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.

Rise Again
HencefortH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gaze at a wide, wide horizon
Shared by both storms and blue skies
Enjoying long awaited peace of mind
That took so long to come
I feel the cool sea breeze
But then it makes me think
Certain times are to be left behind
But this is easier said than done
Cos when heartache takes me over
It's no use denying pain
So I Just head for the water
Ill dive deep once more
I will let things flow
out of my mind
Ill smile again
When I look inside myself I see
Im still the child I used to be
Im only grown up on the outside
And that leaves a giant void inside
Now its time I have to find the one
That will take me out of the abyss
But living life the way I do
Theres no chance that things will change
When emotional disasters come
I know they always last for so long
Til that star shines on once more
And Its time for me to Rise Again
And again I will wonder
Will that star shine someday?
Ill remember that It made me
That It made me Rise Again
In "Rise Again," HencefortH reflects on the difficulties of leaving the past behind and moving forward after heartbreak. Standing by the southern shores, he looks out at the vast horizon shared by both storms and blue skies. While he enjoys the long-awaited peace of mind, he still finds himself reminiscing about the past and struggling to let it go. Although he knows certain times must be left behind, it is easier said than done. When heartache consumes him, he heads for the water, diving deep to clear his mind and find a way to smile again. Despite feeling grown-up on the outside, he realizes there's still a void within him that he must fill by finding someone to pull him out of the abyss.
The emotional disasters last for so long, but he finds hope in the fact that eventually, the stars will shine once more, and it will be time for him to rise again. He wonders whether that star will shine someday and remembers that it made him who he is today. "Rise Again" is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, there's always hope for a new dawn.

Just standing by southern shores
Standing at the southern beach.
Gaze at a wide, wide horizon
Looking at the broad horizon.
Shared by both storms and blue skies
Horizon shared by both bad and good days.
Enjoying long awaited peace of mind
Finally experiencing peacefulness.
That took so long to come
It took a long time for that peace to arrive.
I feel the cool sea breeze
Feeling the refreshing sea wind.
But then it makes me think
But it leads to some thoughts.
Of whom I shouldn't think
Thinking about someone one should avoid.
Certain times are to be left behind
Some phases of life should stay in the past.
But this is easier said than done
It's easier to say than to do.
Cos when heartache takes me over
Because heartbreak consumes me.
It's no use denying pain
It's pointless to deny the pain.
So I Just head for the water
Going to the water.
Ill dive deep once more
Diving again in the water.
I will let things flow
Letting things go with the flow.
out of my mind
Out of my thoughts.
Ill smile again
Will smile once more.
When I look inside myself I see
When I introspect, I see.
Im still the child I used to be
I am still the same person I was as a child.
Im only grown up on the outside
I am only grown up physically.
And that leaves a giant void inside
That, in turn, leaves a massive emptiness within.
Now it's time I have to find the one
Now is the time to find someone.
That will take me out of the abyss
Someone who takes me away from the problems I am facing.
But living life the way I do
Living life the way I am comfortable.
There's no chance that things will change
No possibility of things changing.
When emotional disasters come
When emotional devastation happens.
I know they always last for so long
They tend to last for an extended duration.
Til that star shines on once more
Until that hope appears again.
And Its time for me to Rise Again
Then it's time for me to start again.
And again I will wonder
And again, I will question myself.
Will that star shine someday?
Will that hope appear again?
Ill remember that It made me
I will recollect that it helped me.
That It made me Rise Again
It gave me the strength to move on and start again.
