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.

Without The Sun
HencefortH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes me feel lost all the time
I’m always waiting for a sign
Only a sign
I don’t know what’s running in my veins
What kind of shit that’s not enough for my pain
I’m always waiting for the worst
Save me
We all can live a day without the sun
But now, I have nothing for which to pray
We all can live a day without the sun
And it will be better to wake up another day
Pressure guides all my life
Bringing some tears from every night
I could be dressing my sins with my black tie
I could dive in my dreams denying all my lies
We all can live a day without the sun
But now, I have nothing for which to pray
We all can live a day without the sun
And it will be better to wake up another day
The lyrics of HencefortH's song "Without The Sun" convey feelings of loneliness, despair, and a longing for something meaningful. The opening lines suggest a constant state of waiting, as the singer waits for a sound in their mind that would provide direction or purpose. This unfulfilled longing leaves them feeling lost and continuously searching for a sign.
The following lines indicate a sense of disillusionment and confusion about one's own emotions and circumstances. The singer wonders about what runs through their veins, possibly referring to their own thoughts and feelings, and expresses dissatisfaction with the pain they experience. Despite this, they still anticipate the worst, suggesting a persistent negativity or pessimism.
The chorus reflects on the idea that everyone can survive a day without sunlight, metaphorically representing hope or positivity. However, the singer implies that they have lost faith or something to pray for, suggesting a lack of motivation or reasons to continue. Nevertheless, they express the belief that waking up to another day may bring a better outcome.
In the second verse, the lyrics touch on the pressure that dominates the singer's life, causing tears and emotional strain every night. The mention of dressing sins with a black tie suggests an attempt to conceal or justify wrongdoing, while diving into dreams represents a denial of personal lies and inner truths.
Overall, "Without The Sun" depicts a sense of emotional and existential struggle, with the singer yearning for guidance, meaning, and an escape from their pain and despair.
