HEAVENWOOD The Tarot of the Bohemians: Part 1 CD

Marking a triumphant return to their original label home, Massacre Records, Portuguese Gothic Metal legends Heavenwood deliver one of their most ambitious works with The Tarot of the Bohemians: Part 1. This conceptual album delves into the occult studies of the French scholar Papus and his intricate interpretations of the Tarot. Musically, the band stays true to their Occult Emotive Metal roots, offering a powerful blend of melancholic melodies, dark atmospheric orchestrations, and a heavy, modern guitar edge. The dual vocal attack of Ernesto Guerra and Ricardo Dias remains a cornerstone of their sound, enriched here by guest appearances from Daniel Cardoso (Anathema) on drums and Sandra Oliveira (Blame Zeus). For fans of Moonspell, Paradise Lost, and Tiamat, this record is a masterful display of sophisticated songwriting and cinematic darkness from one of the most respected acts in the Iberian scene.
