The wait is almost over: on June 27, 2025, our longtime friends Heaven Shall Burn will release their brand-new studio album Heimat. To celebrate, the band will play four special record release club shows — and they’re looking for support acts. That’s where you come in!
Yes, you heard that right — your band has the chance to secure a support slot at one of the following shows:
-
June 29 – Bremen, Modernes
-
June 30 – Bochum, Zeche
-
July 1 – Memmingen, Kaminwerk
-
July 2 – Themar, Schützenhaus
To mark the occasion, HSB’s Maik Weichert reflects on their early days:
“We’re incredibly excited for these upcoming club shows celebrating our new album, but we need support — from YOU and your bands! These venues need to be fired up properly. Back in the day, we were lucky enough to get the chance from established bands to show what we could do in front of sold-out crowds. That gave us a real push, and now we want to do the same for you!
So let us hear and see what you’ve got! Music with real emotion, heart, and soul — no fake rockstar attitude — will absolutely have the edge. Be brave. We can’t wait to see what you’re made of.”
