Henceforth is a heavy metal, progressive rock band from Brasil and first saw the light of day back in 1993, when Hugo, Fabio (both former members of Wardeath, a trash metal band) and Andre Nikakis (former Final Garden bass player) got together to start a new band. After some time, the line-up was stabilized with Hugo (g), Andre (b), Fabio (d), Daniel Matos (v, Andre Matos' younger brother) and Cristiano Altieri (k). In 1996 the band recorded its first demo tape "The Last Day", containing 3 songs ("Leave", "Runaway" and "The Last Day"), which was reviewed in several publications throughout the world and was highly acclaimed by the fans. By then the band was playing in the underground circuit at its hometown, São Paulo. Further down the road, singer Daniel left the band to work in other musical projects. He was replaced by BJ, who would be introduced to the public on the second 3-song ("In the Garden", "Reaching for the Sky" and "Tales") demo. With this line-up the band would play at some bigger venues as openning acts for Angra. BJ left the band on June, 2000 (a little less than one year after the band started working with Guilherme and Luis on the pre-production of the debut album). He was replaced by Frank Harris, whose style fitted even better into the band's music. Late in 2001 the band started recording its debut-CD, but due to a number of factors work on the CD was virtually interrupted in 2002 only to re-start on early 2003. In the mean time, another line-up change: bass player Andre decides to leave the band and move to Greece; his position was filled by Hugo's brother and Shaaman bass player Luis Mariutti.

Henceforth today remains faithful to its roots by mixing Heavy Metal and Progressive Rock, but sounding heavier than ever before. The self-titled debut album was released in Brazil in December, 2005 via Voice Music.

Changing Tide
HencefortH Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter how good it seems
No matter how hard you try to make it last
It will go away

Life has a way
To surprise you when you least expect
Out of the blue

So you hold on to what you think you've got
Unsuspecting of the change ahead

It was a hell of a ride
But now it's through where will you go from here?
There's only haze

You strain your eyes
and see a giant wave headed your way
You can't turn away

So you hold on to what you think you've got
Unsuspecting of the change ahead
When it comes it hits you like a brick
Knocks you senseless wondering what went wrong

And then day after day
You make you best to face your fate
One day you'll feel at home
Just in time for the next wave
Next big wave

Don't ever get fooled by calm waters around
It's all so fragile and vain
You'd better prepare for what lies ahead, for now you live
The calm before the storm

And then day after day
You make you best to face your fate
One day you'll feel at home

Just in time for the next wave
Next big wave

Line by Line Meaning

No matter how good it seems
Even if everything seems perfect

No matter how hard you try to make it last
Even if you do everything in your power to maintain it

It will go away
It will inevitably disappear

Life has a way
Life often operates in a particular manner

To surprise you when you least expect
It can catch you off guard when you are not anticipating it

Out of the blue
Suddenly out of nowhere

So you hold on to what you think you've got
You try to maintain control over what you believe you have

Unsuspecting of the change ahead
Without realizing that change is coming

It was a hell of a ride
It was exhilarating and intense

But now it's through where will you go from here?
Now that it's over, what is the next step?

There's only haze
The future is uncertain
