Heaven Shall Burn win the 'funniest April Fools prank award' this year

         It's April 1st. That means you're either pranking someone, or about to get pranked. In keeping with the spirit of this sacred holiday, many bands have taken to fooling their fans in one way or another. After the Burial excitedly claimed they would be opening for Metallica on a Stadium tour:


and I'm moderately ashamed to say that I fell for it and got excited to see them at Fenway Park. But Heaven Shall Burn posted potentially the funniest joke, with the German metalcore act excitedly proclaiming that several artists were going to be releasing a Heaven Shall Burn tribute album free of 'political and social preaching'.

For immediate Press-Release: HEAVEN SHALL BURN reveal first details about "Feuersturm" HSB-Tribute EP:
"It was about time for a HSB tribute record, so many fans asked for it since ages! For this one we wanted to work without any compromise. We´re sure our fans appreciate a little break from political and social preaching as much as we did within this project! We´re really glad all the bands we contacted about that Tribute record were enthusiastic and flattered to be part of it!"
Expect crushing cover songs from bands such as:
NOKTURNAL MORTUM - The Weapon they fear
ABYSSIC HATE - The lie you bleed for
ABSURD - Straßenkampf
HATE FOREST - Voice of the Voiceless
GRAVELAND - Armia
SATANIC WARMASTER - Hunters will be hunted
BURZUM - Destroy Fascism

All profits of this project will be donated to the NSBM FOR AFRICA FOUNDATION.
PRE-Order through www.aryangaypriderecs.com

 For those not in the know, all of the bands listed are or have been aligned with the NSBM movement within black metal, which is marked by particularly...strong-willed right-wing ideologies. Having Burzum cover 'Destroy Fascism', thus, is funny for multiple reasons. To top it off, here's the cover for 'Feuersturm', which is, of course, a parody of Burzum's Filosofem.


      While we're on the topic of pranks, it feels like as good a time as any that Idiot in Remission, as of tomorrow, will become a Blood on the Dance Floor-themed blog. All posts not about Dahvie Vanity will be deleted.
