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.

HencefortH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chances are it will chance your life
Don’t try to fool yourself
By pretending that the dreams is gone
Not long ago you made a choice
And now you’re looking back
You’re wondering
Father time then reopened a door
That you thought was locked and
Now your time has finally come
To be free...
So now throw away your fears
The waiting is over cant you see?
You’re finally free to ride
In a blue sky that was so far away
And now you’re able to see
How unpredictable life can be
You thought that things were all defined
Now change is coming straight in
A new direction to your life
It’s all because you’ve sowed the seeds
And waited so long fot the out come...
And now you’re able to see
How unpredictable life can be
You thought that things were all defined
Now change is coming straight in
A new direction to your life
It’s all because you’ve sowed the seeds
And waited so long fot the out come...
The song "Opened Door" by Henceforth is about taking chances in life and the unpredictability of it all. The lyrics talk about how there are moments in our lives that can change us forever, and how we should not pretend that we no longer have our dreams. It acknowledges that we make choices in life and sometimes wonder if they were the right ones.
The lyrics then mention Father Time, a metaphor for the passage of time, reopening a door that was once thought to be locked. This presents a new opportunity to be free and throw away our fears. The waiting is over, and we can finally ride into a blue sky that was once far away. The song emphasizes that life is unpredictable and that we should welcome change because it can bring a new direction to our lives. This change is possible because we sowed the seeds and waited for the outcome.
Overall, the song is a message of hope and encouragement to embrace change and take chances in life. It recognizes that sometimes we doubt our choices, but ultimately, they lead us to where we are meant to be.
