Helevorn

Spanish Melodic Doom Gothic Metal band formed in 1999.
Their first recording was a promo cd called “Prelude” in winter of 2000. It was their presentation letter, written with a Gothic-Doom style with female vocals, reminding bands like Tristania or Theatre of Tragedy, and with a very good acceptance in the underground press.

After a few years of intense work, the band worked with new songs, and they decided to record it at Ona Digital Studios (Mallorca), and mastered at Finnvox Studios (Finland) by Mika Jussila. The final result was a new Cd called “Fragments”, self released in October 2005, sounding more solid, and get also transmit a dark, heavy and melancholic sound.

2010 means the release of their second studio album “Forthcoming Displeasures” (edited by Russian label BadMoodMan), recorded in March at Urban Studios in Palma, produced by Jens Bogren and Johan Ornborg, also producers of bands like Katatonia, Opeth, Paradise Lost, etc. taking an important step in their musical style, emphasizing a more intense and heavy sound, being more forceful and deep, becoming second best Doom Metal album of the year at Metalstorm.net.

In September 2014 the band released their new third album entitled “Compassion Forlorn” (edited again by Solitude/BadMoodMan), recorded and mixed at Psychosomatic Studios by M.A. Riutort and mastered by Jens Bogren. Eight tracks full of human decay from our most deepest sentiments, composing an album that has returned the meaning of an evolution in the compositions and in the band’s sound reaching excellent reviews and placing the band in a good position in the Doom Metal worldwide.

During the summer of 2018 the band recorded its fourth full-length album, doing the same formula as the previous one (Psychosomatic Studios with M.A Riutort + Jens Bogren mastering the disc). The result has been ‘Aamamata’, that is the song that Death sings every day in the Mediterranean Sea, which has become a desolate pit for human lives. The album was released on January 23rd of 2019 again with Solitude/BadMoodMan. It’s a bit more epic, more intense and it keeps the personality of the previous albums. The contributions have been great. Heike Langhans of Draconian has sung in a song, like Júlia Colom, and Jaume Compte played the bouzouky and baglama. Guitar solos played by Pedro Zubiri.
