Deaf to Our Prayers is the fourth full-length album by the German metal band Heaven Shall Burn. The title was inspired by the famous poem "The Silesian Weavers" by German poet Heinrich Heine.[5] The first video released for this album was of the song "Counterweight". In addition to his usual screams, vocalist Marcus Bischoff uses a deeper vocal style, typical of traditional death metal, on this album.
