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.

White Addiction
HencefortH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To help me swallow my pride
When there is nothing left to say
When there is nothing left to do
And I'm the one to spread the news...
I know I shouldn't do it
I am killing myself
I am out of my mind
That's when the feeling fades away
And I stop feeling useless...
For how long can I go on like this?
How long before something goes wrong?
I can kill making mistakes
It's time for me to stop
It's time for me to stop
But I can't let it go away
It takes me so high I can't give it up
You can lay down beside me
Let's watch the ceiling spin...
How can it all be
So close, within his reach - it shouldn't be that easy
No one could tell what was hapenning
How can one trust him now?
I don't know, what it always like this?
Please tell me, please tell me
I know it hurts but I want my share
I'm so glad it's within grasp
When I need to find the strenght to keep trying it right
I think I need just one more shot
How can it all be
So close, within his reach - it shouldn't be that easy
No one could tell what was hapenning
His white addiction
The lyrics of "White Addiction" by Henceforth describe the struggles that the persona is facing due to his drug addiction. The opening lines, "The needle always finds its way / To help me swallow my pride," suggests that the persona is using drugs as a coping mechanism. He turns to drugs when he is left with nothing else to say or do, and he is the one who spreads the news of his addiction. He is aware that he is killing himself instead of healing and admitting that he is out of his mind. But he cannot let go of the feeling that the drugs give him; it takes him so high that he cannot give it up. The persona is fighting within himself, knowing that he must stop and do the right thing.
The chorus highlights the internal conflict that the persona is facing. He knows that he is making mistakes, and he cannot keep going on like this without something going wrong. He wants to stop his addiction and get his life back on track. But at the same time, he cannot resist the temptation that the drugs offer him. It's a vicious cycle that he's stuck in. He needs one more shot to get the strength to keep trying to do the right thing. The persona is aware that his addiction has caused him to lose the trust of those around him. He questions whether it was always like this, and he seeks reassurance from someone to tell him if it's normal.
