Bio:

Formed in 1992 under the name Disgorged, HEAVENWOOD quickly established themselves as one of the most important Portuguese bands, alongside of Moonspell.HEAVENWOOD signed to Massacre Records and released two albums in the late half of the 1990’s. «Diva» and «Swallow» sold more than 40.000 copies worldwide and put HEAVENWOOD in successful European tours with bands such as Atrocity, In Flames, Theatre Of Tragedy and Lake Of Tears.In 1998, high on the track of their «Swallow» album (which featured guest appearances by Gamma Ray mastermind Kai Hansen and – at the time – Theatre Of Tragedy front lady Liv Kristine), HEAVENWOOD was the first Portuguese band EVER to play in Wacken Open Air. After that, more tours with bands such as Atrocity, Solitude Aeturnus and Savior Machine, but the band quickly folded in a sea of internal problems and line-up changes... until 2008. Then HEAVENWOOD returned ready to break hearts again with their third full-length album «Redemption» released on Recital Records(Independent Portuguese Label)!«Redemption» was recorded in USStudios, Braga, Portugal and mixed & mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Soilwork, Amon Amarth) at Fascination Street Studios, in Sweden. The album features all melodic and catchy HEAVENWOOD trades plus a new energy and experience. The recording is still rounded by special guest appearances (Ozzy Osbourne/ Firewind’s Gus G, Oceans Of Sadness’ Tijs Vanneste and Annihilator’s Jeff Waters) who not only underline but also sublime HEAVENWOOD’s trademark of Gothic and Dark Metal.On March 2011, HEAVENWOOD released its fourth album, entitled "Abyss Masterpiece" via Listenable Records.The CD was mixed and mastered by producer Kristian "Kohle" Kohlmannslehner (CREMATORY, AGATHODAIMON,BENIGHTED) at Kohlekeller Studios in Germany. "Abyss Masterpiece " was recorded again at USStudios. Editing was completed at 213 Studio in Oporto, Portugal.The album artwork was created by Matthew Vickerstaff of Darkwave Art, who has previously worked with CRADLE OF FILTH, MY DYING BRIDE, among others).

Album:

I love Portugal, even before visiting its capital, Lisbon, in 2009 and got instantly charmed by the mix of melancholy, rich culture and dramatic yet poetic air that lurks behind every corner of this Lusitanian city. Really this is not a surprise, because this mysterious ‘1000-and-1-nights’-laden country was in constantly interacting for more than four centuries with Arab population and their Eastern culture (among them some of the greatest mathematician minds of all time), so in a way it’s impossible for this movement to not have influenced every expression of Portuguese life, including Art. And that’s what happens in Portugal’s heavy music too; from dark to Gothic to Doom Metal, that sweet melancholy has passed through every note the Portuguese craft, and this is one of the reason I love their music so much, too. Oporto’s HEAVENWOOD belong to this category, since their sound is enhanced with dark yet aggressive infusions that are impossible to resist, so the coming of their fifth full length, titled “The Tarot Of The Bohemians”, was big news for my world, so it didn’t take much to press instantly the ‘order now’ button.And I’m so glad I did! “The Tarot Of The Bohemians” seems like picking things up where 2011’s “Abyss Masterpiece” stopped, hitting hard with that gorgeous amalgam of Gothic / Dark Metal that these Portuguese know how to create, only this time the sonic result sounds more grandiose orchestration-wise, reminding me a bit the latest works of bands like SEPTICFLESH where such arrangements take over the room. From the album opener “The Juggler” (that has the HEAVENWOOD moniker written all over it) till the ethereal Hard rocker “The Hanged Man” (thanks to Sandra Oliveira’s female touch), the album is filled up with truly addictive tunes with choruses that instantly get stuck, and with a lyrical theme that’s focused on the Tarot cards and the studies on them, conducted by the Spanish-born French physician and hypnotist Papus (1865-1916), adding a more dark and mystical note. Tracks like “The High Priestess” and “The Empress” will stick with you for days (I really like the way the guitars compliment the clean vocals and the overall old-school Gothic-style setting), while orchestral moments on tracks like “The Emperor”, “The Pope” and “The Chariot” beautifully reveal the grandiose SEPTICFLESH-like orchestration I was talking about earlier. Make a note to revisit “The Lovers” over and over again to enjoy its addictive chorus on a high volume, while “The Hermit”, placed on the right position of the tracklist, will take you through the sands of time using HEAVENWOOD’s mystical portal, where the epic touch of Fadi Al Shami’s vocalisms and the Eastern guitar-riffage make all the difference.“The Tarot Of The Bohemians” is an incredibly homogenous album with massive yet melodic tracks that serve totally their role on the album’s concept, so make sure that you’ll listen to it without any interruption. Looks like HEAVENWOOD did it again and offer us a high-quality album, especially for whoever thinks that aggression and melody can work side by side and create miracles. ‘Cause this is what “The Tarot Of The Bohemians” is all about.
