History


Formation and first releases (1995–1999)

Heaven Shall Burn was formed by guitarist Maik Weichert and drummer Matthias Voigt in May 1995 under the name Before The Fall. After performing a couple of shows, the band renamed to Consense and recorded their first demo, titled ''The Eve of the Storm'', in winter 1997. In early 1998, cousins Marcus and Eric Bischoff joined the band as vocalist and bassist, respectively. With this lineup, Consense recorded a second demo, which led to a contract with Deeds of Revolution Records. The band began the recording of their debut EP ''In Battle...'' in summer 1998, but decided on renaming for a second time to Heaven Shall Burn before the EP's release. The EP was released through Deeds of Revolution Records in late 1998, and a split album with label mates Fall of Serenity was released in 1999. Around this time, Michael Hartmann left the band and Patrick Schleitzer filled in his position as second guitarist.
