“Of Truth and Sacrifice" è un concept album con alla base, come suggerisce il titolo, i temi di "verità" e "sacrificio" nello stile e nel sound unico della band tedesca con l'aggiunta di archi e orchestrazioni scritte assieme al produttore Sven Helbig e registrate successivamente a Minsk con il direttore d'orchestra Wilhelm Keitel. In aggiunta agli oltre 100 minuti di musica della versione standard sarà disponibile una limited edition con un documentario di 90 minuti, “Mein grünes Herz in dunklen Zeiten“ (= “My Green Heart In Dark Times“), ad opera del regista Ingo Schmoll che ha seguito la band per quasi un anno per immortalare la storia degli HEAVEN SHALL BURN. Disponibile un trailer a questo link: https://youtu.be/C7NPqydqbtM

Guitarist Maik Weichert about the song and video: “The destruction of the oceans rarely happens right in front of us, but secretly in the middle of nowhere. We have been supporting Sea Shepherd for a very long time already and have made many friends and partners in this organization that it striving against the aforementioned destruction. It was important to us that active members as well as veterans are a part of the video. People need to understand that these activists are no outlaws and untouchable heroes, but ordinary girls and boys coming right from the middles of our societies, people who have decided to make a change and fight for their ideals. Everybody can support a good cause and a fair battle. It doesn't matter which nationality, skin colour or background you have - it's about the world we all live in. If the oceans die it will mean our end as well.”
