They combine thundering speed, '80s metal riffs (we all miss), battles of solos and high pitched vocals to create a vicious monster ready to bite, infect and spread the word of Heavy Metal. These five amigos from Mexico are ready to make you scream.

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.

The Wizard
Split Heaven Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fragile is the candor
it turns into a lie, easy to carry
but hard to realize.

Over the years some certainties appear
leaving wounds that never heal.

People watch me with disdain,

Whispering my name!
Emptiness takes over them.
I'm the wizard!

How many tears do we have to cry?
A lot of time has passed
and we don't stop at last!

Now that they can hear me,
you should know
I'm the law in this badlands.

People watch me with disdain.
Whispering my name!
Emptiness takes over them.
I'm the wizard!

Over the years some certainties appear,
leaving wounds that never heal

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Split Heaven's song "The Wizard" are deep and insightful, exploring the theme of falsehood and the pain it can cause. The opening line "Fragile is the candor, it turns into a lie, easy to carry but hard to realize" refers to how easily honesty can be turned into a lie, and how difficult it can be to come to terms with this falsehood. The line is particularly resonant as it highlights how fragile trust is and how quickly it can be lost once broken.

The following lines "over the years some certainties appear, leaving wounds that never heal" are poignant and highlight how the passing of time can exacerbate the pain of a situation. This is particularly relevant in relationships and how the hurt caused by broken trust can never truly heal, leaving deep emotional scars.

The chorus "People watch me with disdain, whispering my name, emptiness takes over them, I'm the wizard" is powerful and suggestive of how people can be quick to judge and condemn others without really knowing the truth. The idea that emptiness and negativity can take over a person when they believe false information also suggests how easily individuals can be manipulated.
