance drive or wanting to soak in the atmosphere of the ’90s alternative rock heyday.
