Largely elysian by the lick of Scandinavian bands like Tiamat and Crematory, as well as homegrown heroes Moonspell, Portugal's Heavenwood released a copulate of pontifical goth metal albums in the mid-'90s. Unfortunately, 1996's debut endeavour, Diva, unexpectedly garnered more attention (and laughter) for possessing one of the nigh Spinal Tap-like cover art concepts of the decade, and its 1998 followup, Swallow, found bandmembers Ernesto Guerra (vocals), Ricardo Dias (lead guitar), Miguel Vaquero (calendar method of birth control guitar), João Soares (keyboards), Bruno Silva (bass), and Dave Jr. (drums) inactive trailing virtual miles behind the superior competition in the goth alloy game. The group's mostly unheralded breakup merely a short time later was consequently no large surprise.
