Pedro Zelbohr (Guitar) and Tommy Roitman (Drums) formed Heavy/Power Metal band Split Heaven, in 2003. After recording a demo called "Lightstorm" in May of the same year, they decided to change the line up in order to evolve on the sound of the band.
After two years, now with two new members: Eli Valenzuela (Vocals) & Carlo "Taii" Hernández (Bass), Split Heaven recorded a second demo called R.I.P with two songs and with this recording (with a much better and powerful sound) they had the chance to play all over Mexican Republic and also having the opportunity to be the supporting band in a concert of Paul Di Anno.
In 2007, Asenath Records from Monterrey, México, offers a contract to release the first full-length album of the band. Split Heaven accepts and enters the studio recording ten songs, half in English and half in Spanish, having as a result a Power Metal album that opened doors for the band, touring in México as headliner and also being the supporting band for Hammerfall (Sweden), Rata Blanca (Argentina) & L.A Guns (U.S.A).
Being not 100% satisfied with the sound of the first album, Split Heaven decides to add a new member, Armand "Hank" Ramos in the guitar. In 2008, having a solid line up and sound, Split Heaven enters the rehearsal room in order to create a new album. Blower Records (Veto, Strike Master, Voltax, Gumo Maniacs, etc.) offers a contract for the second full-length album "Psycho Samurai" which was released on July of 2008 officially in a show with U.S Metal bands At War & Agent Steel.
In 2009, Split Heaven won the "Mexican Metal Battle" contest, which took place in Mexico City at Circo Volador venue. With this, they received the opportunity to represent México in the "2009 Metal Battle" at "Wacken Open Air" on its 20th Anniversary being the first Mexican band ever to perform in this festival.
In the same year, High Roller Records (Germany) acquires the license of "Psycho Samurai" album from Blower Records and the band releases their first vinyl production in February of 2010.
In March of 2010, the German label "Pure Steel Records" signed the Mexicans in order to release their 3rd album In December of the present year, having also planned the re-releases of the previous albums.
In July of 2010 Split Heaven joined the "American Old School Metal Attack" in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with the Pure Steel Records bands: Enchanter (U.S.A) and Hellish War (Brazil). Again, the band represented Mexico in this great tour, which also is planned to take place in the U.S & Europe in the next years.
Now, the band is finishing the 3rd album and planning a European Tour to promote the new work.
Split Heaven is endorsed by: Washburn Guitars, Randall Amplifiers, Vic Firth, MEINL Cymbals and Evans Drumheads.

Split Heaven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y las llamas queman con venganza, mira a los cuerpos caer.
Así sera! no dejemos que los nuestros hundan
los sueños creados ya están, y nuevas batallas habrá
Estamos poseídos no queda más, que conquistar
Enciende los caminos y jamás mires para atrás
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
Descarga Letal
La oscuridad, nos lleva por nuestro destino, y las fuerzas se apoderarán
Nunca podremos escapar
Termina ya! La locura invade la verdad, estallan las hordas del mal
Unidos podremos ganar!
Estamos poseídos no queda más, que conquistar
Enciende los caminos y jamás mires para atrás
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
Descarga Letal
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
Descarga Letal, es puro metal!
The lyrics of Split Heaven's song "Descarga Letal" convey a powerful message of perseverance and determination. The opening lines, "Sin piedad, deja salir a las sombras" (Without mercy, let the shadows out), set a dark and intense tone. It speaks of unleashing the hidden aspects of oneself, the shadows that we keep suppressed. The following line, "Y las llamas queman con venganza, mira a los cuerpos caer" (And the flames burn with vengeance, watch the bodies fall), suggests a fierce retaliation against those who have done wrong. It showcases the destructive power of these emotions.
The chorus, "Descarga Letal, es puro metal!" (Lethal discharge, it's pure metal!) acts as a rallying cry, representing the driving force behind this intense music. It is a celebration of the raw energy and power that metal music embodies. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes its importance and serves to unite the listeners in their shared passion for this genre.
The second verse further explores the themes of darkness and the struggle against evil. It alludes to being possessed by a relentless desire to conquer and achieve. "La oscuridad, nos lleva por nuestro destino, y las fuerzas se apoderarán" (The darkness leads us towards our destiny, and the forces will take over) suggests a sense of destiny and inevitability, as if the darkness is guiding the path and the forces of evil are closing in. However, the lyrics also express a belief in unity and the power of working together to overcome these challenges. "Unidos podremos ganar!" (United we can win!) illustrates the importance of solidarity and collective strength.
Overall, "Descarga Letal" is a powerful metal anthem that encourages listeners to embrace their inner darkness and use it as a driving force for success and triumph. It celebrates the raw power and energy of metal music while emphasizing the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity.
