The major differential of Holiness are the compositions that always begin with beautiful melodies sustained only by acoustic guitar and voice. Today the complete line up counts with Fabrício Reis (guitar), Hércules Moreira (bass).
After a somewhat unpretentious beginning, in August 2008 the band began to take shape with Aquiles Priester's visit to Erechim, when Cristiano and Stéfanie decided to invite the drummer to produce the band.
The songs began to take shape with the aid of Fabrício and the trio recorded a demo for Aquiles and waited for his approval to work with the band. After the drummer's OK, the band invited Hércules to complete the team and begin the pre-production and recording of the CD.
Holiness tries to combine a softer vocal with more aggressive instrumentals and the lyrics are usually about every day themes that refer to existential matters and interior reflections.
The debut album, Beneath The Surface, counted with Adair Daufembach as sound technician. The drums were recorded at Daufembach studios in Criciúma (SC) and a mobile recording unit was sent to Erechim to accomplish the remaining recordings.
Once this stage was concluded, the album was mixed and mastered at studio Area 51 in Celle (Germany) by American producer Tommy Newton and also counted with the participation of keyboard player Fábio Laguna of Hangar.
Even without have the CD released yet, Holiness is already pointed as one of the most awaited bands of the year, due to the diversity of styles that presents in its compositions, that sound very modern and current, having great chance of being one of the biggest revelations of the year of 2009.

The Truth
Holiness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just can't forget
Why is it so hard to believe you?
And my thoughts go hide
In another place
Where your words can't hurt me again
And now
I want to know...
(I just want to know...)
I used to believe
In a better life
Now i see that i was dreaming
i just wanna run
Never feel the pain
Wounds on my skin that bleed
Please, show me the way out
Now I'm leaving
And I'm not coming back for more
I will tell you everything I know
But I can't help you now
The message lies between the lines
And only you can find out
Can find out the truth
Every time you lose
You learn to win
Somehow you know it's your turn
When I begin to play, I'll beat you
Now you're inside my game, no need to
Run away from the pain, that's useless
It's all in your mind
I will tell you everything I know
But I can't help you now
The message lies between the lines
And only you can find out
Can find out the truth
In the song "The Truth" by Holiness, the lyrics explore the pain and disappointment of being deceived by someone you trusted. The singer is struggling to let go of the hurt caused by the lies, but is also determined to move on from the situation altogether. The lyrics reveal a sense of hopelessness, but also a sense of empowerment in the face of the betrayal, as the singer acknowledges that they cannot change the past and can only take control of their own life going forward.
The chorus, "I will tell you everything I know, but I can't help you now, the message lies between the lines, and only you can find out, can find out the truth," speaks to the idea that even when we are hurt and seek answers, we must ultimately find the truth within ourselves. The repetition of "I just want to know..." emphasizes the desire for clarity, closure, and peace of mind. The second verse further elaborates on the singer's feelings, as they express a desire to escape the pain and trauma, but feel trapped and unable to move on. Finally, the bridge of the song shifts from despair to a more confident and triumphant tone, as the singer declares that they will beat their adversary at their own game.
Overall, "The Truth" is a powerful song about the complexities of trust, betrayal, and personal agency. The lyrics capture the emotional turmoil of being misled, while also offering a message of resilience and self-discovery in the face of adversity.

Every lie you tell
I remember every lie that you tell
I just can't forget
I am unable to forget your lies
Why is it so hard to believe you?
Why do you make it so difficult for me to believe you?
And my thoughts go hide
I hide my thoughts
In another place
I try to think about something else
Where your words can't hurt me again
A place where I won't be affected by your hurtful words anymore
And now
At this moment
When can I go home?
When will I be able to leave?
I want to know...
I am curious to know
I used to believe
I used to have faith
In a better life
That life could be better
Now I see that I was dreaming
Now I realize that it was just a dream
I just wanna run
I just want to escape
Never feel the pain
To never experience pain again
Wounds on my skin that bleed
Physical wounds that are still bleeding
Please, show me the way out
Please help me leave
Now I'm leaving
I am now departing
And I'm not coming back for more
I will not return for more hurt and pain
I will tell you everything I know
I will share all my knowledge with you
But I can't help you now
I am unable to assist you at this moment
The message lies between the lines
The meaning is hidden and must be discovered
And only you can find out
You are the only one who can learn the truth
Can find out the truth
You have the capability to discover the truth
Every time you lose
Whenever you experience a defeat
You learn to win
You acquire the skills needed for success
Somehow you know it's your turn
You feel that it's your time to win
When I begin to play, I'll beat you
I will win when I start playing against you
Now you're inside my game, no need to
You are now playing by my rules, no reason to resist
Run away from the pain, that's useless
Escaping from the suffering is pointless
It's all in your mind
The pain you feel is a result of your thoughts

Cada mentira que dices
Simplemente no puedo olvidar
Por qué es tan difícil de creer?
Y mis pensamientos van a esconderse
En otro lugar
Donde tus palabras no pueden lastimarme otra vez
Y ahora
Cuándo puedo ir a casa?
Quiero saber...
(Sólo quiero saber...)
Solía creer
En una vida mejor
Ahora veo que estaba soñando
Sólo quiero correr
Nunca sienta el dolor
Heridas en mi piel que sangran
Por favor, muéstrame la salida
Ahora me voy
Y no volveré por más
Te diré todo lo que sé
Pero no puedo ayudarte ahora
El mensaje se encuentra entre las líneas
Y solo tú puedes descubrir
Puede descubrir la verdad
Cada vez que pierdes
Aprendes a ganar
De alguna manera sabes que es tu turno
Cuando empiece a jugar, te ganaré
Ahora que estás dentro de mi juego, no es necesario
Huir del dolor, eso es inútil
Todo está en tu mente
Te diré todo lo que sé
Pero no puedo ayudarte ahora
El mensaje se encuentra entre las líneas
Y solo tú puedes descubrir
Puede descubrir la verdad

Fico até com vergonha de não ter conhecido essa antes banda Brazuka de excelente qualidade para dar o prestígio que eles merecem!. Estão de parabéns!! ^_^
@jjrrbb
Conheci a banda Holiness no Araraquara Rock Fest em 2010 e eles tinha acabado de lançar o álbum de estréia "Beneath the Surface". As músicas da Holiness simplesmente marcaram uma época, saudades e nostálgico!
@mannucalfa
Muito legal, não deixa a desejar para banda gringa nenhuma, e ainda lembra muito o Lacuna Coil e um pouco do Whitin Temptation, é muito bom poder saber que o Brasil ta conseguindo chegar lá com relação ao gótico metal e cia...
@marianebrito7270

@eeeeeealvaroneto
Cara, se o Brasil tivesse mais bandas assim, seria um lugar muito melhor! Parabéns Holiness!
@aleister6amadeus66
Lembro de ter visto esse clipe na tv a noite, numa época em que antena parabólica era meio que "artigo de luxo".
@euclidestuca
Sonho em ver Holiness no programa Super Star para que todo o Brasil veja uma das melhores bandas da atualidade
