After releasing „Keinen Schritt zurück (feat. DONOTS)“ at the end of September last year, HEAVEN SHALL BURN is starting the new year with „Schweineherbst (feat. DŸSE).“ Until now, the song has only been available as the B-side of the limited „Keinen Schritt zurück“ 7” single from the band’s new webstore.
Maik Weichert (guitar) comments: “It is no secret that we love German punk and Slime have always been on top of our list. ‘Schweineherbst” is as up to date as it gets. We are especially proud about Elf himself adding a guitar solo to the song.”
DŸSE adds: „We live in a time when it is important to do the right thing ethically and morally, and to demonstrate inspiration and co-operation. We are a political band and gladly accepted the invitation from HEAVEN SHALL BURN, a band we highly appreciate and with whom we share a history of almost twenty years, to realize a long-planned project. To make music together. Two bands with a lot of energy and commitment, as a symbiotic wall of sound.
Given the political situation, it was only natural to interpret a political song. With the cover version of the song ‘Schweineherbst’, originally by the legendary Hamburg punk band Slime, who already influenced us in our youth which led us to spray ‘Nazis out’ slogans on the walls of our schools during the so called ‘baseball bat years’, we are releasing a song that is more relevant today than ever. This collaboration comes with a big sound and a clear message. We are happy that we are making a statement with HEAVEN SHALL BURN and taking a very clear stance with this song: We’re not up for Nazis.“
