100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Maik Weichert from Heaven Shall Burn


Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with Maik Weichert, guitarist and founding member of the legendary German metal band Heaven Shall Burn, for a powerful conversation about longevity in extreme music, the stark contrasts between touring in the US and Europe, and the band's enduring commitment to veganism and activism.

Maik shares insights from over two decades of pushing sonic and ideological boundaries—from maintaining creative passion after all these years, to navigating the physical and emotional demands of relentless touring. We dig into the unique challenges and rewards of playing for American audiences, the differences in tour culture and infrastructure, and how staying true to ethical principles like veganism fuels the band’s identity both on and off the stage.
