Bio:
Formed in 2003 in Abbiategrasso (Milan), Lombardy...Heavenfall has steadily refined a sound rooted in classic heavy metal while integrating more personal and introspective elements over time. With “Thorn“, the band consolidates that evolution into their most coherent and self-aware release to date, avoiding nostalgia in favor of a more deliberate and contemporary expression of their identity.Founded by teenagers in 2003, Heavenfall has evolved from their debut, Falling From Heaven, to a more mature sound that combines aggressive riffs with emotional, melodic, and often melancholic atmospheres. Their music is frequently compared to bands like Nevermore, Iced Earth, and Savatage.In 2026, the band is set to release a new full-length album titled Thorn on May 15th via Rockshots Records. The album is described as a deep dive into the fragile side of human existence, with "Squall-led" and "No Candlelight" serving as singles to showcase its dark, melodic, and progressive nature.
Album:
Rooted in classic heavy and thrash metal, “Thorn” evolves that foundation into a darker, more introspective and dynamically layered sound.The band retains a strong sense of riff authority - tight, articulate and often built around memorable rhythmic motifs - while placing increased emphasis on atmosphere, harmonic depth and structural flow. Songs are not constructed as linear sequences of parts but as evolving narratives where tension and release are shaped through tempo variations, layered guitar arrangements and subtle textural changes.With “No Candlelight”, the band sharpens the direction introduced by the previous singles, moving deeper into darker and more introspective territory where classic heavy metal foundations intersect with progressive structures and a brooding tonal palette. The track unfolds with precision, shifting between tension-driven riffing and carefully structured melodic passages while maintaining a clear and controlled trajectory.At its core, “No Candlelight” conveys a persistent sense of displacement and inner unrest. The lyrics revolve around the search for belonging, addressing not only younger generations but anyone confronting uncertainty in purpose and identity. Rather than offering resolution, the song embraces that instability, turning it into a central emotional driver.This perspective aligns with the broader framework of “Thorn“, conceived as a cohesive exploration of human fragility. The album draws on melancholic textures and introspective themes, resulting in a listening experience that is both emotionally charged and structurally deliberate.Written by Giovanni Sorrentino and Mattia Pavanello with lyrics by Andrea Mereghetti, “No Candlelight” reflects the band’s collaborative songwriting approach, where musical and lyrical elements develop in parallel rather than as separate layers.From a production standpoint, “Thorn” maintains a defined and balanced sonic identity: produced by the band with drums recorded by Maurizio Cardullo at Crono Sound Factory and mixed and mastered by Davide Tavecchia at Twilight Studio, the album achieves clarity without sacrificing weight, supporting its dynamic arrangements with restraint and focus.Release date 15.5.2026 through Rockshots Records.
