Биография

Formed in 1992 under the name Disgorged, HEAVENWOOD quickly established themselves as one of the most important Portuguese metal bands, alongside of Moonspell. HEAVENWOOD signed to Massacre Records and released two albums in the late half of the 1990’s: „Diva“ and „Swallow“ were very well accepted worldwide. 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 at Wacken Open Air! Their third full-length album „Redemption“ was mixed & mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, etc) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. It features all melodic and catchy HEAVENWOOD trades plus a new energy and experience. Special guest appearances (Ozzy Osbourne/ Firewind’s Gus G and Annihilator’s Jeff Waters) not only underline but also finalize HEAVENWOOD’s trademark of gothic and dark metal. „Abyss Masterpiece“, their fourth album, released in 2011 via Listenable Records was mixed and mastered by producer Kristian „Kohle“ Kohlmannslehner (Crematory, Benighted) at Kohlekeller Studios in Germany. „The Tarot Of The Bohemians - Part 1“, the fifth HEAVENWOOD album is inspired and dedicated to the French occultist Papus (Gérard Analect Vincent Encausse) and his studies regarding the Tarot. April 2016 marks the return of HEAVENWOOD to Massacre Records. For Detailed info @https://www.facebook.com/notes/2057106570988314/
