Heaven Shall Burn have shared a new cover of Killswitch Engage’s “Numbered Days.” The track, which features Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach, is from the band’s new album, “Heimat,” which will be released on June 27.
Heaven Shall Burn commented:
“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!”
Leach added:
“All of us are honored 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!”
In other news, Heaven Shall Burn have also recruited vocalist Britta Görtz (Hiraes) for their immediate live shows. She is filling in for Marcus Bischoff, who is battling a throat infection. Bischoff commented:
“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!”
