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.
My Soul Burns Forever
Split Heaven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when my love grows up again.
Rewrite my story line,
leave my fears,
the destiny manifests in time.
I don't care if you leave me.
You broke the old spell.
now and then.
My soul burns forever.
Shine on, shine on.
Away from prophecies of pain,
it's time to kick the things we hate
Talk about us without unreal promises
I don't care if you leave me.
You gave the energy
for my last resurrection
in this short life.
My soul burns forever.
Shine on, shine on
The lyrics of Split Heaven's "My Soul Burns Forever" are a reflection of the singer's past relationship and the desire to move on from the pain. The song begins with the singer having a vision of their past love and wondering if their love will ever grow again. He wants to rewrite his story line and leave behind the fear he has. The song talks about how destiny manifests in its own way and time, so he doesn't have to worry about it.
The chorus of the song consists of the lines "My soul burns forever. Shine on, shine on." This line talks about how the singer's soul is on fire and will never die, implying that he will always carry the memories and pain of the past with him. The lines "Light times are waiting for me now and then" represent the hope that the singer has found in life after the break-up.
The second verse of the song talks about moving on from the past and away from the pain. The singer talks about kicking out the things that they hate and living life without any unreal promises. The lines "You gave the energy for my last resurrection in this short life" talk about how the past love has given him the energy to keep going and resurrect himself in this short life.
