With drops of sweat on his face and a soaked shirt, Marcus Bischoff yells into the microphone, which he holds in both hands. Then he clenches his right hand into a fist, raises it and shouts: “Let’s go!”
Bischoff’s band Heaven Shall Burn appears at the Wacken heavy metal festival, not for the first time, but everything is different now. Nobody dances in front of the stage, the animated dots move.
An appearance at the festival in Corona year 2020. Without audience, without applause.
The fact that Bischoff, 41, is even standing on a stage this year and screaming into the microphone is an exception. Because mostly he hurries through the corridors of a hospital in Saalfeld, in his native Thuringia. In addition to his vocal work with Heaven Shall Burn, a highly successful German metal band, he works as an intensive care assistant.
It was not expected.
When the pandemic spread to Germany in March, Bischoff was actually on vacation with the band. Heaven Shall Burn are about to release their new album (“Of Truth and Sacrifice”), a sold out tour is pending, the flight to a concert in Mexico is booked.
