HEAVEN SHALL BURN: 'Bildersturm - Iconoclast II' First-Week Chart Positions

June 4, 2009

Century Media Records and HEAVEN SHALL BURN have announced a double chart entry in Germany for the German death metal and hardcore fusionists' first official DVD/live release, "Bildersturm – Iconoclast II (The Visual Resistance)".

The release entered the German DVD chart at No. 3 (behind IRON MAIDEN and ERIC CLAPTON) and the Austrian DVD chart at No. 9 as well as the official German album chart at No. 54.

The band comments: "For us personally the chart success of a release is not that relevant. What is important to us is the reactions and feedback of our friends and fans. As these reactions are so overwhelmingly positive, we are really, really happy at the moment that this release could meet your and our expectations. Of course, that does not mean we give a fuck about charting, not at all! We know it is something special to achieve a chart entry especially with a DVD but — and that’s something many bands tend to forget about — not we but you guys out there who bought this release made this possible. It is awesome that with your support we could give all these poser bands a swift kick in the ass!"

"Bildersturm – Iconoclast II (The Visual Resistance)" was released on May 25 in Europe via Century Media Records. In addition to "incredible" live material, the DVD includes a comprehensive documentary and loads of other content.

"Bildersturm – Iconoclast II (The Visual Resistance)" is available in three different formats: a limited-edition three-disc box set including two DVDs as well as a live CD; 2DVD and CD.

The stunning artwork was once created by Bastian Sobtzick (CALLEJON, WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH) and continues the visual tradition of the band's latest studio album, "Iconoclast (Part One: The Final Resistance)".
